Position Summary

As a Medicare Customer Service Representative at arenaflex, you will serve as the first point of contact for Medicare members seeking assistance with claims, benefits, enrollment, ID cards, member portal navigation, and general inquiries. This is not a sales role — it is a high-touch, inbound-only service position focused entirely on resolving member issues with professionalism, accuracy, and empathy. You will handle calls in a structured contact center environment, working across multiple integrated systems to deliver comprehensive answers in a single interaction whenever possible.

This contract-to-hire opportunity begins with a 3-month contract period, after which high-performing candidates may be converted to full-time employee status with arenaflex. The Medicare department operates seven days a week, offering representatives flexible scheduling across a variety of shifts.

Key Responsibilities

• Handle inbound calls from Medicare members in a courteous, professional, and empathetic manner, maintaining arenaflex’s five-star service standard on every interaction.
• Assist members with a wide range of inquiries including claims status, benefit explanations, enrollment questions, member portal troubleshooting, and ID card requests.
• Navigate multiple computer systems simultaneously to research member accounts, verify eligibility, and provide accurate, real-time resolutions.
• Document all member interactions thoroughly and accurately within arenaflex’s CRM and case management platforms.
• Identify and escalate complex or sensitive issues to appropriate departments, following established escalation protocols.
• Demonstrate strong problem-solving skills by proactively identifying member needs and offering clear, actionable solutions.
• Maintain confidentiality and compliance with HIPAA regulations and arenaflex’s data security standards at all times.
• Participate in ongoing training, coaching sessions, and quality assurance reviews to continuously improve performance.
• Meet and exceed key performance indicators (KPIs) related to call handling time, quality scores, first-call resolution, and member satisfaction.
• Adapt to evolving Medicare regulations, plan updates, and internal procedural changes through continuous learning.

• Daytime shifts
• One late evening shift per week
• One weekend shift (either Saturday or Sunday)

The standard workweek consists of 37.5 hours, with overtime opportunities frequently available and occasionally required when business needs exceed 40 hours per week. This schedule structure provides predictable income while offering flexibility for those who enjoy variety in their workday.
