Health Navigator -Q

We are hiring a Health Navigator at BCBST!

In this role, you will support the BlueCare Plus team by helping members schedule wellness visits, coordinate follow-up care, and address their needs at home. You’ll act as a trusted guide, helping members understand their benefits, close gaps in care, and access the resources they need to live healthier lives.

You will serve as a key point of contact for members, motivating them to take important steps toward better health by helping overcome barriers such as scheduling appointments, finding providers, and connecting to the right programs. Every interaction you have will contribute to improved health outcomes and a better member experience.

To be successful in this role, you’ll bring strong communication skills, patience, and the ability to work independently. You will be a strong candidate if you have experience in customer service, a medical office setting, or working with senior populations, along with knowledge of medical terminology. Experience in healthcare, care coordination, member engagement, or population health will further strengthen your candidacy.
