Insurance Card Scan (US)
This document explains how to enable US Insurance Card Scan in the verification flow and Passbase API
Add an Insurance Card (US) scan for end users in the US to your workflow through the Passbase dashboard to gather proof of US health insurance or to use as a secondary piece of ID for identity verification.
Within the customization additional checks page, you can enable the Insurance Card Scan (US) by dragging the Insurance Card Scan (US) check to the Live Version section. Click the Publish Changes button when complete. Your users will now be prompted to scan the front and back of their US Insurance Card as the final step of the verification flow.

The Insurance Card (US) data for each Verification is accessible using the below Passbase API endpoints. You can find more information about the endpoints in our API explorer, and you can use one of our server-side libraries to interact with the Passbase API.
// List all identities
https://api.passbase.com/verification/v1/identities
// Get identity for a specific id / key
https://api.passbase.com/verification/v1/identities/{id}
The response of the API will have the following parameters:
Parameter | Description |
first_names | First names of the user the Insurance Card belongs to |
last_name | Last name of the user the Insurance Card belongs to |
date_of_issue | Date of issue of the Insurance Card |
insurance_provide | Name of insurance provider |
group_number | Group number of the user the Insurance Card belongs to |
member_id | Member id of the user the Insurance Card belongs to |
