Customer Service Week is an international celebration of the importance of customer service and of the people who serve and support customers on a daily basis. In 1992 the U.S. Congress proclaimed Customer Service Week a nationally recognized event, celebrated annually during the first full week in October.
Kimberly Conner, Executive Senior Vice President of Human Resources, and her team lead the annual celebration at Automated Health Systems. “At AHS, customer service is at the core of everything we do. Regardless if we are speaking with customers, clients, or even each other, we provide the same level of high quality service to everyone.”
This year, the theme for Customer Service Week is “Exceeding Expectations Every Day.” According to Ms. Conner, “People remember a good customer service experience. Our number one goal is to exceed our customer’s expectation of service letting them know that we truly care about them and their needs.”
This year, Customer Service Week runs from October 1st through the 5th. Ms. Conner concluded, “We deeply appreciate the hard work and dedication of our employees. Customer Service Week is our chance to recognize the good work they do throughout the year.”

Happy 20th Anniversary AHS and the State of Ohio!
AHS has completed another outstanding contractual year with the State of Ohio on June 30, 2018. We now are starting our 21st year with the Ohio Department of Medicaid. This longstanding tenure is a mark of our commitment to providing our clients with a true partnership that continues to meet their evolving needs, provide service to some of the State’s most vulnerable citizens, and furnish flexible, responsive programming in a fluid regulatory environment. We thank the State for their vision, collaboration and communication. Most importantly, as we look back on the components of our service that have contributed to our success, we look forward to bringing them into the future in new and exciting ways.
Fiscal year 2017-2018 was another successful one for our Ohio contract! We operate the Ohio Medicaid Hotline, which is a one-stop-shop for consumers. We handle calls concerning all Medicaid Programs in Ohio, enrollments into Managed Care Plans and MyCare Ohio Plans, Medicaid Buy in with workers disabilities, Qualified Income Trust, Foster and Adoption kids, Billing and Direct Reimbursement inquires to name a few. We launched several successful enhancements to the Ohio Medicaid Hotline during the previous year, and are excited to see what 2018-2019 brings… stay tuned, and many thanks to Ohio Department of Medicaid for their years of collaboration and partnership!

AHS commends the State of Ohio on the successful transition to a 1634 State. The State continues to work tirelessly to simplify eligibility determination and the move to this new model, authorized in Section 1634 of the Social Security Act, allows for a single determination to be used for Medicaid and SSI. AHS has partnered with Ohio to transition participating individuals to the new delivery system with sensitive outreach and support to one of the State’s most vulnerable populations. With this initial population successfully transitioned, Ohio can now realize the benefits of simplified determination.
AHS is proud of have supported our Ohio client in their move to a “Day 1” enrollment process where consumers are enrolled in a health plan at the time of Medicaid eligibility determination. The move is significant as it eliminates the gap consumers spend in fee-for-service, and will result in more streamlined and coordinated care from Day 1 of their Medicaid eligibility. This process involved months of coordination with our client and involved stakeholders, and we are proud of be part of a team that continuously strives for innovation and effective delivery.
AHS is pleased to be the successful awardee of the Ohio Medicaid Hotline contract that extends our partnership with the State for an additional six years. For nearly 20 years, we have been proud to partner with the State and implement sensitive and innovative programming that meets the needs of the State’s most vulnerable citizens. We look forward to the continuing our partnership achieving outstanding levels of service for the people of Ohio.
