What stands out, and what still needs checking.
Published minute packages; 24/7 availability; custom scripts; real-time routing; overflow and emergency escalation; free trial invitation; informed discussion of HIPAA claims.
Per-minute billing can become expensive with long calls; operator location, bilingual coverage, quality metrics, BAA and security controls, setup fees, contract, and service levels need confirmation.
Model call minutes and handle time, confirm operator geography, scripts and QA, holidays and overages, BAA and security controls, uptime and response SLA, escalation tests, term, and cancellation.
