CMS Pub. 100-09, ch. 6, § 70.1.1
Call Completion
The call completion rate is the percentage of all toll-free attempts successfully delivered to the PCC’s
equipment. The PCC shall meet the following standards:
• Each CSR/IVR combined line shall have a completion rate of no less than 80%
• Each CSR-only line shall have a completion rate of no less than 80%
• Each IVR-only line shall have a completion rate of no less than 95%
The standards are measured quarterly and are cumulative for the quarter.
MACs shall email the service reports mailbox by 11:00 am ET when their PCC completion rate for the
previous business day was less than the applicable standards described above. The email shall report
the decreased completion rate roll-up for the jurisdiction and the decreased completion rate by
individual toll-free number and shall identify the MAC’s toll-free number by MAC name, jurisdiction,
line of business, configuration (IVR, CSR, IVR/CSR), and numerical toll-free number. The email shall
also specify if the completion rate was impacted by staffing, call volume, or technical
telecommunications or connectivity issues. The email shall be sent with the subject line “Completion
Rate.”
