ABOUT THE ROLE

Matter Health is seeking a compassionate and dependable Bilingual Care Support Specialist to serve as the primary point of contact for patients and caregivers contacting our care teams by phone.

In this role, you will answer inbound calls in both English and Spanish, understand the reason for each inquiry, document important information, and connect patients with the appropriate Care Coordinator, Nurse Practitioner, Registered Nurse, or department. You will independently resolve non-clinical requests while ensuring urgent or clinical concerns are escalated promptly according to established protocols.

You will also provide administrative support through appointment coordination, medical record retrieval, e-fax management, data entry, and patient message follow-up. Although this position does not provide clinical care or medical advice, it plays an essential role in ensuring every patient feels heard, supported, and connected to the care they need.

This position is ideal for someone who communicates with empathy, is fluent in both English and Spanish, remains composed in a fast-paced environment, and finds purpose in making a meaningful difference in a patient’s day and healthcare experience.

• Receive patient refill requests and route them to the appropriate clinical team member for review and processing

• Accurately document patient interactions, call outcomes, messages, and follow-up items in the electronic medical record

• Relay patient messages to clinical team members and follow up to support timely responses

• Manage inbound call queues while maintaining appropriate answer times, low hold times, and a high level of first-contact resolution

• Complete non-telephonic administrative work, including e-fax management, medical record retrieval and routing, data entry, and data cleanup

• Proactively identify unmet patient needs and connect patients with the appropriate resources or care team member

• Maintain patient confidentiality and data security in compliance with HIPAA and organizational requirements

• Set appropriate expectations and maintain professional and personal boundaries during all patient and caregiver interactions

• Participate in training and professional development related to call protocols, healthcare policies, systems, and patient-support best practices

• Collaborate with clinical and operational team members to provide a seamless patient experience

• Contribute to a positive, patient-centered team culture

QUALIFICATIONS

• Fluency in both English and Spanish, with the ability to communicate clearly and professionally with patients and caregivers in both languages

• 1–2 years of healthcare experience, ideally in a telephonic patient-support, medical office, call center, or patient-services role

• Experience managing high-volume inbound calls in a professional, service-oriented environment

• Familiarity with medical terminology sufficient to accurately understand, document, and route patient inquiries

• Experience using an electronic health record or electronic medical record system

• Basic proficiency with workplace technology and applications such as Microsoft Teams and Outlook

• Strong verbal communication skills and the ability to communicate clearly and compassionately with patients and caregivers

• Ability to assist patients from diverse backgrounds, including individuals with limited health literacy or significant health and social needs

• Strong attention to detail and the ability to document information accurately

• Ability to multitask, prioritize, and remain composed in a fast-paced, high-volume environment

• Sound judgment and the ability to recognize when an inquiry requires escalation to a clinical team member

• Ability to collaborate effectively with a multidisciplinary clinical and operational team

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience supporting patients or caregivers by phone in a healthcare environment

• Experience using athenaOne, Salesforce, or similar EHR and CRM platforms

• Experience using cloud-based contact center or softphone platforms such as 8x8 or Twilio

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• Providing every patient and caregiver with a compassionate and professional experience in both English and Spanish

• Answering and routing calls accurately, efficiently, and according to established protocols

• Recognizing clinical or urgent concerns and escalating them to the appropriate team member promptly

• Maintaining complete, accurate, and timely documentation in the electronic medical record

• Helping patients receive timely responses and remain connected to their care teams

• Balancing call-queue expectations with Matter Health’s commitment to high-quality, patient-centered support
