Who We Are:
Synapse exists to make DME simpler and more connected for everyone involved, from patients and providers to health plans and suppliers. Through our technology platform, we make sure patients receive the right product, at the right time, in the right amount. We've reached real scale, but there's still a lot left to build, which means the work here has visible impact, not incremental polish.
In this role, you're the direct connection between patients, providers, and health plans, and the impact is tangible and immediate. Your input shapes how things run day to day, and from first touch to delivery, you'll help earn the trust of every patient we serve.
Since 2016, with decades of industry and leadership experience, we've delivered tech-based solutions that help our partners to modernize operations, improve coordination, and reduce administrative burdens. By taking on operational and financial complexity, we're redefining how DME works for providers, prescribers, and patients. We are proud to offer work that matters, on a mission that matters.

- Build trust with patients during vulnerable moments in their care journey, acting as a knowledgeable and compassionate guide through their DME experience.
- Document all patient interactions, call notes, and outcomes accurately and thoroughly within internal systems and tracking tools.
- Meet or exceed individual and team performance goals, including outbound call volume, patient engagement rates, portal adoption metrics, payment collection, and quality scores.
- Identify and escalate patient barriers to care or complex service issues, routing to appropriate team members when needed.
- Participate in ongoing coaching, call quality monitoring, and training programs to continuously improve skills and performance.
- Collaborate effectively with Customer Experience team members and cross-functional partners to ensure patients receive seamless, high-quality support.
- Maintain strict confidentiality of patient health information and consistently adhere to HIPAA and organizational privacy standards.
- Contribute to continuous improvement efforts by surfacing recurring patient questions, process gaps, or campaign insights.
- Perform additional duties as assigned to support team and organizational objectives.
