Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We previously used ShoreTel/MiTel and had no particular issues with the contact center functionality, but we consistently needed to make changes on the fly, and their platform did not give administrators the ability to do so. We had to place a case every time. With 8x8, I can make changes whenever I need to, which has been a complete game-changer for our practice.

Pros

  • Admin console.
  • Retrieval of call recordings for review.
  • Analytics

Cons

  • Call tracing to see the lifecycle of a call.
  • Better support for account administration/contract renewal.

Return on Investment

  • 8x8 has enabled our practice to easily integrate newly acquired medical practices and maintain seamless communication.
  • 8x8 has provided us with clear analytics to track volumes and call handling among our individual departments.
  • We have implemented a quarterly bonus structure for our agents based primarily on 8x8's reporting features that help improve call handling.

Strong Support Tool for Billing Department

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am able to log onto my work computer in the mornings, address any voicemails that were left during down time. I use for outgoing calls to insurance companies and it will notify me of incoming phone calls that I can take in order to answer any billing questions our customers have. Everything is in one place and therefore it makes it easier to switch between talking to someone and chatting via messaging if a co-worker at a different location is able to assist me in helping one of our patients.

Pros

  • It's really good for transferring calls within our office
  • It identifies the number of calls on hold in case someone needs to step in and help take calls
  • You can record phone conversations so that if you forget something you went over with a patient you can go back and listen to the original conversation
  • The system keeps me organized and everything is within one place

Cons

  • sometimes the alrets for voicmails or that I have a new chat message aren't noticiable; I wish you could choose a separate sound for notification.
  • In our billing department we have payment plans, disputes, and refunds we deal with and I wish there was some color coding or visual way to identify each.
  • all the buttons can be intimidating, a more basic view would be more beneficial

Return on Investment

  • Insurance follow-up is huge in prosthetic billing. If you don’t stay on top of claims, they just sit there. With better call tracking and reporting. As a managers, I can actually see how many outbound follow-up calls are happening
  • Because calls can be recorded and performance analytics are visible, reps tend to stay more consistent and professional
  • In our billing office, reimbursements are already so slow and that even small efficiency gains matter. Overall, I’d say the return has been positive because it directly supports better cash flow and stronger patient relationships which is the upmost imporatnce to our practice
