• 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.
