Patient Access Rep

To help patients get treatments, medications, and other clinical necessities, patient access reps communicate with both beneficiaries and their benefits providers to verify coverage, administer reimbursements, and help construct plans of payment. 

Furthermore, patient access reps assist with insurance verification, which requires them to have an in-depth network of benefits knowledge. Patient access reps must display professionalism, strong communication skills, and excellent patient support, and they may sometimes be required to negotiate financial plans with patients that don’t currently have coverage or are not in-network.
