It’s another busy day at your health care office. The phone is ringing, every minute it seems, but your highly trained staff are unable to sufficiently manage the calls flooding in. Patients are walking in needing varying levels of medical attention. This means that to assist everyone, as they need to be, all hands on deck are needed. The fact is, the phone line is the only lifeline some clients have to reach out to get what they need. Unanswered calls ultimately mean a loss of potential clients and opportunities. Plus, those unanswered calls aren’t helping with your customer service ratings. Isn’t it about time you considered outsourcing to a healthcare contact center?
What Services Do Healthcare Call Centers Provide?
As the name suggests, a healthcare contact center is geared at giving your business the support required for success. Such a call center provides the essential services to ensure the smooth flow of your office duties and the influx of patients. To achieve this, healthcare contact centers provide:
- Patient Support
Your selected B2B Healthcare call center can provide the assistance and moral support patients may require before or after their visit to your establishment. These call operators can provide directions, information about various procedures and other relevant information requested.
- Patient Registration And Scheduling
Perhaps your institution offers a specialized service which attracts a daily influx of clients. Your selected healthcare call center operators can easily assist in registering new clients, updating the information of existing clients, and scheduling appointments directly to your business’ calendar.
- Billing And Collections
Maintaining up to date records can be a challenge when your healthcare facility caters to a large volume of clients daily. It’s easy for a client to not receive the relevant billing information or for your organization to not be compensated for work done. Billing and collections could also be tasks given to your B2B healthcare call center operatives to ensure your facility is compensated for the services provided.
- Customer Service Monitoring
Customer reviews have quite an impact when clients are searching for an institution that can cater to their medical needs. Your B2B healthcare contact center can easily conduct the surveys and review the data submitted to provide useful feedback. This feedback can be used to consider improvements that can be made to improve your clients’ experience at your health facility.

- Perform the collections for your healthcare institution’s revenue cycle by performing tasks such as third party follow-up, claim submissions, charge capture and coding.
Additionally, your B2B healthcare call center can assist with multichannel customer engagement. Customers utilize a variety of platforms to actively engage with healthcare providers. 87% of customers use their emails at least once a day, 51% actively engage via texts, and 63% use Facebook weekly. Therefore, it is important that your institution is available for interfacing via multi-channels such as mobile, social media, and desktop.
With the help of your B2B healthcare call center your institution will benefit further from:
