Abstract

The Use Determination Risk Coverage Datastructure for On-Demand and Increased Efficiency Coverage Detection and Rebalancing Apparatuses, Methods and Systems (“UDRCD”) transforms coverage enrollment request, event signal inputs via UDRCD components into coverage enrollment response, add-in recommendation outputs. An event signal associated with a plan member enrolled into a plan that includes a core coverage component and an add-ins coverage component is obtained. Plan member data associated with the plan member is retrieved. A condition or procedure associated with the event signal is determined based on event signal data. An atomized add-in recommendation for the plan member is determined. The atomized add-in recommendation is provided to the plan member via an enrollment user interface. A selection of an atomized add-in is obtained from the plan member via the enrollment user interface. Addition of the selected atomized add-in to the add-ins coverage component of the plan is facilitated.

14 . The system of claim 1 , wherein adding the first healthcare add-in to the related atomized add-in healthcare coverage component of the healthcare plan results in one or more of an introduction of a copay amount or for a first service associated with the first healthcare add-in and an increased cost of the healthcare plan.

15 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the healthcare enrollment user interface comprises one or more of a toggle healthcare network selection switch, a co-pay slider selection mechanism, a health network informational widget, or a healthcare add-in upgrade toggle switch.

16 . One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
