Customer Intake Specialist - Extended Coverage Representative

MedScope (a division of Medical Guardian) is a fast-paced and rapidly growing medical alarm company. We are seeking a responsible, organized multi-tasker to fill a role in the Customer Intake Department. The ideal candidate will be skilled with using our customized system to input new orders that arrive via phone, fax, or email.  Registration duties include verifying information contained on the order form; communicating directly with either the customer or the referring source as needed; navigating varying healthcare portals to find customer information needed during the Intake process; entering the order and all relevant information into our customized system; correcting existing customer records when notified of changes; cancelling customer accounts; answering calls and emails daily from both customers and care managers.  

Ability to work as part of a team, across varying departments a must.  Compliance with HIPAA guidelines required, as there will be handling of confidential health information.

This position follows an extended schedule that differs from the standard 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM EST shift worked by the rest of the team. The first 5 to 5.5 hours will overlap with standard team hours, while the remaining portion of the shift is dedicated to supporting our expanding national partnerships that require evening phone coverage. This includes answering inbound calls from members who wish to opt in to eligible Medicare Advantage services. When not on calls, the representative will complete standard intake processing tasks, including email and fax order entry. While this role may eventually expand to include additional extended coverage team members, the current position requires someone who can work independently and maintain productivity during evening hours with limited or no direct managerial support.
