ABSTRACT:
An attachment integrated claims (AIC) system is formed by a combination of first, second and third storage media. The first storage medium stores computer readable instructions for permitting a first computer system to receive textual data as field data, where each of the field data is displayed on a predetermined portion of a first screen of the first computer system, to assemble the field data and a corresponding digitized image into a first file having an integrated file format and to transmit the first file to a second computer system via a communications channel. The second storage medium stores computer readable instructions permitting the second computer system to receive the first file via the communications channel, to display the corresponding digitized attachment on a second screen of the second computer system, and to transfer the field data to a third computer operatively connected to the second computer. In addition, the third storage medium stores computer readable instructions permitting the third computer system to receive the field data from the second computer, to display the field data on a third screen and to generate a second file including portions of the field data extracted from the first file. In other words, the AIC system permits transmission of a customizable claim form and integrated attachment to an insurance carrier via a non-clearinghouse communications channel. An AIC system including several computers connected via a communications channel, an electronic file, and an operating method therefor are also described. In an exemplary case, the first file follows a predetermined graphic image interchange file format and the field data is incorporated into comment blocks associated with the predetermined graphic image interchange file format.
