About the Role:

The Tier 2 Customer Service Representative is the first escalation point for phone calls and digital engagements, a resource for Customer Service Representative I (CSR I) team members, and the owner of pharmacy operations follow-up for orders that do not move through fulfillment on their own. CSR II assists the cases a CSR I cannot resolve within their authority, works with our partner pharmacies to resolve order issues and settle shipment claims, and contacts patients whose orders are held for address or other information problems. This role also carries live chat coverage in addition to phone and queue work. Like CSR I, this role is non-clinical and covers all five telehealth verticals - weight management, women’s health, men’s health, urgent care, and mental health. This representative does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment guidance.

Responsibilities:

• Frontline support - 80% of the role will remain handling inbound customer calls and messages, while acting as an additional resource for CSR1 chat questions while TLs and Supervisors aren’t available
• Serve as the first escalation point - take escalations from CSR I team members on calls, chats, email, SMS, and portal messages, and take over the engagement when the patient needs a higher level of authority or a more experienced hand.
• Resolve escalated situations - handle upset or escalated patients, billing and refund exceptions above CSR I authority, and complex account issues, using de-escalation skills in both live and written conversation.
• Escalate clinical concerns immediately - route clinical questions, adverse events, and safety/urgent concerns directly to licensed clinical staff per escalation protocol, regardless of channel. Clinical escalations do not pass through CSR II first.
• Hand off beyond-authority cases - pass cases beyond CSR II authority to the Customer Service Team Lead with a complete summary, so the patient does not have to repeat their story.
• Support CSR I team members - answer process, policy, and system questions in real time and point CSR I to the correct knowledge base article, SOP, or resource. This is peer support, with no formal supervisory authority over CSR I.
• Improve knowledge resources - report knowledge base gaps, outdated articles, and recurring CSR I questions to the Team Lead.
• Escalate stuck orders to the pharmacy - identify orders stalled in processing or fulfillment and escalate them to the responsible pharmacy through that pharmacy’s designated channel (email for some pharmacies, Jira for others), then track each escalation to resolution.
• Manage shipment claims - file claims for lost, damaged, and delayed shipments, monitor each claim’s progress, and make the adjustments needed to keep replacements, reships, and refunds in line with the SOP.
• Run stuck order patient outreach - contact patients whose orders are held for bad addresses, incomplete addresses, or other missing information by phone, SMS, and patient portal message, collect the corrected details, and pass them to the pharmacy so the order can ship.
• Staff live chat - cover live chat during assigned shifts and manage multiple concurrent chats while keeping quality and empathy on every conversation.
• Respond to inbound contacts across every channel - phone, live chat, email, SMS, and in-app/patient portal messaging - across all five verticals, meeting channel-specific SLAs (real-time for phone and chat; asynchronous windows for email and SMS).
• Make outbound calls - for appointment reminders, onboard…
