The Document Intelligence health insurance card model combines powerful Optical Character Recognition (OCR) capabilities with deep learning models to analyze and extract key information from US health insurance cards. A health insurance card is a key document for care processing. It can be digitally analyzed for patient onboarding, financial coverage information, cashless payments, and insurance claim processing. The health insurance card model analyzes health card images; extracts key information such as insurer, member, prescription, and group number; and returns a structured JSON representation. Health insurance cards can be presented in various formats and quality including phone-captured images, scanned documents, and digital PDFs.

  • For best results, provide one clear photo or high-quality scan per document.

  • For PDF and TIFF, up to 2,000 pages can be processed (with a free tier subscription, only the first two pages are processed).

  • The file size for analyzing documents is 500 MB for paid (S0) tier and 4 MB for free (F0) tier.

  • Image dimensions must be between 50 pixels x 50 pixels and 10,000 pixels x 10,000 pixels.

  • If your PDFs are password-locked, you must remove the lock before submission.
