- Bonus disqualifiers: inaccurate documentation, skipped verification steps, or policy violations

Incentives

- Monthly incentive payouts are calculated based on a composite performance score across all tracked workstreams
- Tracked metrics include: records review accuracy, refill processing rate, Rx resolution TAT, scheduling conversion, call quality score, and TCM/care management task completion rate
- Agents must meet minimum threshold scores in all tracked categories to qualify for the monthly incentive payout — partial thresholds do not qualify
- HIPAA compliance, script adherence, and documentation completeness are mandatory baseline requirements — violations in these areas result in full incentive disqualification for that month
