Pros

Friendly and helpful coworkers. Great infrastructure and organization setup for planning sprints. Technology stack is setup well and uses new technologies. Specialized teams for DevOps, UX/UI, SQL management. Cross-functional teams work together well. Everyone seems happy to work here and the job is not stressful. Great work-life balance. Awesome office building: spacious, clean, modern, and fun. I work fully remote.

Some tasks require knowledge of healthcare industry standards that are extensive to learn.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a thorough and thoughtful review. It’s great to hear that you are enjoying your experience at Availity. We have worked very hard to create a space where Availity associates can shape our culture and thrive. We are fortunate to work with tremendously talented people and completely agree that building relationships with those co-workers is vital to feeling connected to the rest of the company. Your feedback is timely – after successfully navigating and thriving as a fully remote workforce, we see a future where working remotely will be the norm, and the office space will be available for collaboration. Make sure you’re using our Yammer Communities – From Gamers to Car fanatics and more – there are so many interests that we share! Thank you again for sharing your review!

Pros

Great camaraderie among first level representatives.

Cons

Management is inconsistent with procedures and rules - it was as though each supervisor had their own set of rules for their teams. Too high demand in perfect metrics right out of training - if the instructor tells trainees it will take 6 months to fully understand the job then the metric goal for trainees should reflect that instead of being near 100% across the board. Training was lackluster - despite the long training period, there was a lot of information that was not taught and instead trainees are forced to learn entirely new applications and software on the fly taking calls. Supervisors have obvious favorites, and will sometimes neglect new hires or expect more tenured representatives to provide all the resources needed to do the job.

Thank you for taking the time to write your review. While working in Availity Client Services is an excellent way to start a career in healthcare, there’s a lot to learn in the healthcare industry, and the work we do in client services is challenging. We do provide training for new associates, with follow-up training as associates grow into their roles. But we also find that getting our new representatives on the phones and talking with our customers as quickly as possible is the best way to put that training to work and learn about our business. We track the performance of our ACS associates and strive to achieve specific goals; however, providing quality customer service remains our priority. Tracking allows us to measure performance and identify areas where associates can improve. It also identifies areas where we can improve our training. Training is a moving target that we are constantly working to improve. As our products, tools, and customers evolve, so does our training. Lastly, favoritism is not a behavior we encourage at Availity. We do recognize and look to associates for their strengths, and not every associate shares the same strengths—that’s part of the diversity that makes us a great place to work. But overlooking associates for their lack of experience is not acceptable, and we are sorry if that was your experience during your time with us. We will share your feedback with our Client Services leadership to keep this in mind in their future staff interactions. We appreciate the feedback and continue to make adjustments to our onboarding, ongoing training, and metric goals. We are committed to fostering a flexible environment for our associates to thrive, while striving to be the best in class. Thank you for helping us improve. We wish you all the best.

Thanks for taking a moment to write your review. We agree, being an Availity Client Services Associate is a great way to learn about the healthcare system. We’re very proud of our ACS team, who work directly with providers throughout the country to improve healthcare. We operate in a highly complex segment of healthcare, and we recognize the challenges of learning our systems and tools. While this might not have been the right role for you, many of our ACS associates have gone on to have long, successful careers here at Availity. Finally, we know that customers who call into our call center are doing so because they need assistance, and they might be frustrated or agitated, so some calls might be more heated than others. That’s why we train associates to handle/diffuse such situations, and many of our associates do this so well. Once again, thank you for providing a review. We wish you all the best in your career.
