- Evaluate and enter pre-payment amounts for patients receiving treatment; serve as back-up to the Patient Financial Counselor during absences.
- Initiate and obtain insurance referrals for services such as office visits, labs, phlebotomy, and port flushes; coordinate with providers and payers to resolve referral issues and ensure timely approvals.
- Maintain accurate records of all referral requests, approvals, and denials for audit and compliance purposes.
- Respond promptly to inquiries from Patient Access, Patient Services, Chemotherapy Services, and Revenue Cycle teams regarding insurance or referral matters.
