Methods and apparatus to estimate costs of prescriptions

Abstract

Example methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture to estimate costs of prescriptions are disclosed herein. An example system to estimate a cost of a prescription for a medication includes receiving a prescription for a medication for a patient, receiving a request for an estimated cost for the prescription for the patient from an entity, forming an input vector including prescription information for the received prescription and payor information for the patient, processing the input vector for the received prescription with a trained machine learning model to determine the estimated cost of the medication for the patient, updating the machine learning model based upon computed differences between predicted costs determined by the machine learning model and actual sold costs for the plurality of sold prescriptions, providing the estimated cost to a user device, and deploying the updated machine learning model.
