Our employee of the month distinction goes to Kimmie Green!

Kimmie excels at her job as a Patient Experience Specialist, where she helps patients navigate the complex and often overwhelming world of insurance and the healthcare system.

As a Patient Experience Specialist, Kimmie has many daily responsibilities that require outstanding organizational and communication skills and an empathetic demeanor.

Congratulations to Kimmie Green

Her key responsibilities include:

  • Verify patient insurance coverage and collect all insurance information
  • Gather all pertinent information from patients prior to their infusion appointment to ensure they receive their treatments on time
  • Maintain communication channels with patients to inform them of financial responsibilities and their appointments
  • Provide eligible patients with the assistance necessary to enroll in copay assistance programs for their high-cost medications
  • Be the primary point of contact between the doctor’s office, the patient, and our corporate office
  • Request and process any referrals needed by HMO plans
  • Answers patients’ and payers’ calls, addresses concerns, and provides answers and solutions to their questions
  • Works closely with internal departments to include unscheduled patients so they can receive their infusion therapy on time. Additionally, Kimmie is responsible for addressing any concerns related to delays in service

That list of responsibilities is why patient care specialists are our first line of defense when it comes to treating each patient like family.
