Position Overview:

The Patient Advocate I is a primary frontline contact for Henry Meds patients. This role resolves standard non-clinical needs through phone, voicemail, email, chat, and other approved channels. The Patient Advocate I owns the patient interaction, completes authorized actions, coordinates internal help when needed, and keeps the patient informed through resolution.

Duties and Responsibilities:

Patient Support

• Communicate with patients by phone, email, and chat using timely, empathetic, and ownership-driven service.
• Work as a generalist across phone, email, chat, voicemail, billing, account support, subscriptions, scheduling, refill support, portal navigation, order support, and other approved non-clinical workflows.
• Accept channel and work-type assignments based on patient needs, volume, staffing, and operational priorities rather than individual preference.
• Resolve standard questions involving accounts, subscriptions, billing, scheduling, refill processes, portal use, intake forms, and order status.
• Guide new and existing patients through Henry systems and established care processes.
• Troubleshoot basic platform and account-access issues.
• Use approved retention and service-recovery options when appropriate.

Case Ownership and Coordination

• Own assigned patient needs from first contact through documented resolution.
• Complete authorized actions in the CRM, EHR, billing platform, and related systems.
• Manage the non-clinical portion of requests that also require clinical action.
• Explain next steps, expected timing, and any action required from the patient.
• Escalate stalled or unresolved work through the defined operating path.

Clinical Boundaries and Compliance

• Recognize possible symptoms, side effects, medication questions, and other clinical content.
• Route clinical matters to Patient Safety or the appropriate licensed team without providing clinical advice.
• Protect patient confidentiality and follow HIPAA, privacy, security, and documentation requirements.

Quality and Improvement

• Follow approved daily work assignments, queue priorities, coverage direction, and workflow guidance issued by the Manager or a designated Patient Advocate Leader.
• Meet established quality, accuracy, productivity, timeliness, attendance, and schedule expectations.
• Stay current on approved process, policy, product, pricing, and system changes.
• Identify unclear procedures, broken workflows, and recurring causes of repeat patient contact.

You will likely have:

• Experience in telehealth, healthcare, pharmacy support, subscription services, or regulated customer service.
• Experience with Zendesk, Zoho, an EHR, or billing platforms.

You may have:

• Previous experience in customer service, healthcare support, care coordination, a call center, or another high-volume service environment.
• Clear and compassionate verbal and written communication skills.
• Strong active listening, problem-solving, organization, and follow-through.
• Comfort learning and working across CRM, EHR, billing, and communication systems.
• Ability to work independently in a remote environment while collaborating with a distributed team.
• Ability to maintain clinical boundaries and follow escalation requirements.
• Commitment to patient privacy, accurate documentation, and continuous learning.

Company Offers:

• Platinum PPO Healthcare + Vision & Dental (Henry covers 99% for employees and 50% for their qualified dependents).
• 401(k) with matching contributions beginning your first day.
• Unlimited PTO (target of 4 weeks), 6 floating holidays, and 4 company observed holidays.
• Fully remote position with occasional travel.
• Impactful, rewarding work as part of a fast-growing brand helping thousands of people every day.
