  1. The agent should reach out to a supervisor for guidance on how to resolve the issue.
    1. For a claims related issue, the agent should warm transfer to a Customer Service Agent, advise of the request to speak to a Supervisor, and document the occurrence in the Communication History Log.
  2. If the agent is not able to de-escalate the issue, a Supervisor will take over the call.
  3. If a Supervisor is not available, the agent will enter a Supervisor Call Back Follow Up Request in QuickBase and advise of the 48-hour turnaround time.
    1. BPO agents will email their supervisors.
  4. If the Supervisor is unable to bring the call to a resolution, they should see assistance from TS&R Leadership via phone, chat, or email.
