You should feel comfortable working across multiple programs and typing as quickly as patients can talk. You will work around clinicians interrupting the registration process for urgent clinical care.
• Helping people who may be very ill or worried. Patients need you to be there for them and listen carefully to ease their anxiety. You'll ask follow-up questions and build rapport in real time.
• While collecting patient and insurance information may seem straightforward, there is a lot of variation in health plans and coverage. There will be knowledge gathered through training. You must work quickly and expect the unexpected. This is not a desk job.
