​
Compliance & Accuracy

Evaluation NameDescriptionType
Call Recording DisclosureVerifies that the agent provided the legally required disclosure that the call may be recorded for quality assurance or training purposes at the beginning of the conversation. This disclosure is mandated in many jurisdictions.Pass/Fail
CMS Medicare DisclaimerFor Medicare-related calls only, ensures the agent provided the required CMS disclaimer within the first minute of the call, stating that they do not offer every plan available in the area. This is a specific regulatory requirement for Medicare sales.Pass/Fail
Avoids Claim GuaranteesConfirms that the agent refrained from making any guarantees or promises about claim outcomes, including whether a claim would be approved or the amount that would be paid out. Agents should set realistic expectations without making commitments.Pass/Fail
FNOL Data AccuracyEvaluates the accuracy and completeness of data captured during a First Notice of Loss (FNOL) by verifying that the agent accurately captured and confirmed all critical details including date of loss, parties involved, location, and a complete description of the incident.Pass/Fail
Policy Information AccuracyMeasures the correctness of policy details communicated to the caller, ensuring that information about coverage, deductibles, limits, and other policy terms accurately reflects what is in the system and knowledge base.Pass/Fail

Conversational Quality

Evaluation NameDescriptionType
Empathetic Tone in ClaimsAssesses the agent’s ability to demonstrate empathy and provide reassurance during sensitive claim calls, particularly when the caller is describing stressful events like accidents or property damage. Higher scores indicate better emotional support and rapport building.Scored 1-5
Clarity of ExplanationEvaluates how clearly the agent explained complex insurance terms and concepts such as deductibles, coverage limits, and policy exclusions. The agent should avoid overly technical jargon and use plain language that policyholders can easily understand.Scored 1-5
First Call ResolutionDetermines whether the agent successfully completed the policyholder’s primary objective without requiring a transfer to a human representative. This includes tasks like filing claims, making payments, or updating policy information.Pass/Fail

​
5. Compliance & Regulatory Requirements

  • State-Specific Regulations: Insurance is regulated at the state level, so compliance with local laws regarding disclosures, licensing, and call recording is critical.
  • CMS Guidelines for Medicare: For agents handling Medicare Advantage or Part D, strict rules apply, including call recording and specific disclaimers.
  • PCI DSS & GLBA: These regulate the handling of payment card information and non-public personal information, respectively.
  • TCPA: Governs automated outbound calls and messages.

​
6. Key Performance Benchmarks

  • First Call Resolution (FCR): Industry standard is 70-79%.
  • Average Handle Time (AHT): Highly variable. A simple payment may be 2-3 minutes, while a complex FNOL call could be 10-15 minutes.
  • Containment Rate: A high rate (80%+) is a strong indicator of success.
