Job description

About Geode Health

Geode Health is a rapidly growing, national provider of outpatient mental health services. Our Mission is to “Transform mental health by making it more accessible, affordable and effective”. Department: Patient Support Center – CareSync Position Type: Full‑time | Remote | Hourly, Non‑Exempt Schedule: Monday–Friday, 7 AM–6:00 PM CT; flexibility to support new patient inbound coverage as needed.

About the Role

The Patient Engagement Specialist is a high‑impact, outbound‑first role at the heart of patient access and acquisition. You are the voice that reaches out to patients after they’ve been referred or expressed interest in care, helping them move from referral to a scheduled first visit. You’ll process incoming referrals, make timely and persistent outreach, and deliver white‑glove support to the referring providers who trust us with their patients. You’ll also flex to answer new patient inbound calls when volume calls for it. This is a fast‑paced, goal‑oriented environment for people who care deeply about both outcomes and experience. You’ll use strong virtual human connection, sound judgment, and follow‑through to remove barriers to care, connect each patient to the right provider, and keep referring partners informed every step of the way. If you bring empathy, urgency, and a growth mindset, and believe every outreach is an opportunity to help someone take the next step, this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

• Drive Outbound Engagement & Conversion. Proactively call referred patients and new patient leads, making first contact the same or next business day and following a structured outreach cadence until the patient is scheduled or the referral is closed.
• Convert referrals and leads into scheduled first visits by matching each patient to the right provider using screening questions, insurance, provider preferences, and scheduling tools.
• Guide hesitant patients toward a confident “yes” using empathy, reflective listening, communication frameworks, and sound judgment while removing barriers without pressure.
• Set clear expectations for the first visit so patients arrive informed, comfortable, and ready to attend.
• Meet individual and team targets for speed to first outreach, contact rate, and referral‑to‑scheduled conversion.
• Process Referrals Accurately. Receive, review, and process incoming referrals from email, fax, phone, and partner channels promptly and accurately.
• Confirm patient demographic and insurance information is complete and accurate; follow up with the referring office or patient to close any gaps.
• Track each referral from receipt to first visit so status is clear to referring partners and internal teams.
• Build and maintain working knowledge of accepted insurance plans.
• Deliver White‑Glove Support to Referring Providers. Serve as a responsive, reliable point of contact for referring provider offices, answering questions and sharing timely referral status updates.
• Close the loop with referring providers by confirming receipt, sharing scheduling outcomes, and letting them know when another level of care may be a better fit.
• Build trusted relationships with key partner practices so Geode is an easy, dependable place to send their patients.
• Flex to Support New Patient Inbound Calls. Answer new patient inbound calls during peak volume or as assigned, with warmth, urgency, and a bias toward booking the first visit.
• Partner with the Patient Support Center team to keep handoffs seamless for patients and providers.
• Grow Through Coaching & Quality Work toward individual and team goals for conversion, outreach timeliness, contact rate, quality, and documentation, using feedback and performance insights to keep improving.
• Welcome regular call auditing and coaching as fuel for growth; apply feedback quickly and consistently.
• Document every outreach attempt and interaction accurately in our systems with the right context and a clear next step.
• Own the Patient & Provider Experience. Create a calm, personalized experience that helps patients feel confident taking the next step in care.
• Protect patient privacy by maintaining strict confidentiality and following HIPAA and all privacy requirements.
• Flex with changing workflows, volumes, and schedules while supporting the broader team as needs shift.
