Meet Nellie Coronel, a Bilingual Member Care Specialist
Posted on July 27, 2020 - Community and Culture, Consumerism, Delivery of Health CareTrying to navigate the complexities of the health care system can be challenging for anyone. But when English is not your native language, trying to find answers to your health insurance questions can be even more difficult.
Nellie Coronel understands this firsthand. Her parents are from Ecuador and sometimes lean on her bilingual skills to help interpret their health-related questions.
“I see them struggle with the language barrier and it can be frustrating for them.”
Helping her own parents is part of what inspired Nellie to become a Bilingual Member Care Specialist at Florida Blue. In her role, she assists members with their billing questions, helps them find in-network providers and directs them where they can go for medical care and lab work.
“I enjoy the fact that I can help them with their claim information or with pharmacy issues and just make their life a little bit easier,” she said.
