1
00:00:00.268 --> 00:00:02.851
(pensive music)

2
00:00:04.410 --> 00:00:06.753
<v ->We always want to look forward.</v>

3
00:00:08.730 --> 00:00:12.203
I just constantly look at what can we do to improve things.

4
00:00:13.580 --> 00:00:15.830
Both of my parents are members...

5
00:00:15.830 --> 00:00:18.380
You want to make sure that they're taken care of.

6
00:00:20.580 --> 00:00:21.413
We're the experts.

7
00:00:21.413 --> 00:00:24.790
We're the ones who know how our programs work

8
00:00:24.790 --> 00:00:26.340
all the ins and outs.

9
00:00:26.340 --> 00:00:30.320
So it's up to us to really communicate with the members:

10
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:32.560
How can we be better?

11
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:35.010
How can we be more efficient

12
00:00:35.010 --> 00:00:37.908
and still be extremely customer focused?

13
00:00:37.908 --> 00:00:40.491
(upbeat music)

14
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:46.460
We do a call review meeting

15
00:00:46.460 --> 00:00:49.810
and on the screen the actual recording of the call.

16
00:00:49.810 --> 00:00:51.070
<v Voiceover>We'll make sure we get the refills.</v>

17
00:00:51.070 --> 00:00:51.903
Are you doing better-

18
00:00:51.903 --> 00:00:54.780
<v ->We had an advocate, speak to a customer,</v>

19
00:00:54.780 --> 00:00:56.770
offer them, let me fill this prescription.

20
00:00:56.770 --> 00:00:58.360
But they had a prescription

21
00:00:58.360 --> 00:01:00.490
that was coming up in a couple of days

22
00:01:00.490 --> 00:01:01.323
and I questioned, well

23
00:01:01.323 --> 00:01:03.970
why aren't we filling both prescriptions,

24
00:01:03.970 --> 00:01:06.920
check if the member has enough prescriptions

25
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:08.940
to last from today's order,

26
00:01:08.940 --> 00:01:10.680
if we delay it by two, three days.

27
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:12.930
Can we just send both orders together,

28
00:01:12.930 --> 00:01:16.960
because now we're saving on a second call by the member

29
00:01:16.960 --> 00:01:19.470
so that's a better member experience.

30
00:01:19.470 --> 00:01:22.980
It also saves us on packaging, shipping, everything

31
00:01:22.980 --> 00:01:24.800
because now it's all combined in one order.

32
00:01:24.800 --> 00:01:29.210
If done properly, this will cascade over and over and over.

33
00:01:29.210 --> 00:01:32.600
So 90 days from now, the refill date are aligned

34
00:01:32.600 --> 00:01:34.620
for that prescription going forward.

35
00:01:34.620 --> 00:01:37.476
They just have to call us once instead of twice.

36
00:01:37.476 --> 00:01:40.059
(inspiring music)

37
00:01:56.460 --> 00:01:58.890
It's great for the member and great for our advocates.

38
00:01:58.890 --> 00:02:01.580
The customers were really happy about it

39
00:02:01.580 --> 00:02:05.250
and the net promoter scores for those advocates

40
00:02:05.250 --> 00:02:06.490
actually increased.

41
00:02:06.490 --> 00:02:09.243
So of course they're happier or advocates are happier.

42
00:02:10.284 --> 00:02:12.867
(upbeat music)

43
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:18.843
What gets measured, gets done.

44
00:02:19.900 --> 00:02:22.090
Data drives outcomes.

45
00:02:22.090 --> 00:02:26.090
If you get the data, we can never be stuck at looking,

46
00:02:26.090 --> 00:02:28.630
Oh, well, this is the way we've done it for years.

47
00:02:28.630 --> 00:02:30.710
Because if you are in that mindset

48
00:02:30.710 --> 00:02:33.080
you're never going to move forward.

49
00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:37.460
The truth is, it really is life or death situations.

50
00:02:37.460 --> 00:02:40.970
If you don't get your medications, that's life or death.

51
00:02:40.970 --> 00:02:42.870
That kind of stuff's really important.

52
00:02:44.270 --> 00:02:49.250
Less calls, better calls, happier customers.

53
00:02:49.250 --> 00:02:50.570
If there's something you feel

54
00:02:50.570 --> 00:02:53.700
like you need to be able to do for a customer...

55
00:02:53.700 --> 00:02:56.680
Take care of the customer. Do what's right.

56
00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:57.856
Let's make it happen.

57
00:02:57.856 --> 00:03:00.106
(laughing)

At OptumRx, ensuring that the consumer receives the right medication at the right time is our highest priority. Nothing demonstrates this dedication and customer-centric viewpoint more than the work of our customer service professionals.

In this video, we see how the initiative of one OptumRx employee to simplify the experience of consumers receiving multiple prescriptions through the mail ended up making the system work better for everyone. By synchronizing shipping and renewal dates, Anthony Gutierrez was able to reduce consumer effort while simultaneously helping lower costs for payors.
