• Identify patients approaching Medicaid renewal and proactively assist with redetermination requirements.
• Conduct outreach to patients regarding renewal deadlines and required documentation.
• Assist uninsured and underinsured patients with Medicaid, Medicare, Marketplace, and other eligible coverage applications and renewals.
• Identify patients at risk of losing coverage and help address barriers before coverage lapses.
• Review self-pay patients for potential insurance eligibility and connect them with appropriate coverage options.
• Refer uninsured patients for Sliding Fee Discount Program screening when appropriate.
• Help patients understand coverage requirements, renewal deadlines, documentation needs, and available insurance resources.
• Assist patients with navigating insurance and enrollment processes.
• Provide respectful, patient-centered support to individuals from diverse backgrounds and circumstances.
