Project poster

If you needed surgery today, do you know how much your insurance would cover and how much it would cost you? Chances are, it would take several phone calls, using a lot of confusing jargon, and up to three business days to get an answer. We want to change that. MedPath proposes to change that process by creating a mobile application that will allow for instant searching to verify insurance policy coverage. This project consists of two parts: a metadata framework, which is the foundation for designing a central database repository, and a wireframe design of the front end mobile application. It is a prototype of a fully functioning application that can change the way insurance coverage is currently understood and used in the US. It will allow consumers to verify their insurance policy coverage in real-time, therefore giving them the power to receive the quality care without paying unnecessary costs or wasting time.
