From February until June, The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services place test calls to audit health plan call centers. These calls ensure that Medicare Advantage (MA) and Medicare Prescription Drug plans (part C and D) offer clear communication quickly and accurately to their beneficiaries.
There are two parts to CMS’ Call Center Monitoring initiative. First is the Timeliness Study, which focuses on average hold times and disconnect rates. The second part is where LSA plays a vital role – the Accuracy & Accessibility Study. This measures interpreter availability for Limited English Proficient (LEP) callers, teletypewriter (TTY) efficiency, and the accuracy with which customer service representatives (CSEs) convey plan information to their LEP consumers.
Our staff is constantly monitoring, growing, planning, and keeping up to date with any changes or updates to CMS star rating protocols year-round.
Our professional linguists, who’ve completed rigorous assessments, are prepped and provided with additional resources for CMS testing season.
LSA's careful coordination, open communication, and experience are key factors in helping you excel during the CMS Monitoring season.
Our clients are provided with a dedicated toll-free number (TFN) that provides access to only those languages being tested for CMS. This gives customer service representatives fast access to the languages and interpreters they need, eliminating time spent navigating the full list of available services.
