• Maintain strict HIPAA compliance in all patient interactions, documentation, and communications — always protecting patient privacy and confidentiality.
• Respond promptly to communications from team members and organizational leadership via email, phone, and internal messaging platforms.
• Encompass basic knowledge of general insurance and billing procedures to either directly answer or escalate questions from patients as necessary.
