About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Screen Patients and Manage Intake You will call patients and ask health-related questions using a set script. These calls usually last 15 to 20 minutes. Your goal is to make patients feel comfortable so they share honest answers.
Connect Patients to Resources You will ask questions to learn what each patient needs. Then you will share resources and send referrals to health and mental health services.
Keep Accurate Records During each call, you will type patient responses into a health records system called an Electronic Health Record (EHR). You will review and finalize your notes before the end of each workday. All records must follow federal privacy rules (HIPAA) and billing standards. You will also collect and record patient consent at the start of each call.
Manage Your Schedule You will keep your own daily calendar, send reminder calls to reduce missed appointments, and meet weekly goals. You will also schedule follow-up calls for patients and leave time between appointments to finish your notes.
