Patient Advocacy Specialist- Medmo (Spanish Fluency Required)

About the Role

As a Patient Advocacy Specialist working on the Medmo team, you’ll play a vital role in helping Medicaid members access the resources and support they need to improve their health and well-being.

In this role, you’ll serve as a trusted point of contact for members, helping them identify and navigate services that address a range of health-related and social needs. You’ll connect members with eligible community resources, including support related to nutrition, housing, transportation, and other essential services.

This is much more than a call-handling role. You’ll build meaningful relationships with members, listen to their needs, help remove barriers to care and support, and follow through to ensure they are connected to appropriate resources and have a positive experience. You’ll use empathy, sound judgment, and problem-solving skills to meet members where they are and help them take the next step toward better health outcomes.

You’ll work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where strong communication, resilience, and attention to detail are essential. If you’re passionate about helping people, enjoy building relationships, and are motivated by making a meaningful difference in your community, we’d love to meet you.

In This Role, You Will Be Expected To:

• Engage members in meaningful conversations to understand and identify health-related social needs. 
• Educate members about available resources and connect them with appropriate community-based organizations (CBOs) and social service programs. 
• Make referrals to CBOs based on member’s individual needs, eligibility, and preferences. 
• Follow up with members to support successful connections to referred services. 
• Document outreach attempts, member needs, referrals, and outcomes accurately and in accordance with established workflows and privacy requirements. 
• Answer member questions, resolve issues proactively, and remove barriers that may delay service coordination.
• Meet and exceed individual and team performance goals while maintaining a high standard of quality and empathy in every interaction.
• Become an expert in Covera Health/Medmo's products, workflows, and operational processes, continuously expanding your knowledge as our platform evolves.
• Identify opportunities to improve the patient experience by sharing insights and collaborating with leaders across Patient Experience, Product, Engineering, and Operations.
• Contribute to a culture of continuous improvement by helping refine workflows, documentation, and best practices.
• Work collaboratively across teams to deliver an exceptional experience for every patient we serve.
