JOB DESCRIPTION:

The Financial Counselor/Treatment Authorization Request Coordinator Assistant participates in the admission process by responding to inquiries regarding the facility, insurance verification, financial counseling, patient admission, and data entry of all demographic information necessary to appropriately conclude the admission. This position will be a mix of financial counseling and intake with handling Treatment authorization request and supporting the TAR coordinator. This individual will be responsible for assessing patients and collecting financial information to guide them to the appropriate services. Admissions occur daily, with referrals coming from various ER departments across the region. As a result, patient volume can fluctuate, typically ranging from 5 to 20 cases per day. In addition to admissions support, this role involves assisting with general financial planning and conducting patient screenings for insurance eligibility. Not all patients will be on a self-pay plan, so familiarity with different coverage types will be important.

Exact compensation may vary based on several factors, including skills, experience, and education.

Benefit packages for this role will start on the 31st day of employment and include medical, dental, and vision insurance, as well as HSA, FSA, and DCFSA account options, and 401k retirement account access with employer matching.
