Outsourcing Document Processing for Health Insurance

This case study details the transformation of document processing for a major U.S. health insurance company during the open enrollment season. The document outlines the challenges faced due to a surge in enrollment rates, which overwhelmed the company with an influx of physical documents. DATAMARK was engaged to design a custom document processing solution aimed at digitizing workflows to reduce waste and operational costs. The approach involved analyzing existing pain points and implementing Enterprise Content Management (ECM) along with Lean and Six Sigma methodologies to streamline processes. The solution included the use of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to automate the digitization of documents and improve data handling. Results indicated that within a year, DATAMARK processed over 40 million images, significantly lowering costs and enhancing accuracy. The implementation of a barcode system further optimized indexing and document management, leading to improved client satisfaction and operational efficiency.
