Zusammenfassung:	A system and method for processing healthcare payments is provided. A payment request is received for a charge for healthcare services provided by a healthcare provider via a communications interface of a computer system. The payment request identifies an end-user receiving the healthcare services. A first payment is received from at least one healthcare insurance plan covering at least a portion of the charge for the end-user. A second payment is received from at least one funding account of the end-user from which the remainder of the charge is to be paid. A third payment is transferred to a financial account associated with the healthcare provider for the charge.
