1. A method for selectively restricting access to a personal/individual health record, said method comprising a computer performing the steps:
- (a) making a personal health record (“
PHR”
) system with a personal/individual health record of a patient accessible at least to said patient and a health care provider of said patient via the Internet, wherein the personal/individual health record includes a plurality of entries that are associated with at least one universal health care concept code;
(b) inserting to the PHR system an entry into said personal/individual health record based on input received by the personal health record system from said patient via the Internet;
(c) inserting to the PHR system an entry into said personal/individual health record based on input received by the personal health record system from said health care provider via the Internet;
(d) associating at the PHR system an access list with each user capable of accessing said personal/individual health record of said patient, wherein said access list categorizes said personal/individual health record into a restricted set of entries and an accessible set of entries based on the universal health care concept codes associated with entries in said personal/individual health record;
(e) denying access at the PHR system to a user requesting an entry in the personal/individual health record if the requested entry is in the restricted set of entries;
(f) allowing access at the PHR system to a user requesting an entry in the personal/individual health record if the requested entry is in the accessible set of entries; and
(g) adjusting access rights at the PHR system in said access list based on input received by the personal health record system from said patient via the Internet.

5. A method for selectively restricting access to a personal/individual health record, said method comprising a computer performing the steps:
-
(a) enrolling a patient in a health care plan of a payor, wherein the patient undergoes encounters with a plurality of health care providers regarding a health related issue of the patient, wherein the health care providers request payment for at least a portion of the cost for the encounters from the payor, wherein the health care providers submit health related information of the patient to the payor to support the cost of the encounters with the patient; (b) initially establishing a communication link between a personal health record (“
PHR”
) system and the payor, wherein there is no communication between PHR system and the health care providers and between the PHR system and the patient;(c) receiving to the PHR system server payor claims data regarding the patient from payor via the communication link; (d) analyzing at the PHR system server said payor claims data to determine which portion of said payor claims data is encounter data comprising at least one of a diagnosis, a treatment, a medication, and a procedure of said patient; (e) translating said encounter data in the PHR system server into one or more universal health care concept codes; (f) creating in the PHR system server a personal/individual health record of the patient by storing one or more entries into the personal/individual health record based on said encounter data and said universal health care concept codes, wherein the health care providers and the patient are not capable of establishing a communication link with the PHR system until completion of steps (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), and (f); (g) presenting from the PHR system server a webpage to said patient with a predetermined list of possible restricted areas for said personal/individual health record via the Internet; (h) creating at the PHR system server at least one access list responsive to selections made by said patient from said predetermined list of possible restricted areas; (i) associating at the PHR system server said access list with at least one user capable of accessing the personal/individual health record of the patient, wherein said access list categorizes said personal/individual health record into a restricted set of entries and an accessible set of entries based on universal health care concept codes associated with entries in said personal/individual health record;
denying access at the PHR system server to a user requesting an entry in the personal/individual health record if the requested entry is in the restricted set of entries;allowing access at the PHR system server to a user requesting an entry in the personal/individual health record if the requested entry is in the accessible set of entries. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)
