This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Great West Health staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
