Record your calls

You must comply with CMS’ rule requiring agents to record telephonic conversations with beneficiaries (new and existing clients) starting Oct 1, 2023.

What calls do I need to Record?

CMS requires you to provide recordings of any inbound or outbound phone or video call conversations with beneficiaries that discuss:

Individual plan recommendations for the client (sales appointments)
Completion of an enrollment application with the client
Over the phone Scopes of appointment

Recordings of these calls will need to be provided to the carrier in the event of a CMS audit due to a customer complaint.

As of October, 2023 - Call recording requirements are limited to the marketing, sales and enrollment calls; you are on not required to record appointment scheduling, invites to an event, or follow up calls to ensure client received ID cards.

Spark Call Recording Feature

How it works

Whether it’s an inbound or an outbound call, you will receive a Spark business phone number with the Call Recording feature. The first 150 hours are free of charge and then you will be billed $.02 per minute. It works as a triangular phone system:

You call agents within the platform from their profile
The system calls you from your Spark business phone number and you answer the call
The system then calls your contact and connects and records the call

Contacts call your Spark business phone number
The call forwards to your device and records the call after you’ve answered it

💡

Please Note: If an agent is calling you, upon answering it, you’ll be notified with the voice message “this call will be recorded”. This will help ensure that you are aware that an agent is calling your Spark business phone number.

1. Getting started:

Confirm your number under Agent Details and enable the feature under Communication Preferences in the Settings tab.

💡

Reminders: - Agents and contacts should save this number in their devices to avoid calls being marked as spam in the future. - At this time, if you enable call recording and then disable it your number will be lost. So, if you wanted to enable the feature again in the future, you will be given a different number. - Agents are unable to change the number given to them. The features tries its best to have a similar area code based on the location of the agent.

2. Making Calls

Outbound and Inbound Calls

💡

Reminders: - For the call to be recorded and added to the platform, you must make the call directly from the platform. - Inbound calls must dial your specific Spark business phone number, which can be found under Preferences in My account after you’ve enabled the feature. - You can also make these calls from Spark Mobile.

Other Options

We have selected the other choices below based on price and feature quality.

We recommend the options below as they do not require:

(a) calling into another line
(b) the client to hear an automated recording at the start of the call
(c) being on the software platform when you receive a call. The solutions outlined below seamlessly support inbound and outbound calls with a click of a button.
(d) you are required to record all calls with beneficiaries, including all calls before and after an enrollment. If a client calls your cell phone or you cannot access your quote & enroll tool, then you will be unable to record the call.
