Position Overview

arenaflex is hiring a Remote Healthcare Customer Support Specialist to join our growing Member Engagement team. In this role, you will serve as a trusted guide for members navigating the often-complex world of healthcare benefits. You will make outbound and receive inbound calls to schedule doctor appointments, assist members in completing Health Needs Screenings, and process payments that unlock enhanced benefits. Beyond transactional support, you will play a pivotal role in influencing members to take full advantage of available services, recommending preferred providers, and educating them on appropriate utilization of healthcare resources — including when (and when not) to use Emergency Departments.

This is more than a customer service job. It is a member advocacy position that blends communication, problem-solving, healthcare knowledge, and empathy. If you are motivated by helping others, comfortable working with data and call metrics, and eager to grow within a purpose-driven organization, arenaflex wants to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

• Member Outreach and Inbound Support: Make outbound calls to members and answer inbound calls in a timely, professional, and compassionate manner, addressing needs related to appointment scheduling, Health Needs Screenings, benefit eligibility, and payment processing.
• Appointment Scheduling: Coordinate and schedule doctor appointments on behalf of members, ensuring alignment with their preferences, provider availability, and benefit coverage.
• Health Needs Screening Assistance: Guide members through completing Health Needs Screenings, explaining the importance of preventive care and how the information supports their overall health plan.
• Payment Processing for Enhanced Benefits: Assist members in making payments required to become eligible for enhanced benefit tiers, clearly explaining the value and impact of those upgrades.
• Benefits Education and Influence: Proactively educate members about additional benefits available to them, recommend preferred in-network providers, and influence members to take advantage of services that improve their health outcomes.
• Emergency Department Education: Clearly and respectfully educate members on appropriate utilization of Emergency Departments versus urgent or primary care settings, including how non-emergent ED use can impact their benefits and out-of-pocket costs.
• Barrier Identification and Resolution: Identify obstacles preventing members from completing screenings, obtaining services, or making payments, and work creatively to overcome those barriers — whether they are financial, informational, logistical, or emotional.
• Profile Review and Opportunity Analysis: Review each member profile thoroughly before outreach to surface opportunities for additional benefits, eligibility upgrades, and recommended services.
• Continuous Quality Improvement: Participate in ongoing quality improvement initiatives designed to elevate department performance, exceed company goals, and enhance the member experience.
• Data Analysis and Call Approach Optimization: Review and analyze call reports and performance data to identify trends, refine outreach strategies, and adjust call approaches to improve member engagement and outcomes.
• Secondary Resource Support: Act as a knowledgeable secondary resource for the Member Services and Provider Services call centers, assisting with escalations, complex inquiries, and cross-functional collaboration as needed.

Essential Qualifications

• High School Diploma or Equivalent: A solid educational foundation is required; additional education in healthcare, communications, or business is a plus.
• Customer Service Experience: Minimum of 1–2 years of customer service experience, preferably in a call center, healthcare, insurance, or member-facing environment.
• Communication Skills: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills with the ability to explain complex information in a clear, friendly, and relatable manner.
• Empathy and Patience: A genuine passion for helping people, paired with the patience to listen actively and respond with care.
• Computer Literacy: Comfort navigating multiple systems, entering data accurately, and learning new software platforms quickly.
• Remote Work Readiness: A quiet, dedicated home workspace, reliable high-speed internet, and the discipline to thrive in a remote, productivity-driven environment.
• Flexibility: Willingness to work scheduled shifts that may include evenings, weekends, or holidays based on business need.

Preferred Qualifications

• Healthcare or Insurance Background: Prior experience working in a healthcare, insurance, managed care, or benefits administration setting is highly desirable.
• Sales or Influence Experience: Background in consultative sales, member retention, or benefit upselling is a strong plus.
• Bilingual Capabilities: Fluency in Spanish or another commonly spoken language is a significant advantage.
• CRM and Call Center Tools: Familiarity with CRM platforms, call center dialer systems, and member management software.
• Quality and Metrics Focus: Experience working in environments that track performance metrics, quality scores, and continuous improvement goals.

Skills and Competencies for Success

• Active Listening: The ability to fully understand member concerns before responding with solutions.
• Problem-Solving: A resourceful mindset for identifying and breaking down barriers to care.
• Persuasion and Influence: Confidence in recommending services and motivating members toward healthier choices without being pushy.
• Adaptability: Comfort adjusting communication style and call approach based on member personality, needs, and data insights.
• Attention to Detail: Precision in reviewing member profiles, documenting interactions, and processing payments.
