Redact health plan identifiers from text, JSON, and CSV

A plan ID links a person to their insurer, their employer, and their claims history. It is also one of the 18 HIPAA identifiers.

How Redactly detects health plan identifiers

• Detected from a member, policy, or plan cue together with the value.
• Handles both all-numeric and alphanumeric identifiers.
• The value must contain a digit, so a plan name alone is not captured.

Why redact health plan identifiers?

Plan IDs expose the payer relationship, which is both health and employment information.

Example request

curl -X POST https://api.bitbanger.in/v1/redact \
  -H "X-API-Key: rdct_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text": "Member ID: HPN-88231-04, group 5567, plan PPO.", "style": "replace"}'

Every hit in the response carries entity, text, start, and end. The offsets index into the text you sent, so you can apply the redactions to your own copy of the document. The full response schema is in the API reference.
