During the Medicare AEP, millions of beneficiaries either review their plans or make changes, putting significant pressure on call centers. Maintaining high connectivity rates, adhering to compliance guidelines, and providing quick responses are key to success. With over 18% of the U.S. population dependent on Medicare, it’s vital to have a strong strategy in place to capture leads, answer questions, and convert opportunities.

Challenges Faced by Call centres During AEP

Handling such a vast volume of calls, combined with the complexity of Medicare's various plans (Parts A, B, C, and D), can lead to several issues:

1. Blocked Calls & Low Answer Rates: A higher call volume during AEP can overwhelm traditional systems, leading to blocked or dropped calls.

2. Compliance Concerns: Ensuring adherence to Medicare’s strict regulations is crucial. Any non-compliance could lead to penalties and fines.

3. Agent Idle Time: Underperforming CLI numbers (Calling Line Identification) can result in long waiting times, causing agent productivity to drop.

Fortunately, Primo Dialler's Connect CLI provides a powerful solution.
