Patent

U.S. Patent 12,682,329, Systems and method for multi-layer adaptive packet routing, lists William C. Short as inventor and Accresa Health LLC as assignee (patent record). The patent covers a computer-implemented process that brings multiple payors and healthcare payees into a configurable group, bundles invoice data, determines payment responsibility under healthcare-plan rules, collects funds, and distributes them to the appropriate providers.

The patent is significant to Accresa because it protects the payment-orchestration layer behind many-to-many healthcare transactions. That layer can replace numerous disconnected invoices and payments with rules-based allocation, consolidated billing, and provider settlement. It is relevant to direct primary care, direct-to-employer care, subscription medicine, and other models involving recurring payments among employers, members, plans, administrators, and providers.

VentureBeat reported the grant and quoted Short as CEO of Accresa. The issued patent followed a continuation family dating to 2018. See Patents for the claim groups, filing chronology, and limits of the patent's significance.
