Make a Difference Every Day

Are you passionate about helping others and delivering exceptional customer service? Do you thrive on solving problems and building meaningful relationships? You'll play a vital role in helping retirees understand and maximize their healthcare benefits.

This is more than a customer service position—you'll become a trusted advocate for members, guiding them through insurance questions, resolving complex issues, and ensuring they receive the support they deserve.

Job Title: Benefits Specialist 

Responsibilities

• Member Support & Advocacy: Answer incoming member calls and handle member plan selections. Provide end-to-end support by answering questions around plan coverage, reaching out to doctor's offices and pharmacies, and working directly with insurance carriers to resolve denied claims.
• Independent Case Management: Manage your own dedicated member caseload (averaging ~50 members from April to October, scaling to 70–80 during Open Enrollment from October to March). You will be expected to resolve most retiree calls and issues independently with little to no support from management, though leadership backup is always available for tougher cases.
• Proactive Follow-Up: Manage a workflow that heavily features proactive outbound follow-up calls to ensure member issues are fully resolved and promises are kept.
• Team Collaboration & Projects: Assist Team Leads and Managers with special team responsibilities, including projects, eligibility reviews, and billing tasks. Attend all mandatory team and division meetings.
• Performance Metrics: Maintain an exceptional Net Promoter Score (NPS) target between 92–94% by leading with extreme empathy and delivering accurate, elite-level customer service.

Required Skills

• Education: High School Diploma or equivalent.
• Unmatched Empathy & Relatability: A genuine desire to serve a senior population, immense pride in your customer service quality, and a habit of active listening.
• Coachability: Highly receptive to hands-on, fast-paced training and continuous direction.
• Computer Literacy: Strong computer aptitude, multitasking skills, and comfort navigating databases (passing an online e-skills assessment is required).

Preferred Skills

• 1+ year of high-touch customer service experience.
• Salesforce Experience: Prior familiarity with Salesforce or a similar CRM platform is a strong plus.
• Non-Traditional Backgrounds Welcome: We have found that individuals without prior corporate call center experience often perform best here. We highly welcome backgrounds in veterinary practices, medical front offices (prior authorizations), or the hospitality and service industry.
