Insurance

Streamline claims processing with structured photo collection. Visiono guides policyholders through exactly what photos you need, reducing back-and-forth and accelerating claim resolution.

The Challenge

Insurance claims processing faces significant friction:

• Incomplete documentation - Policyholders don't know what photos to send
• Multiple requests - Adjusters ask for additional photos repeatedly
• Quality issues - Blurry photos, wrong angles, missing details
• Fraud concerns - No verification of when/where photos were taken
• Slow processing - Days or weeks to gather complete documentation

How Visiono Helps

Guided Photo Collection

Instead of vague instructions, send structured photo requests:

Example: Auto Collision Claim

Vehicle Damage Documentation

1. Front view of entire vehicle (include license plate)
2. Close-up of damage from directly in front
3. Damage from 45-degree angle (left)
4. Damage from 45-degree angle (right)
5. VIN number (dashboard or door jamb)
6. Current odometer reading
7. Any additional damage or context

Policyholders follow clear visual instructions, capturing exactly what adjusters need.

Verified Submissions

Every photo includes metadata for verification:

• Timestamp - When the photo was taken
• Geolocation - Where the photo was taken (optional)
• Device fingerprint - Unique device identifier

This helps identify potentially fraudulent submissions.

Faster Resolution

Claims move faster when documentation is complete from the start:

• First submission contains all required photos
• Adjusters can assess damage immediately
• Fewer follow-up requests mean faster processing

Workflow Integration

Claims Management Systems

Integrate Visiono with your claims platform:

Claim Filed → Photo Request Created → Policyholder Notified →
Photos Submitted → Attached to Claim → Adjuster Reviews

Use our API or webhooks to automate this workflow.

Adjuster Workflow

1. Claim is filed through normal channels
2. System automatically sends Visiono photo request
3. Policyholder receives link via SMS or email
4. Photos submitted directly to the claim
5. Adjuster reviews complete documentation

Fraud Prevention

Metadata Verification

Each photo submission includes:

• Capture timestamp (vs. upload timestamp)
• GPS coordinates (when enabled)
• Device information
• Photo EXIF data

Red Flags to Watch

Visiono helps identify potential fraud:

• Photos taken days/weeks before submission
• Location doesn't match claim address
• Multiple claims with similar photos
• Metadata stripped or inconsistent

Compliance Support

Maintain audit trails for:

• Regulatory compliance
• Litigation support
• Internal reviews
• Quality assurance

Best Practices for Insurance

Claim-Specific Templates

Create templates for common claim types:

• Auto collision
• Auto comprehensive
• Homeowner's water damage
• Homeowner's theft
• Commercial property

Clear Instructions with Examples

In photo slot descriptions:

• Describe exactly what to capture
• Explain acceptable angles/distances
• Provide example images if possible

Instruction Example

Photo Slot: Front View of Damage

"Stand 6-8 feet directly in front of the damaged area. Include the full width of the damage in the frame. The photo should be taken in daylight or well-lit conditions."

Appropriate Timeframes

Set expiration based on claim type:

• Emergency claims: 24-48 hours
• Standard claims: 7 days
• Non-urgent: 30 days

Follow-Up Process

Configure notifications for:

• Reminder to policyholder after 48 hours
• Alert to adjuster when photos received
• Escalation if request expires incomplete

Compliance Considerations

Data Privacy

• Photos stored securely with encryption
• Access controls limit who can view submissions
• Retention policies can be configured
• GDPR/CCPA compliance features available

Evidence Handling

• Unaltered original photos preserved
• Chain of custody documentation
• Export capabilities for legal proceedings

Example API Integration

Create a photo request when a claim is filed:

// When new claim is created in your system
const response = await fetch('https://api.visiono.io/v1/photo-requests', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'X-API-Key': 'your_api_key',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    title: `Claim #${claimNumber} - ${claimType}`,
    external_reference: claimNumber,
    recipient_name: policyholderName,
    recipient_email: policyholderEmail,
    template_id: 'tpl_auto_collision',
    expires_in_days: 7
  })
});

Photos will be linked to your claim via the external_reference field.
