Insurance Support Specialist (South Minneapolis)

South Minneapolis, MN

Insurance Support Specialist– Job Description

 
Employment Type: Full Time, Exempt
Level: Associate

Who we are: 
At Herself Health, we're on a mission to help women get more life out of life, together. We are building a new model of primary care for women on Medicare to solve long-standing problems: rushed appointments, long wait times, and care that's generalized rather than specialized towards women’s needs later in life such as post-menopausal care, bone density, weight management, and mental, social and emotional well-being. 

Our clinics are located across the Twin Cities in Highland Park (St. Paul), Lyndale (S. Minneapolis), Crystal, Roseville (Rosedale), and Eagan. Our team of 100+ colleagues is on a mission to innovate the primary care landscape for women on Medicare. We’re seeking like-minded individuals who share in this passion to join us!

About you:
As we grow, we’re looking for people who thrive at the intersection of patient care and complex problem-solving. You’re comfortable navigating Medicare and insurance systems, and you care about making that process easier for patients. You’re organized, empathetic, and know how to communicate clearly across a wide range of people and situations.

About the Insurance Support Specialist Role:  
We are seeking an Insurance Support Specialist to join our team at Herself Health. This role exists to make Medicare easier for our patients.

Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans come with real complexity: supplemental benefits patients don't know they have, plan assignments that need attention, cost-sharing questions that create confusion, and coverage gaps that can delay care. Insurance Support Specialists help patients navigate all of it. You'll guide patients through their coverage, connect them to benefits they're entitled to, and serve as a knowledgeable resource when insurance creates a barrier.

Some of your work happens directly with patients, and some happens behind the scenes in coordination with payers and our care teams.

This is a full-time, onsite role, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Educate and support patients through provider assignment and enrollment processes, including supporting end-to-end new patient onboarding
  • Reconcile plan rosters against practice panels and flag discrepancies or new-to-plan patients for follow-up
  • Educate patients on supplemental benefits available through their plan (dental, vision, OTC, transportation, fitness) and help them activate those benefits
  • Serve as an insurance navigator between patients and their plans, with particular support for high-risk and dual-eligible populations
  • Track and support LIS (Low Income Subsidy), mail-order pharmacy enrollment, and benefit utilization
  • Identify and escalate payer assignment issues or systemic plan barriers to the appropriate internal team
  • Help patients understand cost-sharing (copays, deductibles, out-of-pocket limits) and resolve billing or EOB confusion
  • Assist patients with pharmacy benefit navigation, including Extra Help applications and manufacturer assistance programs

Must-have Qualifications and Skills:

  • Strong customer service skills, with the ability to handle sensitive or complex situations with professionalism and empathy
  • Excellent communication skills across patients, clinical staff, and insurance contacts
  • Working knowledge of Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans, including supplemental benefits, dual eligibility, and Low Income Subsidy (LIS/Extra Help) programs
  • Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage a varied caseload with competing priorities
  • Comfort navigating ambiguous situations and identifying the right next step or escalation path

Nice-to-have Qualifications and Skills:

  • Experience with plan enrollment verification or insurance record reconciliation
  • Familiarity with pharmacy benefit programs, including mail-order and manufacturer assistance
  • Experience working in a CRM, Salesforce preferred
  • Experience with healthcare operations systems such as Athena Health
  • Associate’s or bachelor’s degree, or equivalent experience

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
