Full Job Description

đź“‹ Description

  • • Serve as the first point of contact for members who are confused, anxious, or overwhelmed by their health benefits. Every call you take is a chance to turn complexity into clarity and fear into confidence.
  • • Provide expert, jargon-free explanations of medical, dental, vision, pharmacy, life, disability, FSA/HSA, and ancillary plans so members can make informed decisions about their coverage.
  • • Guide employees and their families through open enrollment, new-hire onboarding, qualifying life events, and retirement transitions—translating dense plan documents into personalized recommendations.
  • • Compare Marketplace exchange plans, COBRA, Medicare, and individual coverage options side-by-side, highlighting cost-sharing, provider networks, and prescription tiers so members choose the right plan the first time.
  • • Investigate and resolve benefit discrepancies—deductible errors, denied claims, missing ID cards, or incorrect copays—by collaborating with carriers, HR teams, and internal departments until the issue is fully closed.
  • • Document every interaction in our HIPAA-compliant CRM with meticulous accuracy, ensuring audit readiness and seamless continuity if a member calls back.
  • • Maintain up-to-date knowledge of federal regulations (HIPAA, COBRA, ACA, ERISA, Medicare Part D) and state mandates so every answer you give is compliant and current.
  • • Deliver an empathetic, objective, and sales-free experience that builds trust in the first 30 seconds of a call; your tone and patience often determine whether a member feels heard or hangs up frustrated.
  • • Participate in ongoing calibration sessions, peer call reviews, and monthly knowledge-shares to keep your skills sharp and share best practices across the remote team.
  • • Identify trends in member questions and escalate systemic issues to our product and compliance teams, directly influencing plan design improvements and knowledge-base updates.
  • • Work a full-time, Monday-through-Friday schedule that flexes anywhere between 8:00 am and 10:00 pm EST, allowing you to balance personal obligations while still serving members coast-to-coast.
  • • Operate from a distraction-free home office that we equip with a laptop, dual monitors, noise-canceling headset, and secure VPN so you can focus on delivering world-class service.
  • • Contribute to team KPIs such as first-call resolution, average handle time, member satisfaction (CSAT), and quality assurance scores—metrics that reflect the real impact you have on people’s lives.
  • • Mentor new hires once you complete our award-winning 6-week training program, accelerating their path to proficiency and reinforcing a culture of compassion and accuracy.
  • • Celebrate wins—whether it’s a five-star member survey, a perfect QA score, or a heartfelt thank-you email—during our virtual huddles and quarterly recognition events.

🎯 Requirements

  • • 1–2 years of customer service experience in a high-volume contact center or benefits administration environment
  • • Demonstrated familiarity with U.S. health plans (medical, dental, vision), COBRA continuation, and tax-advantaged accounts such as FSA, HSA, or HRA (preferred)
  • • Ability to explain complex benefits concepts in plain language to audiences with varying levels of health literacy
  • • Proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, and web-based CRM or case-management systems
  • • Quiet, secure home office with reliable high-speed internet and the ability to maintain HIPAA-compliant privacy standards

🏖️ Benefits

  • • Fully remote role with company-provided laptop, dual monitors, headset, and secure VPN
  • • Competitive base salary plus annual performance bonus eligibility
  • • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance starting day one of employment
  • • 401(k) with immediate company match and 100% vesting from day one
  • • Tuition assistance up to $5,250 per year and paid certification programs (CEBS, CMS, HIPAA, etc.)
  • • Generous PTO, paid volunteer days, and 11 observed holidays—including your birthday off
