Papaya Oasis AI Claims & Underwriting Platform

Papaya is an insurtech company based in Ho Chi Minh City that positions itself as an intelligence layer for life and health insurers in Asia-Pacific. It targets paper-heavy claims and underwriting operations, where manual review slows payouts and lets fraud, waste and abuse leak through.

The Oasis platform runs claims, underwriting and FWA workflows on one engine with more than 50 AI agents. Claims agents handle document extraction, classification, medical necessity, benefit assessment, FWA screening and adjudication, with every extracted field cited to its source. The underwriting workbench reads application bundles across 17 document types, and a data layer structures documents into one timeline per insured. Insurers connect through an OpenAPI spec, native SDKs and an MCP server. Logos on the site include FWD, Chubb, Prudential, Sun Life, Bao Minh, PJICO, MB Ageas Life, PTI and HDBank.

• Underwriting workbench: Reads full application bundles and produces priced, auditable recommendations.
• Data layer: Structures documents into typed data on one timeline per insured.

A Vietnamese health insurer can automate outpatient and inpatient claim assessment and pay small claims within minutes. A life insurer can speed up medical underwriting of large application files. A bank selling bancassurance can embed AI-guided claim submission into its mobile app.

Papaya states that claims can reach payment in about three minutes, with more than 70% processed straight-through and the rest routed to human assessors. Underwriting reaches 80% straight-through issuance on applications of 400+ pages. All claims are screened for fraud, waste and abuse before payout, an area the company estimates at 8-12% of claims spend. Insurers keep ownership of the structured data layer.

Health and life insurance claims in Vietnam and the region still rely heavily on paper invoices and hospital records, while claim volumes and medical inflation keep rising. Insurers are moving from rules-based workflows to AI that can read documents, explain decisions and catch fraud before payout, and regulators expect auditable decision trails.
