Trendsic Case Study

1,000+ More Claim Forms Processed Daily: Custom OCR Software Automates Insurance Workflow

Trendsic built a custom OCR and Automation Software Suite for Starmount Life Insurance that eliminated manual data entry from claim forms — dramatically increasing processing speed, reducing overhead costs, and improving data accuracy across the organization.

Insurance form processing automation for Starmount Life Insurance

Client & Industry

Starmount Life Insurance is a Louisiana-based health and supplemental benefits insurance provider facing rapidly growing customer demand and a surging volume of new applications. Starmount processes a wide variety of insurance forms — including Dental Claim Forms, Health Insurance Claim Forms, Accidental Death Insurance forms, and ADA Dental Claim forms.

Starmount received physical and scanned insurance forms from customers and policyholders, each requiring staff to manually read and re-key data fields into their internal management systems. As claim volume grew, staffing demands and processing time also increased.

Trendsic was contracted to create a custom, scalable solution that could handle growing volumes of incoming forms without a proportional increase in staffing costs or error rates for one of Louisiana’s most trusted insurance providers. See how Trendsic serves businesses across Baton Rouge.

The Challenge

A labor-intensive, error-prone manual data entry process couldn’t keep pace with growing insurance claim volume.

Challenge 1

Manual Data Entry at Scale

Each physical and scanned insurance form from customers and policyholders required staff to manually read and re-key data fields into their internal management systems. As claim volume grew, so did the staffing demands and time required to keep up with processing.

Challenge 2

Errors, Corrections, and Audit Overhead

Manual data entry was not only labor-intensive but also prone to errors. Additional time was required for identification, correction, and audit — compounding operational overhead and slowing the claim resolution cycle for end customers.

The Solution

Trendsic designed a custom OCR and Automation Software Suite that replaced manual data entry with an intelligent, rules-driven processing pipeline.

Capability 1

Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

The software performed OCR on both scanned and digital insurance forms to automatically extract relevant data fields — eliminating the need for staff to manually read and re-key information from the forms themselves.

Capability 2

Business Rule Validation & Automation

Extracted data was validated against predefined business rules and cross-referenced with patient, provider, and insurer records. Audit reports were generated for each form, with streamlined workflows handling edge cases.

Capability 3

Direct System Population

Validated data was populated directly into Starmount’s internal insurance management system and database — completing the end-to-end automation pipeline from form intake to system record, without requiring manual staff involvement.

This kind of solution reflects the same approach behind our business process automation and custom software development services — purpose-built systems that eliminate manual overhead and scale with your operations.
