Abstract

A computer-implemented method, computer program product and computing system for: defining a temporal donation schedule for a user, wherein the temporal donation schedule defines a plurality of target organizations; enabling a user to purchase a health-related product from a provider at a health-related product cost; identifying a portion of the health-related product cost for donation to a specific target organization defined within the temporal donation schedule, thus defining a donation portion; and providing the donation portion to the specific target organization defined within the temporal donation schedule.

Claims (57)

1 . A computer-implemented method, executed on a computing device, comprising:

defining a temporal donation schedule for a user, wherein the temporal donation schedule defines a plurality of target organizations;

enabling a user to purchase a health-related product from a provider at a health-related product cost;

identifying a portion of the health-related product cost for donation to a specific target organization defined within the temporal donation schedule, thus defining a donation portion; and

providing the donation portion to the specific target organization defined within the temporal donation schedule.

2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein the target organization includes one or more of:

a charitable organization;

a non-profit organization; and

an educational organization.

3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein providing the donation portion to the specific target organization defined within the temporal donation schedule includes:

anonymously providing the donation portion to the specific target organization defined within the temporal donation schedule.

4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein the temporal donation schedule defines a donation period for each of the plurality of target organizations.

5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 4 wherein providing the donation portion to the specific target organization defined within the temporal donation schedule includes:

defining a purchase date for the health-related product purchased by the user.

6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 5 wherein the specific target organization has a donation period that includes the purchase date.

7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein the donation portion is a fixed amount that is based upon a tier defined for the health-related product.

8 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein the donation portion is a percentage of the health-related product cost.

9 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein a portion of the health-related product cost is provided to a pharmacy benefits manager (PBM), thus defining a PBM portion.

10 . The computer-implemented method of claim 9 wherein the donation portion is a sub-portion of the PBM portion.

11 . A computer program product residing on a computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

defining a temporal donation schedule for a user, wherein the temporal donation schedule defines a plurality of target organizations;

enabling a user to purchase a health-related product from a provider at a health-related product cost;

identifying a portion of the health-related product cost for donation to a specific target organization defined within the temporal donation schedule, thus defining a donation portion; and

providing the donation portion to the specific target organization defined within the temporal donation schedule.

12 . The computer program product of claim 11 wherein the target organization includes one or more of:

a charitable organization;

a non-profit organization; and

an educational organization.

13 . The computer program product of claim 11 wherein providing the donation portion to the specific target organization defined within the temporal donation schedule includes:

anonymously providing the donation portion to the specific target organization defined within the temporal donation schedule.

14 . The computer program product of claim 11 wherein the temporal donation schedule defines a donation period for each of the plurality of target organizations.

15 . The computer program product of claim 14 wherein providing the donation portion to the specific target organization defined within the temporal donation schedule includes:

defining a purchase date for the health-related product purchased by the user.

16 . The computer program product of claim 15 wherein the specific target organization has a donation period that includes the purchase date.

17 . The computer program product of claim 11 wherein the donation portion is a fixed amount that is based upon a tier defined for the health-related product.

18 . The computer program product of claim 11 wherein the donation portion is a percentage of the health-related product cost.

19 . The computer program product of claim 11 wherein a portion of the health-related product cost is provided to a pharmacy benefits manager (PBM), thus defining a PBM portion.

20 . The computer program product of claim 19 wherein the donation portion is a sub-portion of the PBM portion.

21 . A computing system including a processor and memory configured to perform operations comprising:

defining a temporal donation schedule for a user, wherein the temporal donation schedule defines a plurality of target organizations;

enabling a user to purchase a health-related product from a provider at a health-related product cost;

identifying a portion of the health-related product cost for donation to a specific target organization defined within the temporal donation schedule, thus defining a donation portion; and

providing the donation portion to the specific target organization defined within the temporal donation schedule.

22 . The computing system of claim 21 wherein the target organization includes one or more of:

a charitable organization;

a non-profit organization; and

an educational organization.

23 . The computing system of claim 21 wherein providing the donation portion to the specific target organization defined within the temporal donation schedule includes:

anonymously providing the donation portion to the specific target organization defined within the temporal donation schedule.

24 . The computing system of claim 21 wherein the temporal donation schedule defines a donation period for each of the plurality of target organizations.

25 . The computing system of claim 24 wherein providing the donation portion to the specific target organization defined within the temporal donation schedule includes:

defining a purchase date for the health-related product purchased by the user.

26 . The computing system of claim 25 wherein the specific target organization has a donation period that includes the purchase date.

27 . The computing system of claim 21 wherein the donation portion is a fixed amount that is based upon a tier defined for the health-related product.

28 . The computing system of claim 21 wherein the donation portion is a percentage of the health-related product cost.

29 . The computing system of claim 21 wherein a portion of the health-related product cost is provided to a pharmacy benefits manager (PBM), thus defining a PBM portion.

30 . The computing system of claim 29 wherein the donation portion is a sub-portion of the PBM portion.
