Work Schedule

  • Full-time, 100% FTE (40 hours per week)
  • Monday–Friday; 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

We are currently hiring for locations:

  • Harborview Medical Center
  • UWMC Montlake
  • UWMC Northwest

What You’ll Do As a Patient Financial Counselor, you will work directly with uninsured and underinsured patients to identify insurance and financial assistance options, guide them through application processes, and help reduce barriers to care. You will also partner closely with internal teams and colleagues throughout UW Medicine to support patient access and financial counseling needs.

This role combines customer service, problem-solving, and healthcare patient access and revenue cycle expertise in a fast-paced, patient-centered environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Assist patients in determining program eligibility and enrollment in insurance and other applicable funding sources, including Medicaid, Apple Health, and Marketplace Exchange programs
  • Serve as a customer service resource for patients, families, and internal UW Medicine departments

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
