US Healthcare Card OCR Ruby

The Ruby OCR SDK supports the Healthcare Card API.

Using the sample below, we are going to illustrate how to extract the data that we want using the OCR SDK.
Healthcare Card sample

Quick-Start

require 'mindee'

# Init a new client
mindee_client = Mindee::Client.new(api_key: 'my-api-key')

# Load a file from disk
input_source = mindee_client.source_from_path('/path/to/the/file.ext')

# Parse the file
result = mindee_client.enqueue_and_parse(
  input_source,
  Mindee::Product::US::HealthcareCard::HealthcareCardV1
)

# Print a full summary of the parsed data in RST format
puts result.document

# Print the document-level parsed data
# puts result.document.inference.prediction

Output (RST):

Field Types

Standard Fields

These fields are generic and used in several products.

Basic Field

Each prediction object contains a set of fields that inherit from the generic Field class.
A typical Field object will have the following attributes:

  • value (String, Float, Integer, Boolean): corresponds to the field value. Can be nil if no value was extracted.
  • confidence (Float, nil): the confidence score of the field prediction.
  • bounding_box (Mindee::Geometry::Quadrilateral, nil): contains exactly 4 relative vertices (points) coordinates of a right rectangle containing the field in the document.
  • polygon (Mindee::Geometry::Polygon, nil): contains the relative vertices coordinates (Point) of a polygon containing the field in the image.
  • page_id (Integer, nil): the ID of the page, always nil when at document-level.
  • reconstructed (Boolean): indicates whether an object was reconstructed (not extracted as the API gave it).

Aside from the previous attributes, all basic fields have access to a to_s method that can be used to print their value as a string.

Date Field

Aside from the basic Field attributes, the date field DateField also implements the following:

  • date_object (Date): an accessible representation of the value as a JavaScript object.

String Field

The text field StringField only has one constraint: it's value is a String (or nil).

Specific Fields

Fields which are specific to this product; they are not used in any other product.

copays Field

Is a fixed amount for a covered service.

A HealthcareCardV1Copay implements the following attributes:

  • service_fees (Float): The price of service.
  • service_name (String): The name of service of the copay.

Attributes

The following fields are extracted for Healthcare Card V1:

Company Name

company_name (StringField): The name of the company that provides the healthcare plan.

puts result.document.inference.prediction.company_name.value

copays

copays (Array<HealthcareCardV1Copay>): Is a fixed amount for a covered service.

for copays_elem in result.document.inference.prediction.copays do
  puts copays_elem.value
end

Dependents

dependents (Array<StringField>): The list of dependents covered by the healthcare plan.

for dependents_elem in result.document.inference.prediction.dependents do
  puts dependents_elem.value
end

Enrollment Date

enrollment_date (DateField): The date when the member enrolled in the healthcare plan.

puts result.document.inference.prediction.enrollment_date.value

Group Number

group_number (StringField): The group number associated with the healthcare plan.

puts result.document.inference.prediction.group_number.value

Issuer 80840

issuer80840 (StringField): The organization that issued the healthcare plan.

puts result.document.inference.prediction.issuer80840.value

Member ID

member_id (StringField): The unique identifier for the member in the healthcare system.

puts result.document.inference.prediction.member_id.value

Member Name

member_name (StringField): The name of the member covered by the healthcare plan.

puts result.document.inference.prediction.member_name.value

Payer ID

payer_id (StringField): The unique identifier for the payer in the healthcare system.

puts result.document.inference.prediction.payer_id.value

RX BIN

rx_bin (StringField): The BIN number for prescription drug coverage.

puts result.document.inference.prediction.rx_bin.value

RX GRP

rx_grp (StringField): The group number for prescription drug coverage.

puts result.document.inference.prediction.rx_grp.value

RX PCN

rx_pcn (StringField): The PCN number for prescription drug coverage.

puts result.document.inference.prediction.rx_pcn.value
