• Navigate diverse insurance plans and coverage details, enter demographics and medical data, collect co-pays, and provide cost estimates when applicable 

• Collaborate with nurses, physicians, and care teams to ensure smooth patient flow 

No healthcare background? No problem. We’ll train you every step of the way—and this role is a fantastic launchpad for a growing healthcare career.
