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
Likelihood to Recommend
We spend a lot of time calling insurance companies to check claim status, verify benefits, or fix denials. 8x8 is great for handling high call volume days when our team is making and receiving a ton of those calls. The call routing makes sure insurance calls go to our billing reps and patient calls go to the right team, so things don’t get mixed up. If we’re doing a compliance review or responding to an insurance dispute and need a specific recorded call from months ago, it can take some digging to find it unless we have exact details. It’s not impossible, just not super quick
