Connect Care. Remove Barriers. Improve Outcomes.

At Health Advocate, Patient Navigation goes beyond traditional call‑center service. This is a high‑volume, phone‑based patient support role focused on helping people understand and take the next step in their care.

As a Patient Navigator, you’ll conduct frequent outbound outreach and speak with patients about personal and sometimes sensitive healthcare information. You’ll need to build trust quickly, listen carefully, explain complex information clearly, and confidently guide patients through next steps while staying within the scope of your role.

Before You Apply: Make Sure This Role Is Right for You

This role is a strong fit for someone who:

• Is comfortable making a high volume of outbound calls
• Is comfortable discussing personal and sensitive healthcare topics
• Can quickly establish rapport with patients who may be uncertain, anxious, frustrated, or hesitant
• Can understand detailed processes and translate them into clear, easy‑to‑follow next steps
• Is comfortable working in a structured, performance‑focused environment
• Can work consistently and reliably during their assigned shift
• Can maintain a private environment appropriate for confidential patient conversations while working remotely

Schedule: Evening Shifts Only

We are currently hiring specifically for evening coverage:

• 1:00 PM–9:30 PM ET
• 1:30 PM–10:00 PM ET

Daytime schedules are not available for this opening. Candidates should apply only if they can consistently commit to one of the schedules above.

Compensation

$18.00/hour base rate + applicable evening shift differential

What You’ll Be Doing

A significant part of your day will involve contacting patients and helping them navigate important healthcare next steps.

You may:

• Conduct high‑volume outbound patient outreach
• Explain next steps and processes in clear, understandable language
• Help patients navigate appointment scheduling and care coordination
• Identify barriers such as transportation, access, or understanding of next steps

• Document conversations accurately
• Recognize questions that require clinical expertise and connect patients with the appropriate clinical resource
• Protect patient confidentiality and follow HIPAA requirements
