Anthem Enables Intelligent Claims Processing Using Amazon Textract
2021
Industry Challenge
Health insurance companies spend millions of dollars to extract sensitive information from claims forms and accompanying attachments to perform their business operations. At Anthem it took an average of 20 minutes per claim to manually extract this information. To reduce manual labor, the company wanted to automate the process.
We hope technologies like Amazon Textract will help Anthem become a digital-first organization.”

Anthem’s Solution
Turning to Amazon Web Services (AWS), Anthem used Amazon Textract—a fully managed machine learning service that automatically extracts printed text, handwriting, and other data from scanned documents—to digitize and automate its claims process. Anthem chose Amazon Textract for its image-processing capability, ability to detect tables and forms, and adherence to security and compliance standards.
After a medical provider submits documents to Anthem’s provider portal, the documents enter a data store and are sent to a digital-processing function powered by Amazon Textract. Inside this function, Amazon Textract uses optical character recognition to extract data and uses machine learning to automatically index and classify each document. The processed claim is then made available to Anthem stakeholders.
