About Us.

We’ll be starting a new group of Customer Service Agents on Monday, October 28th, and our schedule is hybrid, with associates in our freshly renovated office Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and remote Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. During the first 6 weeks, new Customer Service Agents attend full time, paid training from 9 am to 5:30 pm Monday through Thursday, and 9 am to 5 pm Friday. Training is also hybrid. Following the training program, the regular schedule begins, which is 10:30 to 6:30 Monday through Thursday, and 9 – 5 on Friday.

In addition to having call center experience, we’re excited to hire individuals who have some dental insurance experience too.
What You’ll be Doing.
Each day, you’ll be taking approximately 100 inbound calls from our members/subscribers, dental providers and others and responding to their question related to benefit coverage and claims questions. You’ll wear a headset, and calls will come into your headset directly from our Automatic Call Distributor (ACD). You’ll be responsible for handling each call with the utmost professionalism, care, and your ability to resolve the concerns of the callers you’re working with. We’ll schedule your lunch and breaks based on our forecasted call volume, and expect you to adhere to the schedule so we can respond promptly to our customers and minimize how long they’re waiting to connect with us.
