  11. © FIRSTSOURCE | CONFIDENTIAL I 9 December 2022 | 11 Call Track Volume Reduction Business Case & Problem Statement Call track volume has been around 2% and 45% of those are not adjusted today. Call track volume for the last 3 months are trending as follows. TX, OH and NY states contribute to 80% of the call tracks created. Around 70% of call tracks are from provider phone calls. Goal Statement • Reduce the not adjusted call tracks by 25% by end of Mar 2023 Project Benefit • Timely resolution of Member concern/First call resolution • Potential reduction in call volume • Cost reduction to Molina, approx. 10% Month Total Invoiced Adjusted % Adjusted Not adjusted % Not Adjusted Aug’22 12282 6761 55% 5521 45% Sep’22 10749 5933 55% 4816 45% Oct’22 12945 7282 56% 5663 44% It is important to identify the reasons for call tracks that are not adjusted in collaboration with the contact center team that creates these call tracks. Claims team spends good amount of time in reviewing these claims that do not get adjusted. This not only leads to delay in response to the customer but also impacts the customer satisfaction negatively.
