Frequently Asked Questions

Read some of the most commonly asked questions about our call answering services provided by TAS United.
How do I sign-up and how soon can we get started?

Signing up for service is simple! One of our account representatives will send you a service agreement, which will need to be signed and returned. Once we have the signed agreement back, we will schedule a “welcome call” to introduce you to our client relationship team. During this call, we will collect a few items of information so we can build your account to your needs. Following this call, we can have most new accounts completed and ready for service in 3 business days.

Our systems are certified annually by third-party auditors. This is done to assure that we are following the latest security measures to protect the transfer of sensitive information such as patient health information.

In January 2024, TAS United received its letter of certification from HITRUST. This ensures that we have taken the necessary steps to prove our systems and facilities are protected from data breaches related to PHI exposure. TAS United is now one of only two providers in our industry to achieve HITRUST certification.

What is HITRUST? While HIPAA is an act that details standards for compliance, HITRUST is an organization that helps achieve those standards. The difference is that HIPAA is simply a set of regulations while HITRUST holds companies like TAS United to those regulations. This will assure that your practice is protected from liability associated with data breaches with your call center partner. Simply put…TAS United is the most secure provider in the industry.

TAS United is a time-based service. This means that your bill is determined by the volume and length of the calls we manage for you over the course of a 28-day billing cycle. We offer a variety of plans that we can customize for you depending on the estimated call volume. Overage charges apply if you exceed your minutes. It’s very similar to an old cell phone plan in this regard.

TAS United also has dedicated agents available for more involved accounts. These are agents who answer for one account only and is priced differently than our time-based “pool” of agents above.

No. The majority of our clients operate on a month-to-month agreement. We do offer annual agreements if requested. A simple 30-day notice is required if you would like to cancel service.

Not at all. We keep an eye on your usage, especially for our new customers. If we discover that you are going over your minutes, we can adjust your plan up or down to better fit your call demands. Many of our seasonal clients adjust their plans by increasing their minutes during high traffic months and decreasing their minutes during their slow season.

An average call lasts between 1-2 minutes. Depending on your type of business, calls may require a longer amount of time on the phone. If you have a general idea of how long your calls last and how many calls you normally receive, you can typically multiply that number by 2 minutes to get a feel for which plan is right for you. Our sales executives have extensive experience with all business types and can provide you with an approximate cost. Contact our sales team today.

Yes, we are available round-the-clock – 24/7/365.

Our billing cycle is 28 days.

Only if you want them to know. Most of our clients request that we represent ourselves as their business. We have many clients who ask us to identify ourselves as their company’s answering service, call center, help desk, or support center. All of your company’s information will populate on our agent’s screen when a call comes in. They will answer the call with your company name and follow a script to dispatch the call to your specifications. We are your virtual receptionist, and the caller never has to know that we are a third party. As far as they will know, we are sitting in your office.

Message delivery is customized to meet your needs. We can deliver messages via text, email, or phone call. We can even patch the call through to you at a minimal fee. This means that we are actually connecting the caller directly to you while they are still on the line. You also will receive a daily report via email each morning, which breaks down the calls we processed for you during the past 24 hours. And, you will always have access to your messages via our online client portal, which you can visit 24/7.

No.
