Description
ABOUT US
In 1981, fueled by the desire to provide quality, accessible healthcare to migrant and farm workers in their community, five visionary women laid the foundation of what would later become Tri-Cities Community Health (TCCH). As a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), TCCH stands tall in the community, boasting six clinical sites strategically positioned to provide comprehensive primary care services to the underserved populations of Pasco, Kennewick, Richland, and the neighboring cities. Serving as the trusted medical home for our patients, TCCH offers a wide range of services - from dental care, optometry, and pharmacy needs to behavioral health and endocrinology. Our spectrum of services is continually expanding as our community grows. Our excellent care extends beyond the walls of our clinics, seamlessly connecting patients to vital social services like WIC and Maternal Support Services. And for those facing logistical barriers, we go the extra mile, ensuring access to prescribed medication by delivering directly to their doorstep. Everything we do reflects our core values of Quality, Respect, and Service.
OPPORTUNITY
TCCH is growing and actively recruiting Patient Services Specialists (PSS) to join our Care Teams across all our care sites. We are seeking passionate, driven individuals who align with our values of Quality, Respect, and Service, and are eager to make a meaningful impact on the well-being of our patients. Under the direct supervision of the Site Manager, the PSS provides exceptional customer service to all patients, customers, clients, coworkers, and staff. With a smile, the PSS acknowledges and greets every site visitor entering our clinics. PSS staff cover all sites and service lines under the Unified Customer Service Department Manager. PSS staff are required to meet front desk metrics that include full patient registration, eligibility verification, insurance card scanning, email reviewing, and documenting time of service collection. PSS is responsible for accurately collecting all UDS data, family size, and household income for our clients. When creating claims, PSS ensures patient eligibility and proper insurance policy selections while managing daily completion of miscellaneously assigned departmental tasks. All responsibilities will take place while working closely with providers and care teams to ensure patient care is thoroughly achieved.
