Health Insurance Call Center

How to improve health insurance call center performance

The CallMiner Eureka conversation intelligence platform delivers all the tools you need to improve performance while enhancing the member experience.

Challenges for the health insurance call center

The healthcare landscape is rapidly evolving, and health insurers must work diligently to keep pace. Healthcare reform, new regulations, greater competition, and higher customer expectations mean that health plans must work harder to deliver exceptional member experiences that allow them to stay viable and competitive.

A health insurance call center is essential to this effort. With the right technology, insurance call center agents can more effectively answer questions, manage patient billing, navigate claims and coverage, and deliver exceptional patient service. Superior health insurance call center solutions can also mine the conversations between agents and members to better understand the patient’s experience and identify their needs, desires, opinions, and expectations.

CallMiner can help. With a platform that harnesses the power of conversation intelligence, CallMiner provides all the tools that health insurance call centers require for enhancing patient experiences, increasing satisfaction, and driving call center efficiency to reduce costs and improve margins.

The benefits of conversation intelligence

Conversation intelligence is an AI-powered technology that automates the study of voice and text-based interactions such as phone calls, chat, emails, SMS, and other communications. Using natural language processing (NLP) technology, a conversation intelligence platform analyzes interactions to understand the meaning of conversations as well as the emotion in a speaker’s voice, which can help to identify intention and the drivers of behavior.

By capturing, transcribing, analyzing, categorizing, and scoring 100% of conversations with patients, the CallMiner conversation intelligence platform can help a health insurance call center extract meaningful insights from every interaction. CallMiner can reveal deeper insight into what members want, need, and expect from their health plan and how they feel about the interaction and service they receive. Armed with this data, health insurance companies can take action to improve member experiences and increase satisfaction. CallMiner can also reveal ways in which call centers can improve efficiency and strengthen agent performance to reduce costs and improve outcomes.

This is the number one thing we wanted; something automated to understand the patient experience in a faster and more accurate way. Before CallMiner, we were doing patient surveys and manual quality assessments, and that just doesn’t offer the same level of actionable insights.
