Automation Meets Member Engagement

How a Personalized Service Assistant Can Transform Your Member Support

“Press 1 for benefits. Press 2 for claims. Press 3 to scream into the void.”

They wait. And wait. Finally, they’re connected – only to be transferred again. They explain their issue for the third time, growing more frustrated with every second.

For health plans and payers, this scenario plays out thousands of times a day, creating an endless cycle of long hold times, overwhelmed support teams, and frustrated members who just need answers.

But what if there was a way to reduce administrative strain, improve response times, and deliver a seamless experience – all without adding staff?

Enter the Personalized Service Assistant.

What’s Driving the Shift Toward Automated Member Support?

Healthcare customer service is stuck in the past. Call centers operate like they did a decade ago, relying on live agents to answer every question, even the simplest ones. Meanwhile, members are used to on-demand service in every other industry.

• Most customer inquiries are routine and repetitive. Yet, they still flood call centers, eating up valuable resources.
• Average hold times for health plan members can exceed several minutes. That’s a long time to wait just to ask about a deductible.
• Administrative costs for customer service are skyrocketing. More volume means more agents, which means higher expenses.

Automation is the answer… but only if it’s done right.

Many automated assistants fail because they’re too robotic, too rigid, and too frustrating. Members don’t just want any answer. They want the right answer – delivered quickly, efficiently, and in a way that feels human.

How a Personalized Service Assistant Changes the Game

It’s not just a chatbot. It’s an AI-powered, digital-first service experience.

A Personalized Service Assistant acts as the first line of support, resolving common member questions without tying up live agents. Instead of waiting on hold, members get instant, accurate responses through text, voice, or web chat – whenever they need help.

How it works:

• Understands intent—recognizing not just what members ask, but what they need
• Provides instant responses—from claims status to deductible details, 24/7
• Reduces call center burden—freeing up agents for complex, high-value interactions
• Guides members to the next step—scheduling appointments, requesting ID cards, and more

It’s fast, efficient, and, most importantly, built for healthcare.

The Impact: What Happens When You Automate Member Support?

When health plans and TPAs introduce Personalized Service Assistants, the impact is immediate:

• Big reduction in call volume—Less hold time, less frustration.
• Lower administrative costs—Fewer routine calls mean fewer resources spent on basic inquiries.
• Happier members—Answers come fast, accurate, and hassle-free.
• Better use of human support teams—Live agents can focus on high-value cases that need real expertise.

Instead of forcing members to navigate a frustrating call center maze, a Personalized Service Assistant meets them where they are, providing real-time, digital-first support that works.
