illumifin Phone Health Interviews Resume Regular Service Times

We are pleased to announce that illumifin has returned to normal service times for Phone Health Interviews (PHI). Previously, we experienced delays due to significant application volumes and the impact of holidays such as Memorial Day, Juneteenth, and the 4th of July. These factors caused interviews to be backed up by approximately three weeks. illumifin has worked diligently to address these delays, and is now back on track. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this period.   illumifin Phone Health Interviews Resume Regular Service Times   #goldencareagent #mutualofomaha
