What We’re Looking For:
Exceptional customer service experience, communication and interpersonal skills
Strong composure and professionalism in a fast-paced environment
Ability to multitask and prioritize quickly with high attention to detail
Comfortable with shifting priorities based on patient needs
Experience with patient access, medical registration, insurance verification, or front desk is a plus
What You’ll Gain:
Experience in healthcare administration & patient access
Exposure to revenue cycle, insurance processes, and hospital operations
Opportunity for growth within R1
A team environment focused on innovation, collaboration, and patient experience
Meaningful work supporting patients during urgent and emotional moments
