Full Job Description

Company Description

About Patient Funding Alternatives (PFA)
At Patient Funding Alternatives (PFA), we remove the barriers that keep Medicaid-eligible and medically underserved individuals from getting the care they deserve. We partner with hospitals and health systems across the country to help patients secure coverage through employer-sponsored insurance — simplifying the process, protecting patients, and strengthening hospital outcomes.

As the only organization in the U.S. offering a full Premium Assistance Enrollment service supported by dedicated Patient Advocates within partner hospitals, we make access to coverage easier, faster, and more compassionate.

PFA is growing rapidly nationwide, and our success is built on people who care deeply about helping others. We believe our employees are our most valuable resource, and we’re committed to maintaining a healthy work/life balance within a culture grounded in empathy, teamwork, and respect.

If you’re passionate about guiding patients through complex healthcare systems, advocating for fairness, and making a measurable impact every day — PFA is where you belong.

Job Description

The Patient Advocate Specialist plays a critical role in identifying, educating, and enrolling eligible hospital patients into the Health Insurance Premium Payment (HIPP) Program. This is a full-time, 4-day-per-week on-site role based at Emory Hospitals in the Atlanta area (Emory University Hospital, Emory University Hospital Midtown, Emory Decatur Hospital), where you’ll work directly with patients and hospital partners. You'll clearly explain program details, gather required documentation, and serve as a compassionate, professional advocate throughout each step of the enrollment process.

This role demands mission-driven advocacy, proactive problem-solving, empathetic communication, and resilience—all while balancing compassion with an urgency to ensure patients receive timely support. By facilitating employer-sponsored health insurance coverage, the Patient Helper Program helps medically complex Medicaid beneficiaries access comprehensive care.

We’re looking for driven individuals with a “can-do” spirit, unwavering perseverance, and the capacity to support diverse patient populations navigating complex healthcare systems.

Employ proactive problem-solving to overcome barriers and ensure timely, accurate submissions.

Consistently deliver against performance metrics such as enrollments completed, case resolution time, and documentation accuracy.

Program Maintenance & Benefit Coordination

Clarify how employer-provided health insurance works in coordination with Medicaid.
Verify and update ongoing patient eligibility for HIPP to maintain continuity.
Assist with resolving insurance-related issues upon request from patients or clients.

Technology & Documentation

Utilize PFA’s CRM/case management system to manage referrals and patient records.
Upload, scan, and securely transmit required documentation.
Record patient interactions meticulously in compliance with privacy and legal standards.
Efficiently operate Apple tools such as iPads and iPhones for enrollment-related tasks.

Client & Hospital Relationship Management

Represent PFA as the onsite contact at the hospital.
Establish and maintain collaborative relationships with hospital staff, state agency personnel, and community partners.
Always uphold the organization’s values with ethical integrity and professionalism.

Three-Five years’ experience in patient-facing roles within a healthcare setting.
Full Bilingual proficiency in Spanish is strongly preferred.
