Delta Dental provides dental insurance coverage to more than 83 million Americans. They are the largest dental insurance provider in the United States, saving their customers more than $4.3 billion in just the past few years.

Creating over 80 million insurance quotes annually, Delta Dental tasks their underwriters with the creation of these quotes for prospective clients. Underwriters identify the manual and tedious data entry of client-supplied information to be the biggest pain point of this process. Due to the chaotic nature of this data and a wide range of possible formats, efficiency can be an elusive goal.

Our Insurance Quoting Assistant solves this by analyzing and parsing a wide variety of client-supplied files and automatically creating proposals, thereby streamlining the underwriting process.

The web application lets an underwriter upload a wide variety of files and to review automatically generated sections of the quote through an intuitive and easy to use UI. Once the underwriter reviews and makes the necessary additions, the web application generates a proposal document for the client.

If changes are requested, seamless version tracking and editing capabilities aid the underwriter in accommodating, while the search feature enables efficient retrieval of these different versions.

Our application streamlines the underwriting process by enabling underwriters to gather and review information to generate quotes at an unprecedented rate.

Even using a very conservative estimate the tool saves around 200 hours of work time a year and likely more for some of the more difficult quotes.

The front end of our web application is built with Angular and Bootstrap. Python FastAPI serves as the AI microservice. MongoDB provides the database. The Java Quarkus back end connects all these components together.
