Patient Care Coordinator

Patient Access And Financial Clearance Support

We are looking for a detail-oriented individual to support patient access and financial clearance activities. This role focuses on preparing patients for upcoming services by confirming coverage, gathering registration details, and explaining expected out-of-pocket costs with clarity and professionalism. The ideal candidate brings experience in healthcare front-end revenue cycle work and can manage a high-volume workload while maintaining accuracy, compliance, and a patient-centered approach.

Responsibilities:

• Conduct pre-registration conversations with patients to gather demographic, insurance, and service-related details, then enter complete and accurate information into Epic.
• Review active insurance coverage for scheduled visits or admissions by completing eligibility checks and documenting verification results in the appropriate system.
• Analyze plan benefits for upcoming services, including effective dates, limitations, authorization needs, and potential patient payment obligations.
• Prepare and communicate cost estimates so patients have a clear understanding of anticipated financial responsibility before care is delivered.
• Explain applicable patient-facing policies and required documentation, including treatment-related acknowledgments, general rights information, and other registration materials.
• Identify situations involving limited or insufficient coverage, discuss available assistance options, and connect patients with financial counseling or government support resources when appropriate.
• Provide guidance to newer team members by sharing knowledge related to payer requirements, revenue cycle processes, and issues that affect financial clearance outcomes.
• Support additional operational tasks as needed to help maintain workflow quality, productivity, and service standards in a high-volume environment.
