Rana Kairouz
@ranakairouz
Admissions coordinator delivering empathetic, high-volume intake support in mental health care.
What I'm looking for
I coordinate admissions and patient-facing intake with a focus on eligibility, insurance verification, and clear, compassionate communication. I’m comfortable in fast-paced environments and I keep processes organized so clients and families feel supported from first contact.
In my recent roles, I’ve managed phone-based assessment screenings, handled high-volume inbound and outbound calls, processed faxes, and maintained up-to-date electronic records in line with company and regulatory standards. I also collaborate with teams to support case coordination and continuity of care.
I bring strong customer service excellence, empathy, and cultural sensitivity, plus “conflict resolution and problem-solving abilities” from both my work experience and my psychology background. I’m motivated to keep appointments, referrals, and documentation running smoothly while delivering professional, client-centered guidance.
