Healthcare is not limited to hospitals, exam rooms or jobs that require direct patient care. A growing part of the industry happens behind the scenes, and some of that work can be done remotely.
In Week 1 of Jobs You May Be Overlooking, we explored remote careers beyond software, sales and marketing. Healthcare opens up even more job titles that remote workers may not think to search.
Remote Patient Scheduler
Patient schedulers coordinate appointments, referrals and follow-up calls for hospitals, clinics and medical practices.
Strong communication and organizational skills are important, along with the ability to work with scheduling software and patient information.
Related titles include appointment scheduler, patient services coordinator and referral coordinator.
Medical Billing Specialist
Medical billing specialists help process healthcare charges, insurance information and payments.
Some employers require previous billing experience or certification, while others may provide training depending on the position.
You may also see titles such as reimbursement specialist, billing representative or revenue cycle associate.
Credentialing Coordinator
Credentialing teams verify the licenses, education and professional qualifications of healthcare providers.
Because much of the work involves documentation, databases and communication, some credentialing positions can be performed remotely.
Related searches include provider enrollment specialist, credentialing assistant and medical staff coordinator.
Healthcare Claims Processor
Claims processors review healthcare or insurance documentation and help claims move through the system.
The work typically requires accuracy, organization and attention to detail. Similar roles include claims examiner, insurance specialist and benefits processor.
Remote Care Coordinator
Some care coordination roles involve helping patients understand appointments, services, benefits or next steps without providing clinical care.
Requirements vary significantly. Some positions require nursing or other healthcare credentials, while others are administrative or service-focused.
Healthcare Customer Support
Insurance companies, healthcare systems, pharmacies and health technology companies all need teams that help patients and members understand services.
Job titles can include member services representative, patient support specialist, benefits representative and healthcare customer service specialist.
