OpenContactRoute

Guided Contact Routing for Health Plans

Health plans serve members, providers, employers, brokers, and vendors — each needing different support. OpenContactRoute replaces confusing static contact pages with a guided 3-step experience that gets every user to the right channel, every time.

OpenContactRoute guided pathways

Static contact pages don't work

Most health plan websites present long lists of phone numbers with no context — leaving users confused, calls misrouted, and staff fielding calls they shouldn't be answering.

Misrouted Calls

Users pick the wrong number, get transferred multiple times, and abandon the interaction frustrated. Every misrouted call costs the health plan time and money.

No Context

A long list of numbers provides no guidance on who should call which number, what IVR steps to follow, or whether a portal or email is a better option.

Stale Information

Operational changes — new numbers, updated IVR flows, delegated vendors — are slow to reach static pages. OpenContactRoute gives administrators live control.

Three steps to the right contact

Users answer three simple prompts. No searching, no confusion — just the correct contact pathway.

OpenContactRoute audience selection step

Who are you?

The widget presents the audience types configured for the health plan — Member, Provider, Employer, Broker, Vendor, or any custom type. The user selects who they are in one click.

OpenContactRoute plan selection step

Which plan, and what do you need?

The widget filters to plans and topics that have a published pathway for the selected audience. Only relevant options are shown — no dead ends.

OpenContactRoute contact result

The right contact, immediately

The pathway is displayed with everything the user needs: department name, phone number with click-to-call, IVR navigation steps, portal links, email, and operational notes.

  • Click-to-call on mobile
  • Step-by-step IVR instructions
  • Portal links and email as alternatives
  • Delegated vendor support

Full control, no engineering required

A clean web admin interface lets your operational team manage every pathway — no code changes, no deployments.

Pathway Management

Create, edit, publish, and unpublish contact pathways. Draft pathways are never visible to end users until explicitly published.

Utilization Reporting

See which pathways are accessed most, track trends over time, and identify which audiences, plans, and topics are driving the most traffic.

Content Audit

Identify stale or missing pathways with the pathway coverage report. Know exactly which audience + plan + topic combinations are configured and which are gaps.

Audit Log

Every create, update, and delete action is recorded automatically — who changed what and when — giving you a complete operational history.
