Your HIPAA-trained support agent works under a BAA in your hours from your scheduling, EVV and dispatch systems, answering with templates you approve and logging every request as a ticket with a category and a resolution. Care concerns, incidents and complaints about a caregiver are escalated to your RN supervisor or agency manager with the history gathered, never answered by the desk. Billing questions are answered from the ledger and corrections routed to your billing team. Caregiver app and EVV clock-in issues are walked through step by step so visits verify. Broker trip disputes are answered with the trip log and GPS record. The team lead scores tickets monthly, and the weekly report shows volume by category and requester type so you can see what is generating calls. Plain definition ## What is customer support outsourcing? Customer support outsourcing is contracting an outside provider to staff your customer service: answering tickets, chats, emails and calls, resolving common problems, and escalating the rest to your internal team. At AssistBPO the agents are dedicated employees who work only your queue, in your tools and your hours, managed by a team lead who reports to you. ## What tasks does customer support cover for home care and NEMT agencies? - Answer family schedule, invoice and document questions by email, text and portal - Walk caregivers through app, EVV clock-in and timesheet issues - Give members and facilities trip status and confirmations - Answer broker trip disputes with the trip log and GPS record - Escalate care concerns, incidents and caregiver complaints to the RN or manager - Route billing corrections to your billing team with the ticket history - Log every request as a ticket with category, requester and resolution - Report volume by category and time to first response weekly ## The KPI that matters here Time to first response on family and caregiver requests and the share of tickets resolved without escalation. Both are split by requester type each week. ## What rules does customer support follow for home care & NEMT? 1. **HIPAA and the BAA.** Client and member information is protected health information. Every engagement runs under a business associate agreement, staff are HIPAA-trained before they see a care plan or a trip, access is minimum necessary, and breach notification follows the HHS Office for Civil Rights rules. 2. **EVV under the 21st Century Cures Act.** Medicaid-funded personal care and home health visits must be verified electronically under the Cures Act, enforced by CMS through each state's aggregator. Assistants work exceptions in your EVV system daily so visits are complete, verified and billable, and never alter a caregiver's recorded times without a documented reason and your approval. 3. **No clinical decisions.** Assistants schedule, coordinate and relay. Changes to a care plan, a client's condition, a fall, a medication question or anything clinical goes to your RN supervisor or on-call nurse by the protocol your clinical lead signs, in line with state home care licensing rules. 4. **TCPA for shift and trip messages.** Shift offers, schedule confirmations and trip reminders go by text and call only with consent from caregivers, clients and members, inside calling hours, with opt-out wording, under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act enforced by the FCC. ## Home care & NEMT software we work in - [AxisCare](https://assistbpo.com/software/axiscare/) - [RingCentral](https://assistbpo.com/software/ringcentral/) - [QuickBooks Online](https://assistbpo.com/software/quickbooks-online/) - [Google Workspace](https://assistbpo.com/software/google-workspace/) Also in use - WellSky Personal Care - AlayaCare - RouteGenie - Broker portals (ModivCare, MTM) [See all 80 tools we work in](https://assistbpo.com/software/) ## More for home care and NEMT agencies Other services for home care & NEMT - [Email management](https://assistbpo.com/industries/home-care-nemt/email-management/) - [Calendar management](https://assistbpo.com/industries/home-care-nemt/calendar-management/) - [Data entry](https://assistbpo.com/industries/home-care-nemt/data-entry/) - [Appointment setting](https://assistbpo.com/industries/home-care-nemt/appointment-setting/) - [CRM management](https://assistbpo.com/industries/home-care-nemt/crm-management/) - [Social media assistant](https://assistbpo.com/industries/home-care-nemt/social-media-virtual-assistant/) - [The home care & NEMT pod](https://assistbpo.com/industries/home-care-nemt/) Customer support in other industries - [Trades & home services](https://assistbpo.com/industries/trades-home-services/customer-support-outsourcing/) - [Transportation & logistics](https://assistbpo.com/industries/transportation-logistics/customer-support-outsourcing/) - [Hospitality, restaurants & travel](https://assistbpo.com/industries/hospitality/customer-support-outsourcing/) - [Insurance agencies](https://assistbpo.com/industries/insurance/customer-support-outsourcing/) - [The full customer support page](https://assistbpo.com/services/customer-support-outsourcing/) ## Frequently asked questions ### Can the desk support caregivers as well as clients? Yes, and for most agencies caregivers generate more tickets than families. The desk handles app logins, EVV clock-in problems, schedule questions, timesheet corrections routed to payroll, document uploads for credentials, and mileage questions. HR matters such as pay disputes, disciplinary issues or complaints about a client are routed to your manager. Every interaction is logged on the caregiver record so patterns are visible. ### How do you handle a complaint about a caregiver? It is logged as an incident ticket with the family's account recorded word for word, acknowledged with your template, and escalated to your RN supervisor or agency manager within your target, with the schedule, visit records and any previous notes attached. The desk does not investigate, comment or promise an outcome. Your state's incident reporting rules are noted on the ticket so the manager can meet any deadline. ### Can the desk respond to broker disputes? Yes. When a broker questions a trip, the desk pulls the trip record, pickup and drop-off times, GPS log and signature from your dispatch system and answers through the broker portal or email with the evidence attached, inside the broker's dispute window. Disputes that involve a member complaint or an accident are escalated to your operations manager. TransportBPO can support this for larger fleets. Next step ## Your desk, staffed. Wherever you are.
