Make a difference every day by supporting members during some of their most important moments.
Join our award‑winning Member Services Team as a Health Care Concierge, the voice of UPMC Health Plan. In this role, you’ll help members understand their health coverage, solve problems, and navigate their benefits with confidence.

This is a high‑volume, phone‑based role where you’ll spend most of your day on calls, providing clear, compassionate, and knowledgeable support.

What You’ll Do

  • Respond to high volumes of incoming calls, emails, and chats from members and providers
  • Help members understand benefits, claims, prior authorizations, billing, and coverage details
  • Resolve issues accurately and efficiently to avoid repeat calls
  • Document all interactions while listening and responding in real time
  • Navigate multiple computer systems at once
  • Make outbound follow‑up calls when needed
  • Stay informed on policies, products, and system updates
  • Deliver professional, empathetic service—every call, every time
     

     What Makes This Role Challenging and Rewarding

As an HCCA, you’ll become an expert across many areas of health insurance. No two calls are the same, you may shift from claims questions to provider searches to complex benefits conversations within minutes. Success requires staying focused, thinking critically, and handling constant change.

  • Composure under pressure — managing difficult conversations with empathy and professionalism
  • Communication skills — breaking down complex insurance terms into easy, supportive explanations

     

     

    Please note: You will spend the entire day working on a computer while managing back‑to‑back calls. Accuracy, focus, and attention to detail are essential in this fast‑paced environment.

Work Environment Expectations

  • Because this is a fast‑paced, high‑volume phone position:
  • Interruptions, competing responsibilities, or background noise can’t interfere with call flow
    A quiet, private, interruption‑free workspace is required for success
     

What You Need to Know

  • Pay: Set rate of $20.70/hour
  • Hours of Operation: 7 days a week, 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM
  • Location: Must live within 90 miles of Pittsburgh or Erie
  • Work Environment: Hybrid Role: Remote day-to-day work with occasional on‑site needs for technology or operational reasons.
    Schedule: You will be assigned variable 8‑hour shifts, which includes daylight, evening, and rotating weekends
    • Weekend schedules typically include 1–2 weekends per month, scheduled as either a Saturday or a Sunday
    • Mandatory Overtime:
      • 30–90 minutes of mandatory overtime per day, scheduled weekly
    • Holiday Coverage:
      • Availability to work certain holidays is required, including New Year’s Day and Martin Luther King Jr. Day
  • Training: Paid, comprehensive on‑the‑job training
