ABOUT THIS TEMPORARY POSITION

This is a temporary position, and the length of the assignment is estimated to start in September 2026 through December 2026.

This is a primarily in-person role requiring daily on-site presence at our Merced office for the first 3 months. After that period, you may be able to work remotely 1-2 days a week, depending on business needs.

• Act as the frontline customer service representative within the Member Services Department, providing assistance to members and providers primarily by phone
• Facilitate and coordinate non-medical transportation benefits for members
• Perform other duties as assigned

ABOUT THE TEAM

Our Member Services teams work together to empower members to understand Alliance services and provide resources that meet medical, cultural, and social needs to improve member health and well-being. We are the voice of the Alliance. We view our members' healthcare from their perspective and provide direct support by sharing benefit information and helping break down barriers to care. When a member calls, we're the ones who pick up the phone. We provide information that educates and empowers our members to be advocates for themselves and their health care. And we do it with heart!
