The Role:

As an Admitting Rep handling Inpatient Registration you are a key member of the team responsible for the accuracy, flow, and professionalism of the patient access experience. Your work directly supports clinical care and revenue cycle readiness by ensuring registration and check-in steps are completed thoughtfully, correctly, and on time.

• Provide exceptional customer service across in person and telephone interactions, setting the tone for each visit.
• Collect and confirm demographic and insurance information to support clean registration and downstream billing workflows.
• Perform verification functions aligned with established scheduling/registration standards and unit guidelines.
• Complete visit documentation activities accurately and within expected timeframes.
