We do not currently contract with anyone outside of the US.

    Hours of Operation

    As an independent contractor, you’ll have the flexibility to manage your own schedule within the client’s hours of operation , which are Monday through Friday from 8 : 00 AM to 8 : 00 PM ET. Within those hours of operation, you’ll determine your own schedule, provided you meet each of the following third-party client requirements :

  • Service a minimum of 6 hours each day, Monday through Friday
  • Ensure your schedule aligns with the calls you’ve scheduled with each of your patients

    Pay & Perks

    Patient Resource Specialists invoice at a rate of $15 per hour , with the opportunity to earn additional incentives each month for reaching client-determined goals.

    Plus, your remote, independent contractor status allows you to work in the comfort of your own home.

    You’ll enjoy significant savings in expenses related to transportation, clothing, childcare or eldercare, and food. You may also qualify for home office tax deductions, but you should consult with an accountant to determine eligibility. In addition, you’ll receive :

  • One-on-one mentorship
  • Free certification to provide you with the information you need to be successful as a Patient Resource Specialist. Certification runs for 5 weeks, Monday-Friday from 9am-4pm ET . In the 5th week, you’ll service a set schedule that will include a mix of handling calls in Supported Production and then coming back together with the certification group to discuss your calls and experiences. This will give you an opportunity to reinforce your knowledge and get comfortable with calls before providing services independently.
  • Supported Production , which occurs after certification, runs for two weeks on the following schedule :
  • Week 1 : Monday-Friday, 9am-4pm ET
  • Week 2 : Set your own schedule within the client’s hours of operation (Monday-Friday, 8am-8pm ET)
  • The opportunity to earn up to $1,300 of incentives by reaching the milestones below :
  • Completing the first two weeks of certification : $100
  • Completing the second two weeks of certification : $100
  • Completing supported production : $100
  • Completing 45 days of service : $1,000
  • Earn $15 per hour for hours serviced in Supported Production during week 5 of certification, and hours serviced in the two weeks of regular Supported Production.
  • You’ll also be able to take advantage of NexRep Perks, a program that recognizes the service provided by independent contractors to NexRep’s clients and their customers via the NexRep Marketplace platform. With the NexRep Perks program, you’ll have the opportunity to earn Perks points. As those points add up, you’ll unlock access to Perks – exclusive discounts and savings on a variety of common expenses such as banking services, legal support, technical support, and more!

    Please note that NexRep is connecting independent contractors to exclusive discounts and savings opportunities and is not providing employee benefits nor establishing an employee benefit program. Each independent contractor makes their own decision whether to engage with a Perks Partner. NexRep receives no compensation in any form from the Perks Program.
