"By winning this award, UPMC Health Plan truly qualifies as the 'best of the best and is a shining example for the call center industry.'" 

ICMI evaluated UPMC Health Plan on a number of criteria, including effectively meeting the unique requirements of the needs of its members; the use of marketing, sales, and technology to bolster success; and the use of technology to enhance the experience for agents and customers.

"We are honored to win the 'Team Award for Best Customer Experience Program' from ICMI because satisfying our members' needs and expectations is what we strive to do every day," said Mary Beth Jenkins, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for UPMC Health Plan.
