Segmenting benefits and policy documents for a healthcare team

A healthcare team used Docen to split dense benefits documents into addressable, searchable sections.

THE DOCEN TEAM·Mar 11, 2025·5 MIN READ

The challenge

A healthcare team worked with long benefits and policy documents where the right answer lived in a specific clause buried across dozens of pages. Flat text extraction lost the structure that made those clauses findable.

The approach

Docen Layout and segmentation split each document into a clean hierarchy of sections and subsections, each addressable on its own. That structure powered accurate search and retrieval over the corpus.

  • Parsing and layout to recover clean structure.
  • Schema-driven extraction for the fields that mattered.
  • Evaluation against a labeled sample before rollout.

The outcome

Answers became traceable to the exact section they came from, which matters a great deal in a regulated setting.

Section hierarchy is the whole game for us. Getting it right across long documents is what made retrieval trustworthy.— VP of Engineering, healthcare team
