How to Recognize Hidden Compliance Landmines in Your Contact Center
Your accounts receivable and revenue cycle management teams work hard to prepare for the challenges their contact centers face every day. However, some of the more substantial risks have hidden dangers underneath them. These are landmines, and merely stepping on one could result in a cataclysmic disaster for your organization.
For example, you may feel like your agents are well-trained in their communication skills with consumers. Yet, we live in an environment where that’s not enough, and compliance traps are everywhere. Here are some dangers to consider:
Contact centers are a lawsuit target
Lawsuit traps and the "serial litigator"
Some compliance laws leave room for interpretation
How does your contact center define “a threat,” “misleading,” or “automatic telephone dialing system”? One reason to make sure your script and communication processes are fully optimized is the issue of interpretation. Once you go to court over the question of “misleading” language, it’s your word against the consumer.
