Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for facilitating transactions for health-related computing products (e.g., mobile health applications or health-related devices). One method includes storing a plurality of lists, each list including health-related computing products approved for compensation by a payer entity. A claim for a health-related computing product is received from a user. The list with which the user is associated is determined. A determination is made whether the health-related computing product included in the claim is listed in the list with which the user is determined to be associated. When the health-related computing product is determined to be listed in the list with which the user is determined to be associated, compensation by the payer is authorized. However, when the health-related computing product is not determined to be listed in the list with which the user is determined to be associated, compensation by the payer is declined.
