The Real Cost of "Business as Usual"

The enrollment season is over, but your work is just beginning. As your customer service teams handle the influx of new members in the new year, you're juggling multiple priorities: maintaining high service levels, ensuring quality interactions, and driving member retention. While your sales teams have done their part, the pressure now falls on service to deliver an exceptional member experience.

When you're operating at peak capacity with full staffing levels, it's easy to slip into survival mode. In these intense periods, inefficiencies often go unnoticed, but their impact is significant. Consider this:

  • A single representative at $21 per hour (fully loaded cost) equals 35 cents per minute

  • 40-60% of all calls are benefit-related

  • Minutes lost to document searches, system navigation, and escalations multiply across thousands of calls

  • The cumulative effect impacts key metrics: CSAT, NPS, and First Call Resolution

The ServiceSense Difference

Imagine transforming these challenges into opportunities:

  • Reducing handle time by 2-3 minutes per call while improving accuracy

  • Empowering representatives to handle each interaction with confidence

  • Clearing queues faster while elevating service quality

  • Achieving ROI through AHT savings alone

This isn't just wishful thinking; it's what Sensentia's ServiceSense delivers.

Powered by Advanced AI

ServiceSense's AI-driven Benefit Engine delivers instant, accurate answers to any plan, benefit, coverage, or cost question your team encounters. With comprehensive support for J-Code and HCPCS that meets legal-grade accuracy standards, the system seamlessly translates between common language and clinical or claims terminology. Best of all, it integrates with your existing systems, requiring minimal change management and allowing your team to adapt quickly.

Empowering Your Team

With ServiceSense, your representatives can access comprehensive information without the frustration of juggling multiple documents or navigating complex systems. They're able to provide confident, accurate responses immediately, which means they can focus on what really matters (member engagement rather than information hunting). The result? Inquiries are resolved faster and more effectively, leading to better outcomes for everyone involved.

Measurable Impact

Our solution delivers tangible results you can track. You'll see reduced Average Handle Time (AHT) as your team works more efficiently, along with improved First Call Resolution rates that keep members satisfied. Higher CSAT and NPS scores reflect the quality of service your team provides, while enhanced employee satisfaction and retention show that your reps feel more confident and capable in their roles. All of this translates to significant cost savings through improved efficiency across your entire operation.

Beyond Efficiency: A Better Experience for Everyone

When representatives have the right tools, everyone benefits. Members receive faster, more accurate service that builds trust and loyalty. Providers get immediate, confident answers that strengthen your partnerships. Your teams experience less stress and higher job satisfaction because they're empowered rather than overwhelmed. Supervisors spend less time on escalations and can focus on coaching and development. And ultimately, your organization saves millions in handling costs while delivering superior service.
