I have a great passion for my job in Message Management.  I love assisting our members with their questions, concerns, and booking the appropriate appointments for them. It keeps me going. As I head into work, I wonder how I am going to make a difference in someone's life. All day long, I call members with their test results and help them with their prescription refill requests. Being able to help members during this hard time is very inspiring. I work closely with physicians to provide members with the appropriate plan of care.  I can tell this helps to alleviate some of their anxiety and stress.  It makes them feel like we care for their well-being at a time like this. Member satisfaction is our goal and priority, now more than ever.
