Free insurance claim OCR

Upload an insurance claim form and extract the policy number, claimant, incident dates and claimed amounts as structured data, free. It reads filled-in PDF forms, scans and photos, with no template and no account needed. It reads the form, and it doesn't assess the claim.

Any layout, no template
It works out the fields from the page itself, so there's nothing to set up.
Scans and phone photos
Digital PDFs, scanned pages and photos all go through the same way.
Structured, not just text
Named fields and table rows you can download as Excel, CSV or JSON, not a wall of OCR text.
An API when you need it
The same data from your own code, as the sample call further down shows.

Claim packets with several documents

A claim packet is usually a form plus bills, reports and ID, all in one PDF. The free try reads the first page, so it suits a single-page form or a first look. A free account reads every page and can split long files into the documents inside them.

Claim forms aren't a built-in document type yet, so an account reads each form through a workflow built from one sample. Insurance claims covers how teams set this up.

Sample API call

This is how the same claim form looks from your own code. wf_demo_insurance_claim is a dummy workflow id and every value below is invented, so the call won't run as written. A real run reads every page and adds a confidence score and page position to each field.

Run a workflow, then read the result

curl -X POST "$DOCREFINERY_API/v1/workflows/wf_demo_insurance_claim/run" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOCREFINERY_API_KEY" \
  -F "[email protected]"

# Take trace_id from the answer, then poll until status is "fulfilled"
curl "$DOCREFINERY_API/v1/runway/9f1c0a7e" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOCREFINERY_API_KEY"

Common questions

Can I extract data from a claim form for free?

Yes. Upload the first page of a claim form and the policy, claimant and amounts come back as structured fields. You get 5 free tries a day with no account or card.

Can it read handwritten claim forms?

It reads clear handwriting in boxes and on lines, and it can pick up marked tick boxes. Check handwritten values against the form, because messy entries are easy to misread.

Does it decide whether a claim is valid?

No. It reads what the form says and gives you the data. Assessing coverage, liability or fraud stays with your claims team.

Can it read a whole claim packet?

A free account reads every page of a claim packet and can separate long files into the documents inside them, such as the form, the bills and the report.
