The Christ Hospital Health Network Pre-Services Coordinator provides the highest level of customer service to our patients.   This individual understands that this patient interaction often determines the tone for the patients’ healthcare experience.  This position has contact with the patient to schedule their ordered services.  This includes coordinating pre-service appointments necessary in advance of the ordered service.  Additionally, demographic information is obtained from the patient and entered into the computer system that is necessary to support the care of the patient, billing process, and minimizing the amount of information that must be collected when the patient presents for service.   Lastly, this position collects payment from the patient as determined by the estimate and arranges payment plans as necessary based on the patient’s current financial situation. This position must also have expert knowledge of insurance plans, insurance regulations, and insurance benefit and coverages as they relate to the service rendered, so that the patients cost for the service can be explained in a manner that the patient understands and agrees to.  These conversations are detailed and sensitive conversations so this individual must have the confidence yet compassion to support these conversations.  This position is the single source of contact for our patients scheduling, pre-registration, and healthcare cost needs.
