๐ข New legislation could directly impact how medical practices handle patient calls.
The #๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฑ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด๐๐ฏ๐๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ช๐ค๐ข๐๐ค๐ต is a new bipartisan bill in Congress designed to keep call center jobs in the U.S for both economic and consumer protection. But for medical practices, it means much more:
โข Companies and medical practices would be required to report if call center operations move outside the United States to the Department of Labor (DOL). The DOL would maintain a publicly available list of companies that have offshored call center operations.
โข Patients will have the right to request a U.S.โbased human agent
โข Call centers must disclose whether they are offshore or using AI
โข Companies that move call center jobs overseas could lose eligibility for certain federal contracts and programs
Medical practices should start reviewing their overseas call center arrangements now. This legislation could mean adjusting contracts, retraining staff, or shifting more patient communication back onshore.
What are your thoughts on the new act?

Excerpt: The Keep Call Centers in America Act seeks to protect U.S. jobs and improve customer service by restricting federal benefits for companies that offshore call centers and requiring transparency about call center locations and AI use.
