Abstract

Systems and methods automate data entry and processing. Data is automatically entered into a system by reading a user identification card. The data can be supplemented with additional information, if necessary, and processed by the system. In one embodiment, the data is used to register an employee for an employee benefit program offered by a provider such as an insurance carrier. The data read from the identification card is automatically entered into an electronic enrollment form where the user can check it. Documentation corresponding to the enrollment form can be converted to an electronic copy, if necessary, and attached to the enrollment form. Once the enrollment form is complete, the user can electronically sign the enrollment form and send it through a computer network to the provider. The provider may then process the enrollment form, request additional information or corrections from the user, and register the user for the products or services.
