    • Follow up with patients about signatures or documents (as appropriate)
    • Keep records and tracking information organized
    • Work closely with the Eligibility Team
    • Protect patient privacy and confidentiality

    We’re Looking For Someone Who Is:

    • Organized and detail-oriented
    • Reliable and comfortable using a computer, google sheets
    • Friendly and professional with patients
    • Comfortable following procedures and asking questions when needed
    • Bilingual in English/Spanish or English/Korean is a plus

    Before beginning the role, the volunteer will receive training on:

    • BVMI eligibility procedures.
    • Athena document scanning and uploading.
    • Patient confidentiality and HIPAA.
    • BVMI telephone procedures.
    • Eligibility tracking sheets.

    Your time and attention to detail can help remove barriers and connect BVMI patients with the care they need.
