Pros

The company is making a positive impact on patients by greatly improving the path doctor’s offices must take to provide (insurance-paid) care to patients.

Cons

Think old school call center when you’re considering an Intake Specialist or other entry-level job at Cohere. Amazing company doing great things for health tech, but their CS dept isn’t a long-term solution for those with career goals and aspirations. The low pay is sad, and the camera requirement is weird (creates an environment of low or no trust from the outset). There’s no room for thinking, autonomy, or creative solutions in this job, so if you’re looking for something like that, this is for you.

Pros

Remote position, effective AI tools

Cons

Aggressive productivity standards enacted after being employed for a short time: 2 months. Low pay compared to similar work at other legacy insurance companies. You are told when training that as long as you follow the Work Instructions and ensure doing the prior authorizations correctly- you will be fine. But Work Instructions are NOT updated, then it is challenging to find the answer. Slack is used for searching and asking questions, or visiting one of the multiple Zoom rooms. You are on camera for entire shift in a Zoom room. It seemed to me leadership does not care about precision and doing the job thouroughly but more so doing as many cases as possible- yet you are audited to do cases a certain way and that certain way differs from one Subject Matter Expert (SME) to another. The nurses are teaching the AI chatbot how to get smarter and take over doing the simpler cases, But the chatbot assists the nurses as well all while the nurses are teaching the chatbot.
