Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for partitioning prescription transaction costs in an electronic prescription transaction by determining a credit amount to be applied to an adjudicated prescription claim. The credit amount may be applied based on a co-pay amount provided by an adjudication computer and/or historical data, and may be adjusted according to an alternative cost obtained from an alternative cost data source. The alternative cost may be a cost for which a government sponsored plan can obtain the prescription. The remaining patient pay amount may be transmitted to a pharmacy computer such that a patient can purchase the prescription for a discounted cost.
