AI Document Processing: 80% Faster Claims Review

An insurance company's claims team was manually reviewing 500+ documents per day. We built an LLM-powered pipeline that extracts, classifies, and summarizes claim documents, cutting review time by 80%.

The Challenge

What was getting in the way

  1. 01

    Claims adjusters spent 3+ hours per day reading and extracting data from PDFs, medical reports, and police reports

  2. 02

    Manual data entry into the claims system was error-prone. About 12% of claims had data discrepancies that caused processing delays

  3. 03

    Peak season (storm, accident spikes) created backlogs of 2,000+ unprocessed claims. Hiring temp staff took weeks

The Solution

How we solved it

We built a document processing pipeline using GPT-4o for extraction and classification, with Tesseract OCR for scanned documents. Each document goes through: OCR (if needed), classification (medical report, police report, invoice, etc.), structured data extraction (dates, amounts, names, policy numbers), and a summary generation step. Extracted data is validated against business rules and pushed directly into the claims management system via API. Adjusters now review a pre-filled summary instead of reading raw documents. For straightforward claims, the system auto-fills everything and just needs a human sign-off.
