Job description

Overview

As an Access Management Agent (Contact Center Agent), you will serve as the first point of care for patients and referral partners, delivering an exceptional, warm, and empathetic experience on every interaction. Working in a medium to high-volume, queue-based call center, you will follow ATI’s referral intake workflows to schedule appointments, accurately document accounts, complete follow‑up work, and collaborate with internal partners. Success is measured through call center KPIs (quality, schedule adherence, productivity, accuracy, and conversion).

This is a remote role that requires high engagement, self‑discipline, and consistent availability in a real‑time, queue‑based environment. Success in this role requires active participation throughout scheduled work hours and comfort working in a highly visible, metric‑driven setting.

This is a fully remote position for US‑based employees.

Demonstrate empathy, warmth, and confidence on every call, with timely scheduling and clear next steps, even when barriers exist.
Maintain a minimum quality score of ≥ 75% across all audited activities
Performance, Compliance & Data Accuracy – Meet individual KPI benchmarks for call/referral volume, productivity, and accuracy while safeguarding PHI and complying with HIPAA. Adhere to assigned schedules, breaks, and meetings; maintain strong attendance and punctuality.
Issue Resolution & Escalation – Identify and proactively address barriers to scheduling; guide patients toward solutions using clear, compassionate communication, escalating appropriately to support one‑call resolution
Team Operations & Development – Actively participate in huddles, trainings, coaching, and feedback loops; contribute process observations to improve workflows and patient experience.
