Questions about Claim Denial Letter Extractor.

What does the claim denial letter extractor read?

The letter date and document number, the letter sender (insurer) and recipient (claimant), the policy number, the claim number, the claim date, the claim amount and currency, the coverage type, and the salutation and signatory. It reports the fields as written and gives no advice on the merits of the denial.

How is a claim denial different from a claim settlement or an EOB?

A claim denial letter states that a claim is denied: it gives the primary denial reason, the cited policy exclusion, and the claimant appeal rights. A claim settlement records an agreed payout, and an EOB (explanation of benefits) shows what a health plan paid and what the patient owes. For those use the claim settlement or EOB extractors.

Which denial and appeal fields come out?

The primary denial reason (enum, such as policy exclusion, ineligibility, insufficient documentation, or not covered), the specific policy exclusion clause, the body summary of the reasoning, the appeal deadline, the appeal instructions, the contact information, and the claim adjuster name each come back as fields.

Are the denial reasons and claim history returned as tables?

Yes. A denial reasons table returns each reason id, category, text, cited policy section reference, and sequence order; and a claim history table returns each event date, event type, description, and the claim status after the event.

What are the file limits and privacy terms?

PDF only, up to 10MB and 100 pages. The letter is processed via the Talonic API for extraction only, is not retained for training, and is not shared.

Doing this to one file, or to ten thousand?

The tool reads a single document. The platform reads the whole estate once and keeps it queryable — the same engine, with a memory.

See document data extraction if you run this for underwriting and claims teams, or the extraction API if you are building it in.
