Home/Use cases/Life & health underwriting

The APS, replaced by a structured history in under an hour.

Life, disability and health underwriters use Retrievant to retrieve and structure an applicant's records so rules engines and underwriters can work from data, not scanned PDFs.

Of APS requests that return incomplete or illegible documents.

Per APS, before the cost of the underwriter's time reading it.

How Retrievant helps

What changes.

Structured, not scannedMedications, diagnoses, labs and encounters arrive as FHIR resources with ICD-10 and RxNorm codes, ready for your rules engine.
Confidence you can act onOCR-extracted values carry a confidence score. Route low-confidence fields to a human, auto-accept the rest.
Applicant-friendly consentOne mobile-first screen, in the applicant's language. Completion rates above 80%, versus the paper authorisation you're used to.
Gap report includedKnow what wasn't found and why, so a missing record never masquerades as a clean history.
