In this career, you may do an initial evaluation to assess the needs of each patient, collect documentation, and facilitate referrals if necessary. Your responsibilities could also involve insurance verification or the collection of other administrative information. This position is common in the medical field in hospitals and clinics. You may also find employment in mental health facilities, crisis centers, and nursing homes.
