[Hiring] Patient Engagement Specialist @Vori Health

Role Description

As a Patient Engagement Specialist, you will be on the frontlines serving members diagnosed with musculoskeletal and orthopedic pain and injury as an advocate who informs new patients about how Vori Health can support them in their care journey as a covered benefit from their health plan or employer. You will be working closely with the customer service, marketing, operations, and growth teams to help enroll and engage new eligible patients and schedule care.

Enrollment is the first member-facing step in this journey, offering you the first opportunity to demonstrate our program’s value to potential members. In this role you will spend a significant portion of your time completing outbound and inbound phone conversations and interactions with members to enroll them in the Vori Health program. These members will either have asked to be contacted for help getting enrolled or will have been identified through their health insurance as people who have an existing condition that would benefit from our services. In addition, you will listen to needs, surface goals and priorities, and assist our clinical team by helping them understand the needs of the members we enroll and serve. You will help us improve Vori Health’s offerings by communicating the feedback from members and providers back to our marketing and leadership teams. This role is fully remote.
