We are intensely focused on optimizing the physical + mental + financial wellbeing of those who want (and deserve) something better than the status quo. If you are ready to roll up your sleeves and take on our audacious mission, we would love to hear from you.

The Role

The Member Guide Associate serves as Firefly Health's frontline, playing a critical role in supporting members through their healthcare journey and ensuring the smooth resolution of varying types of inquiries. This position requires an individual with strong attention to detail, a curious and action-oriented mindset, and the ability to take ownership of tasks from start to finish.

You will be responsible for helping members understand Firefly's unique approach to healthcare, ensuring they feel supported in understanding their benefits, getting them to the right internal team and answers, and also investigating and resolving billing and claims inquiries all within established service level agreements (SLAs). This role demands a true subject matter expert who can pivot seamlessly between explaining plan designs to a member and digging into technical claims adjudication issues with providers.

You will:

Member & Provider Support

Serve as the first point of contact for member and provider inquiries, delivering support with professionalism and empathy
Educate members on their benefits—including deductibles, copays, coinsurance, Firefly Care Keys, and plan rules—through clear verbal and written communication
Use Summary Plan Documents (SPDs) and internal knowledge base resources (Guru) to help members understand and maximize their Firefly health plan benefits

Claims Inquiry Management:

Capture, document, and triage claims inquiries from members and providers within SLA
Research claim details in internal and TPA systems to address technical questions and identify root causes
Compare and analyze claims data to resolve disputes and coordinate solutions across internal teams

Product & Technology Operations

Leverage trends in inbound inquiries to identify root causes and recommend process improvements to reduce volume and enhance workflows
Provide feedback to enhance internal systems, tools, and claims workflows

Customer Experience Excellence

Deliver empathetic, thorough support—often during stressful moments in a member's healthcare journey
Proactively follow up on open issues to ensure complete resolution and member satisfaction
Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure seamless handling of issues across teams

You'd be a good fit if:

You have a minimum of 2 years of experience in health plans, benefits, claims management, or customer service—ideally in a startup or growth-stage environment
You can work weekend shifts
You have strong fluency in health insurance terminology (accumulators, OOP max, deductible, PPO/HMO networks, etc.) and can explain these clearly
You are highly proficient with Google Workspace, CRM/ticketing systems, claims portals, Slack, IVR/telephony tools, and internal knowledge bases
You have excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to convey complex information clearly
You're a structured and meticulous problem-solver with strong attention to detail
You take initiative, follow through, and thrive in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment
You care deeply about delivering an exceptional member and provider experience with patience and compassion

It'd be nice if:

You've worked with third-party administrators (TPAs) or in claims adjudication workflows
You have experience using Looker or similar analytics tools to dig into raw data
You have prior exposure to early-stage or rapidly scaling healthcare organizations
You enjoy optimizing processes, creating documentation, or contributing to operational improvements
