  • Proactively contact external resources as needed to address caller questions/issues (e.g., providers, labs, brokers)
  • Utilize appropriate knowledge resources to drive resolution of applicable questions/issues (e.g., websites, CRM tools, Onyx, Siebel, knowledge bases, product manuals, SharePoint)
  • Identify and communicate steps/solutions to caller questions/issues, using appropriate problem-solving skills and established guidelines, where available (e.g., workarounds, descriptions of relevant processes)
  • Offer additional options to provide solutions/positive outcomes for callers (e.g., online access to relevant information, additional plan benefits, workarounds for prescription delays)
  • Make outbound calls to resolve caller questions/issues (e.g., to callers, providers, brokers, pharmacies)
  • Drive resolution of caller questions/issues on the first call whenever possible (e.g., first-call resolution, one-and-done)
  • Ensure proper documentation of caller questions/issues (e.g., research conducted, steps required, final resolution)

We believe everyone–of every race, gender, sexuality, age, location, and income–deserves the opportunity to live their healthiest life. Today, however, there are still far too many barriers to good health which are disproportionately experienced by people of color, historically marginalized groups, and those with lower incomes. We are committed to mitigating our impact on the environment and enabling and delivering equitable care that addresses health disparities and improves health outcomes — an enterprise priority reflected in our mission.
