UB-04 OCR software for CMS-1450 line item extraction

Hewto.ai automates CMS-1450 paper claim conversion — line item extraction, revenue-code capture, and charge description extraction — turning complex UB-04 institutional forms into clean, validated, 837I-ready data. End-to-end paper claim conversion for hospitals, payers, and clearinghouses.

CMS-1450 OCR data capture

High-accuracy OCR data capture from UB-04 / CMS-1450 forms — scans, faxes, and multi-page institutional claims of any quality.

CMS-1450 line item extraction

Line item extraction that splits revenue codes, HCPCS, units, and charges across every service line, even when claims span multiple pages.

Charge description extraction

CMS-1450 charge description extraction pairs each revenue code with its description and amount, alongside condition, occurrence, value, and span codes.

837I-ready delivery

Outputs clean, validated data mapped for institutional EDI, ready for your clearinghouse or adjudication engine.

Agentic Document Extraction

Why Hewto.ai outperforms traditional UB-04 OCR

We don't use character-by-character OCR. Hewto.ai runs an agentic document extraction pipeline built on vision-language models fine-tuned specifically for the UB-04 / CMS-1450 institutional claim form. The model reads the claim the way a trained hospital biller does — looking at the whole form, its 81 form locators, and every visual cue — so it captures details a traditional OCR engine silently misses.

Vision-first, not character-first

A VLM sees the UB-04 as a whole — 81 boxes, revenue-code grids, occurrence and condition codes, signatures, stamps, and long value-code stacks — instead of stitching guesses letter by letter. Visual context stays intact.

Fine-tuned on UB-04 / CMS-1450

Our models are fine-tuned on real UB-04 institutional claims across payers, scan qualities, and facility layouts. They know FL 42 is a revenue-code line — not just a grid of characters — so extractions map cleanly to fields, not raw text.

Agentic reasoning, per field

Each field runs through a purpose-built agent that verifies context, cross-checks related form locators, and self-corrects when something looks off — the kind of judgment a deterministic OCR pipeline simply can't make.

Traditional OCR misses
  • Revenue-code lines misaligned across FL 42 / 43 / 44 / 47
  • Occurrence codes, value codes, and condition codes stacked in FL 18–41
  • Checkbox / tick selections for admission type and priority
  • Handwritten patient signatures and dates of service
  • Long HCPCS/CPT tables with modifiers on institutional lines
  • Facility stamps, initials, and hand-corrections
Hewto.ai captures
  • Every revenue-code line correctly aligned with charges and units
  • Occurrence, value, and condition codes parsed into their FL slots
  • All checkboxes and ticks — including partially marked ones
  • Handwriting in any box, including signatures and hand-written dates
  • HCPCS/CPT + modifier stacks preserved per service line
  • Stamps, initials, and hand-corrections preserved with confidence scores
