Job Description
Our client, a healthcare consulting firm, is seeking a Patient Advocate for a direct hire role in Milton, GA.

The Patient Advocate will spend approximately 40-70% of their time on phone calls coordinating with doctors and patients to facilitate processes and collaborating with team members to ensure timely and responsive customer service. The other portion of time will include working in multiple systems documenting task statuses, updating key information, pulling data and reports. It will also include administrative responsibilities to include completion of required paperwork for processing orders. Â

The ability to gain trust from the patients/members is a critical component of this role, and is needed to obtain the sensitive and key information necessary to fulfill orders. The Patient Advocate must be self-driven and motivated with the ability to work under minimal supervision in a professional environment while meeting scheduled activities in a timely and efficient manner. Patient Advocate teams are highly collaborative, member focused and goal oriented.
