“Load the billing information on the website such as the premium billed, payment posted date payment post, as well as, plan options if there are rate increases.”

“The benefit packet should be sent together with the ID card, not 60 days from the effective date. It's the member's right to know what their benefits are at the start of their coverage.”

“Regular updates and skill check to make sure that phone reps are always aware of the new policies in their respective departments.”
