Primary Responsibilities

• Take chat messages per day from customers who have questions about their health benefits
• Support secure email inquiries
• Use personality and our tools to help customers through the health care benefits available to them
• Communicate online in a conversational manner that promotes dialogue and establishes rapport. Associate must avoid poor grammar, misstatements, or lengthy explanation.

• Provide product information, use service engagement skills, and efficiently use service resources
• Technology comfort and know-how: Associate must be adept at using the Associate Workspace, other technology, and automation tools
• App, Website, and SMS savvy: Consumers who accept an engagement will have high expectations of the associate's knowledge. Associate will need to maintain a high level of familiarity with the digital property the consumer is using

Unlike other forms of communication, messaging grants both you and the consumer time flexibility, and keeps you connected even after the immediate question has been answered. The result is a superior customer service experience for the consumer, and a superior professional experience for you - where you can personalize your interactions and have a meaningful impact on our business
