Working closely with the Quality Assurance Supervisor, this role is responsible for ensuring that agent-member interactions, program documentation and processes, meet client requirements and compliance standards with respect to applicable regulations (e.g. HIPAA, CMS). By evaluating performance against program requirements and compliance standards, this position plays a critical role in identifying initiatives related to automation, coaching, auditing, data reporting and training.
More specifically, you will monitor agent/customer interactions, conduct audits, and participate in continuous improvement initiatives to meet or exceed client contractual quality commitments and enhance customer satisfaction. In this role, you will collaborate with team members across the organization to uphold high performance standards and implement innovative quality solutions.
Essential Job Functions:
• Call Monitoring & Evaluation: Monitor and evaluate inbound and outbound calls to assess compliance, service quality, accuracy, and adherence to scripts and policies. Use standard scorecards to rate communication skills, compliance, and resolution effectiveness for each interaction.
• Compliance Audits: Conduct regular QA audits of customer service interactions, documents, and processes to ensure adherence to health insurance regulations and client requirements (e.g. verify HIPAA privacy compliance, Medicare/CMS guidelines).
• Feedback & Coaching: Identify constructive feedback and coaching opportunities for call center agents focused on improving customer service skills and compliance. Partner with relevant internal stakeholders to develop refresher training or new learning modules for recurring issues.

Prepare and present detailed quality reports for Supervisors, highlighting performance against KPIs and recommending actions. Ensure all reporting is timely, accurate, and aligned with client SLAs.
• Customer Service & Continuous Improvement: Champion a customer-centric approach in quality programs, ensuring that QA standards align with exceptional customer service and positive member experiences. Promote a culture of continuous improvement and innovation, introducing initiatives (e.g. process automation, updated QA scorecards, new monitoring techniques) that elevate quality and efficiency.
• Contractual & SLA Adherence: Maintain QA schedules (e.g. call sampling rates) and partner with applicable stakeholders to ensure quality targets are met or exceeded.
• Regulatory Compliance Assurance: Stay up-to-date on all relevant health insurance industry regulations and client compliance standards. Ensure quality processes and agent evaluations incorporate checks for regulatory requirements (e.g. proper call disclosures, data privacy and security protocols, documentation accuracy). Conduct focused compliance monitoring (such as verifying HIPAA procedures on calls) and support any external audits or quality assessments by providing necessary documentation and reports.
