Our Ways of Working

We’re a remote-first company with team members located across the United States spanning multiple time zones. We know how valuable the flexibility of remote work is for our employees so people can get the work done in the way that suits them best. 

We also know that personal connection is the foundation for the great work we do together. In order to build community and collaboration, we gather in person two times a year at a full company offsite and a departmental offsite. These offsites are expected of employees and are great opportunities to meet the people you work with every day and to do some of the work that is much more difficult to do virtually. 

What the Role Is

Following our strategic acquisition of a durable medical equipment company last year, Babylist entered the healthcare and wellness industry for the first time. Babylist Health is now live! This ambitious new offering opens doors in the healthcare market with the opportunity to offer additional health services and products for people in this life stage.

At Babylist Health, we envision insurance transparency for all our patients and our Insurance Billing Specialist will conduct in depth insurance verification to achieve just that. This is a new role within the Babylist Health insurance billing and eligibility team, where you’ll be able to bring your expertise and create positive impact within our insurance eligibility and billing processes/procedures. This person will report directly to the Insurance Claim Recovery Manager and will work closely with other departments to provide the best possible patient experience.
