Administrative Services

Do you find satisfaction in bringing order to complexity—turning scattered details into seamless outcomes? As a HME Customer Care Representative at Banner Health, you won't just process requests—you'll be the driving force that ensures patients receive the right medical equipment at the right time. Every day, you'll bridge the gap between patients, providers, insurers, and clinical teams, transforming a maze of authorizations, pre-certifications, and insurance verifications into a clear, coordinated path forward.

This role is built for someone who thinks three steps ahead. You'll build and manage equipment orders with precision, identify smart product alternatives that enhance patient outcomes, and partner with dispatch and clinical staff to set expectations that actually hold. Your fluency in medical terminology isn't just a checkbox—it's the language you'll use to advocate, problem-solve, and deliver results when timing matters most.

If you're someone who measures a great day by how many people you helped get what they needed—and how smoothly you made it happen—Banner Health is where your skills create real impact.
