Federal veterans benefits agency Hyperscience claims intake

L2 · Supervised Unverified · Reported Federal Agency / Public Sector Operations

A US federal agency serving ~9M veterans automated handwritten claims mail with Hyperscience, processing 115,000 claims in the first three months and claiming ~$45M/year savings (reported by Hyperscience)

Problem

A backlog of hundreds of thousands of mail/fax/electronic claims, mostly handwritten, took about three months to process (reported by Hyperscience)

Workflow

  1. Inbound claims mail/fax/e-submissions captured
  2. Hyperscience extracts fields from handwritten and complex forms
  3. Validated data enters agency claims workflow
  4. Staff focus on adjudication rather than keying

Human-in-the-loop: Adjudicators retain benefit decisions; low-confidence fields go to human review.
