Support timely access to care by minimizing delays in registration and answer questions with confidence, clarity, and compassion
Build trust with patients during moments when they may be ill, anxious, confused, or overwhelmed

Navigate diverse insurance plans and coverage details, enter demographics and medical data, collect co-pays and provide cost estimates when applicable

Collaborate with nurses, physicians, and care teams to ensure smooth patient flow

No healthcare background? No problem. We’ll train you every step of the way—and this role is a fantastic launchpad for a growing healthcare career.

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 (but not required)
High School Diploma or GED
Ability to pass background check, drug test, and meet vaccination requirements

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

Learn Healthcare from the Ground Up: From insurance basics to hospital workflows, you’ll gain valuable knowledge and skills that open the door to long-term career growth.

Fast-Paced, Never Boring: You’ll move between systems, phone calls, and in‑person interactions - balancing accuracy with compassion, working alongside clinicians and emergency staff.
