Use your writing, empathy, and organizational skills to make a real difference

- Track deadlines, regulations, and case progress to ensure full compliance.
- Maintain accurate spreadsheet data for office statistics and reporting.
What You Bring
- Experience in claims processing, appeals, case management, or a related field (preferred).
- Strong writing and communication skills — you’re comfortable explaining complex processes in a human, accessible way.
- The ability to manage multiple cases with calm, steady organization.
- High attention to detail and solid follow‑through.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office and the ability to type at least 50 wpm.
- A genuine desire to support people during vulnerable moments.
