Explain coverage, estimates, and financial responsibility to patients
Assist with payment arrangements and financial assistance referrals when appropriate
Maintain accurate documentation and protect patient confidentiality
What You Bring:
Strong customer service and communication skills
Attention to detail and comfort working with insurance and authorization processes
Ability to explain financial and coverage information clearly and confidently
Minimum Requirements:
