- Accurately document patient information using electronic health records.

What You Bring:
- Education/Experience: Associate degree in a related field OR at least 2 years’ experience in a healthcare setting with insurance exposure.
- 2+ years of proven customer service experience in healthcare.
- Ability to obtain Washington State Tribal Assister Certification within 1 month of hire (if not already certified).
- Experience with Medicare A, B, C, and D, SSD, SSI, and Medicaid/Apple Health strongly preferred.
- Ability to explain complex healthcare coverage in a clear, supportive way.
- Bonus: Experience working in Tribal Health, IHS facilities, or Native-based healthcare systems.
