How Can We Help?
Procedures for Recording Contacts – Call Center
- It is not necessary to record a call in the Contacts Module if a client calls the Call Center, is screened and an appointment is set. The scheduling of the appointment and submission of the application will record the call contact.
- If a client calls for a reason such as problem with medical bill, complaint, etc., follow the instructions in that particular topic area for recording the call contact.
- If the call does not fall within the specific instructions for a topic area or a specific category, i.e. Pharmacy, Eligibility Information, Misdirected Calls, etc., record the call under “Customer Service Call Center, Request for Information/Issues, General Information”.
- If a call falls into 2 or more distinct topic areas, record the call contact under each of the applicable areas as per the instructions for that topic area.
- If, after scheduling an appointment you give the caller general information about the appointment or the program, there is no need to record a second contact. It is an expectation that when a client is helped, they will also be given general information about the process and programs.
