Providing non-clinical navigation support to Medicare patients to help them understand and follow through with their care plans.
Обязанности
- As a Care Advocate, you'll be at the center of a patient's navigation journey. After a patient completes an initial visit with a clinical lead, you become their go-to support: helping them understand their care plan, schedule appointments, communicate with providers, navigate insurance, and connect to community resources for needs like food, housing, and transportation.
- This is non-clinical navigation support provided under the general supervision of the patient's billing provider. You won't be giving medical advice — you'll be removing the friction that keeps patients from getting the care they're entitled to.
- You'll juggle multiple patients at once, so the people who thrive in this role can hold breadth across many open situations without losing the thread on any single one.
- Serve as the primary point of contact for patients after their intake visit.
- Help patients understand and act on their care plan — scheduling appointments, finding in-network providers, and using their Medicare benefits.
- Resolve navigation friction: portals, referrals, appointment logistics, forms, and provider communications.
- Identify practical and social-needs support (food, housing, transportation, etc.) and connect patients to available resources.
- Coordinate with clinical team members involved in a patient's care, while providing non-clinical support only.
- Document every patient interaction and support activity in our platform, accurately and on time.
- Maintain confidentiality and comply with HIPAA, privacy, and all applicable platform standards.
Требования
- You genuinely care about older adults and people facing barriers to care, and you bring patience, warmth, and respect to every interaction.
- You're organized and self-directed — you can prioritize across a full caseload, follow through, and keep clean documentation without being chased.
- You're comfortable with technology and learn new tools quickly (EHRs, CRMs, messaging and scheduling platforms).
- You're a strong communicator who can build trust over the phone and explain confusing things simply.
- You stay calm in ambiguity and take initiative to solve problems.
Будет плюсом
- Experience supporting older adults or patients with complex or serious illness.
- Familiarity with Medicaid and other public programs.
- Bilingual — Spanish or another language common among Medicare patients.
