USCB Leverages Five9 Technology for Collection Operations

Five9, Inc., a leader in on-demand call centers, announced that medical and financial receivables company, USCB Inc., implemented the Five9 Virtual Call Center to provide patient credit services for premier hospitals throughout California. In business since 1915, USCB is responsible for patient billing, revenue recovery, and customer service to some of the region’s largest hospitals.

As a long-time Five9 customer, USCB uses the application to execute inbound and outbound campaigns as needed. "Flexibility is key," said IT Manager, Pedro Guijarro. "At any given time, we run multiple campaigns in several departments. Patients contact our call centers for account inquiries and invoice questions. We broadcast payment alerts and account status. Five9 is very effective and reliable for our operations. With management reporting tools, we measure our productivity each day. By analyzing call volume data, we re-direct agent queues to follow-up on the most critical collections. Delivering positive cash flow early in the account cycle impacts our clients’ bottom-lines."

According to Five9′s Chief Technical Officer, Jim Dvorkin, "Our solutions are used in the critical processes of collections and revenue recovery as well as patient inquiry, self-service, and invoice alerts. Through the years, USCB has fine-tuned its use to design and execute campaigns at a moment’s notice. Our easy-to-use, easy-to-manage system makes campaign operations productive and profitable."

"We look forward to continuing our partnership with Five9. With each campaign, we find more ways to serve our hospital accounts to advance their patient contact and payment goals, said USCB’s Pedro Guijarro. Our business depends on effective tools in our call centers. We provide the highest level of medical and financial receivable services to our clients."
