What is CMS Call Center Monitoring?

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.
