AI Document Parsing

Extract benefit data from PDFs, Excel files, and images automatically — verified against the source, with anything uncertain flagged instead of guessed.

Why AI Document Parsing?

Automated Intake

Census files, invoices, benefit summaries, and carrier quotes are parsed and standardized automatically.

Verified Against the Source

Every extracted field is checked against the original PDF, and anything Planlined is unsure of is flagged instead of guessed.

Multiple Formats

Supports PDF, Excel (.xlsx, .xls), CSV, Word, PowerPoint, and most image formats (PNG, JPG).

OCR for Images

Paste screenshots or images directly—Planlined extracts plan details and maps them into your comparison.

Error Prevention

Built-in validation flags missing fields and discrepancies before clients see them.

Named Carrier Readers

Purpose-built readers for Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Florida Blue, ADP TotalSource, Paychex, Benefitter and the major ancillary carriers, plus a general reader for every other document.

Verify, don't trust

Every number, next to the page it came from.

Planlined shows the extracted fields beside the original PDF, so you check the work instead of taking it on faith — and it flags the values it is unsure about rather than quietly guessing.

Sources Planlined reads

Named readers for the sources brokers see most. A general reader for the rest.

Planlined ships purpose-built readers for specific carrier, PEO and payroll document formats, and a general reader backed by Google Cloud Document AI for everything else. Every extracted value is shown beside its source page; uncertain values are flagged rather than guessed.

Do not see your carrier? Upload the document anyway. The general reader handles it, and you verify the result against the source page before it reaches a client.

Upload to comparison

Six steps, about ninety seconds.

  1. 01

    Drop the documents in

    SBCs, quotes, rate sheets, census files — PDF, Excel, Word or CSV.

    Empty upload area inviting files to be dropped
  2. 02

    Planlined sorts them for you

    Each file is classified by type before anything is parsed, so a quote is not read like an SBC.

    Uploaded files grouped by detected document type
  3. 03

    Extraction runs

    Deductibles, out-of-pocket maximums, copays and rates are pulled out in parallel.

    Extraction progress across the uploaded documents
  4. 04

    Check it against the source

    Fields sit beside the original page. Anything Planlined is unsure of is flagged, not hidden.

    Plans, not documents

    What was four PDFs is now structured plans you can compare and edit.

    Say what each one is

    Mark current, proposed and alternates — then the case is ready to build.

The point of all this

Four documents in. One comparison out.

Four carrier documents across two carriers become ten plans in one comparison, organized into three benefit groups — deductibles, out-of-pocket maximums, and copays lined up in-network and out for every plan. Wherever the source paperwork includes rates, the annual premiums land in the same view — $320,822.40, $361,558.56, $323,147.76 — so the quoted cost sits right next to the parsed coverage, not in a separate spreadsheet.
