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:

- 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

- 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’ve worked with third-party administrators (TPAs) or in claims adjudication workflows.
