MD’s Service Centre is "World Class" for Fourth Consecutive Year

MD Financial Management (MD), a Canadian Medical Association (CMA)-owned financial management organization, has had its Service Centre recognized for the fourth consecutive year as "world class" in customer service excellence. This recognition is based on the results of a survey period across 2014.

Also, for the second consecutive year MD surpassed world class scores for all eight key performance indicators, including Calls Resolved, Satisfaction with the Service Representative and Satisfaction with the Call Centre:

• 92% of MD clients were "very satisfied" with the MD service representative who handled their call. This score surpasses the wealth management industry average by close to 10%.
• MD scored 96% efficiency in resolving client inquiries, a score that outperforms both the wealth management industry and world class call centre average.

“To achieve world class levels of performance in all our customer feedback for the fourth year in a row, and to achieve the top rank in all the performance indicators confirms that MD is delivering on our commitment to provide an outstanding experience for our physician clients and their families each and every day,” said Paul Mason, Executive Vice President of Technology and Operations at MD.

The MD Service Centre handles more than 100,000 calls a year on matters including CMA membership and benefits, MD account information and to place trades for clients. To contact the MD Service Centre, call 1 800 267-2332.
