Patient Financial Advocate

Location: LifePoint Haywood Regional Medical Center
Shift: Monday - Friday (8:00 am to 5:00 pm)
As our Patient Financial Advocate - Financial Counselor Representative, you'll be responsible for counseling uninsured and or under-insured patients to attempt to obtain a paying funding source. You will educate patients on their responsibilities and potential options. You'll be responsible for accurately and compassionately explaining to the patient their financial obligation during their counseling session. In this role, the successful employee must display a strong sense of patient care and attention to detail.
To thrive in this job, you'll need to be a confident multi-tasker who is a quick study with technology, health plans, and the ability to be a liaison between multiple entities. Previous experience as a financial counselor with a background in medical terminology and understanding State and Federal assistance programs is a plus. Since this is a hospital/lab environment, you will need to be prepared to see illness and injuries. You may need to be up to date on all vaccinations (including but not limited to COVID-19 and annual flu shot), pass a drug test, and pass a background check prior to hire.
