Extend Your TTY Service with NexTalk’s Remote Interpretation Services That Serve More People, More Effectively
NexTalk was officially approved by the FCC as a provider of IP CTS (Internet Protocol Captioned Telephone Service). This milestone reflects NexTalk’s ongoing commitment to accessibility, and it expands how we can support people who are deaf or hard of hearing with a more reliable, independent way to make and receive phone calls.
At NexTalk, our mission has always been to make communication accessible for everyone. For years, we’ve been the most trusted provider of TTY call-management solutions, delivering technology that bridges the gap between organizations and the customers they serve who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Language should never be a barrier to care, service, or connection. At NexTalk, our mission has always been to make communication more accessible for everyone. For years, we’ve led the way in TTY technology, helping organizations connect instantly with customers who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Extreme weather, infrastructure modernization, and rising customer expectations are putting increasing importance on utility communication accessibility. Causing compliance regulators to ask: Are you reaching every customer—especially those who are Deaf, Hard-of-Hearing, or rely on interpreters? When you don’t, complaints rise, trust diminishes, and in some cases fines follow.
For many Medicare plan providers, TTY compliance is often viewed as a regulatory requirement, but when treated strategically, it becomes a competitive advantage that drives member satisfaction, brand trust, and long-term growth. With the right accessibility software, you’re not just checking boxes; you’re leading with inclusion.
When it comes to CMS Star Ratings, accessibility is non-negotiable. Healthcare contact centers are expected to provide accessible customer support for all members, including those who are deaf, hard of hearing, or speech impaired. Failing to meet these expectations doesn’t just impact compliance—it can damage your CMS performance and your brand reputation.
For healthcare organizations, earning a CMS 5-Star Rating is a critical indicator of quality, trust, and member satisfaction. In a landscape where members expect accessible, responsive care, your contact center plays a pivotal role in achieving and maintaining this rating.
Clear, reliable communication is essential in customer service—especially for those who rely on TTY (Text Telephone) technology. For individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing, or speech-impaired, TTY provides a vital connection to the support they need. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our automated testing service, a behind-the-scenes testing feature designed to ensure TTY calls are always received, routed, and handled properly. Built with a focus on call reliability and agent readiness, this automated test is especially valuable for serving Medicare customers, where accessibility and compliance are non-negotiable.
