The Opportunity 

Ever had a phone call turn someone's whole day around? That's this job. Healthcare is confusing, and most people would rather ignore a benefits letter than call about it. You're the one who picks up the phone, cuts through the confusion, and gets someone unstuck — turning “I'll deal with it later” into “okay, I'm scheduled.” 

In this role, outbound calling is the core of the job. You'll spend the majority of your day dialing, building rapport fast, handling objections, and guiding members toward scheduled care — all day, every day. If you get energy from the phone ringing, love the rhythm of a good dial list, and want to sharpen your sales instincts in a role that actually matters to people's health, this is built for you. 

What You'll Do 

This is a phone-first, sales-driven role. Expect a full day of outbound dialing, with the skills below woven into every call: 

• Spend the bulk of your day making outbound calls: working dial lists, building rapport fast, and moving members toward scheduling their care 

• Apply consultative sales techniques and confident objection-handling to turn hesitant or disengaged members into active participants in their own care 

• Educate members on their benefits and surgical pathways clearly enough that they're ready to say yes 

• Field inbound calls as needed, offering the same expert-level guidance on benefits and appointment scheduling 

• Own member cases from initiation through resolution, coordinating across providers, insurers, and internal teams 

• Keep meticulous, real-time documentation across all systems so nothing falls through the cracks 

• Partner directly with health plans to resolve benefits, claims, and billing questions on members' behalf 

• Handle escalated or sensitive situations with sound judgment and genuine empathy 

• Maintain strict HIPAA compliance and the highest standard of professionalism in every interaction 

• Hit individual call and conversion metrics while contributing to team goals 

• Participate actively in ongoing training and development 

 

Why You'll Love Coming Into the Office 

• Our Dallas office has energy.  This is a floor that celebrates wins out loud, not a quiet room of headsets. 

• Live coaching, on the spot and feedback right after a tough call instead of waiting on a scheduled review. 

• The fastest lane to promotion.  Leadership sees your work in real time, so growth into Training, QA, or Ops happens quicker here than almost anywhere 

• Built-in mentorship from advocates and supervisors who'll teach you the moves that actually close calls: objection-handling, recovery lines, rebuttal scripts that work 

• Shout-outs, team lunches, and milestone celebrations that hit completely different in person. 

• You're getting in early. You're joining as we bring our advocate teams together under one roof in Dallas, which means you help shape the culture, not just join it.
