Abstract
In particular, systems and methods for facilitating the purchase of health-related items such as durable medical equipment are provided. In one embodiment, a method comprises: responsive to a selection of a health-related product input by a user, automatically determining if the health-related product is a qualified healthcare expense; calculating an out-of-pocket cost to the user of the healthcare product based on a health insurance plan of the user; and generating a coupon for the health-related product that discounts a retail cost of the health-related product to the out-of-pocket cost responsive to a merchant accepting the coupon. In this way, a healthcare consumer may utilize their healthcare insurance benefits to purchase health-related products such as durable medical equipment from retail merchants.
