  • Act as a point of escalation for urgent or high-risk cases.
  • Identify knowledge gaps and offer real-time coaching and support.
  • Share feedback and insights with Operational Leads to drive continuous improvement.
  • Be a role model for best practice in case handling and communication.

  • Represent Healix with professionalism and integrity in every interaction.


Compliance & Administration

  • Ensure all case files are accurate and compliant with internal policies.
  • Monitor and manage case costs and reserves effectively.
