WebexOne 2026: GetixHealth on Buying Into the Webex Roadmap

Dan Womack, VP of Software at GetixHealth, tells CX Today why the medical billing company chose Webex Contact Center two years ago for its roadmap, how AI tools are helping it reach more patients, and why patients will decide where its virtual agents go next

Few patients look forward to a call about a medical bill. For GetixHealth, which handles back-office revenue cycle work for large hospital chains, provider groups and clinicians, those calls cover financial aid, payment plans and insurance queries. Every conversation that reaches the right person moves an account closer to being settled.

Around two years ago, the company replaced the contact centre platform behind that work with Webex Contact Center. Speaking to CX Today at WebexOne 2026 in Austin, Dan Womack, VP of Software at GetixHealth, says the old system had been feature-rich and closely tied into GetixHealth's core platform when it was bought, but by the end it was falling behind what the market expected.

Why GetixHealth Chose Webex Contact Center for Its Roadmap

Womack says GetixHealth went to market looking beyond feature parity. The team wanted to know what each vendor planned to ship over the next one, three and five years, and Cisco's investment in its platform stood out against alternatives he describes as solid.

We quickly realised that if a company won't keep investing in its platform, it's only good at the time of purchase.

The stakes were high. According to Cisco's case study, GetixHealth was running a legacy on-premises system with agent attrition above 50%, while planning to grow its contact centre to nearly 3,000 agents. It brought in partner CXAS to implement Webex Calling and Webex Contact Center. Womack says the roadmap Cisco presented has since been delivered, including the virtual agents and AI agent assist tools GetixHealth now uses, many of which Cisco made generally available in 2025.

AI Notes, QA and Virtual Agents Drive More Right-Party Contacts

Womack says the rollout has given agents, supervisors and the C-suite better visibility and more automation, from AI-generated notes to call recording reviews and quality assurance. GetixHealth also used the migration to rework its own workflows instead of moving old processes onto a new platform.

The aim is more calls, lower costs and more right-party contacts, the measure that matters most in revenue cycle work.

The more of the right people we can talk to, the more we're able to reconcile those accounts for our clients.

Cisco's figures point the same way. It says GetixHealth has cut call wrap-up times by 86%, now scores all of its interactions with Webex AI, and has reduced dropped-call complaints by 70%.

Patients Will Shape GetixHealth's Next Steps With AI

Asked what comes next, Womack declines to set out a fixed plan. GetixHealth monitors how patients use its virtual agents and adjusts based on what they ask for.

Patients are ultimately going to tell us, through their interactions with us, what they want more of.

He expects demand for more complex self-service, such as completing financial assistance applications or enrolling in state programmes like Medicaid and Medi-Cal through a virtual agent. What patients ask for on one set of calls shapes the guardrails GetixHealth sets for the next.

That ambition lines up with what Cisco unveiled in Austin. Its new Dialog harness is built for agents that keep working on a case after the conversation ends, which suits multi-step tasks like benefits enrolment, though it is not expected in beta until the first quarter of 2027. For GetixHealth, the test of the decision it made two years ago is whether Cisco delivers the next phase of its roadmap as reliably as the last.
