SlashData's Role in Automating ICP's Health Insurance Verification Process
As part of a national digital transformation initiative with the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP), SlashData delivered a federal-scale platform that automates health insurance verification across the UAE. The initiative directly supports the UAE's Zero Bureaucracy Vision by eliminating manual checks, paper-based submissions, and fragmented insurer validation processes.
Rabet by the Numbers
The Challenge
Before automation, health insurance verification relied on uploaded documents and manual inspection, creating operational inefficiencies, fraud exposure, and customer friction at scale.
Absence of Real-Time Insurance Verification
Insurance validity could not be verified live against insurer systems at the time of submission.
15–25% of submitted insurance policies were inactive (expired, cancelled, or suspended) at submission time
Delayed detection led to reprocessing cycles of 3–7 business days
Increased downstream rejections and resubmissions
Elevated Fraud Risk from Document-Based Proof
Paper and uploaded insurance cards lacked authenticity and traceability controls.
8–15% of submissions required secondary verification due to inconsistencies
Exposure to altered, duplicated, or reused insurance documents
Increased audit effort and compliance risk
High Manual Workload and Data Errors
Verification depended heavily on human review and data entry.
70–85% of verification activities were manual
Data entry errors contributed to 5–12% rework rates
Increased in-person visits and customer service interactions
The SlashData Solution
SlashData implemented a fully automated, end-to-end electronic insurance verification platform, integrating ICP systems directly with health insurance providers through secure, standardized APIs.
