GoHealth Urgent Care hires remote Patient Account Specialists (billing/collections support) with a detailed, published internet-requirements policy for call center employees.

What GoHealth Urgent Care actually says

“A hardwired (Ethernet) connection is mandatory to ensure stability and reliability. Wireless (Wi-Fi) connections are not permitted for work purposes due to potential signal fluctuations, interference, and latency issues. Minimum Internet Speed: Download speed: At least 100 Mbps. Upload speed: At least 10 Mbps. The network latency must not exceed 100ms.”— GoHealth Urgent Care — Patient Account Specialist (via Jobicy) · source

One of the most detailed published internet policies among employers on this site: it also asks for a backup internet source and periodic speed-test compliance checks. Note: this is a distinct company from the GoHealth Medicare insurance marketplace.

What passes for GoHealth Urgent Care

A wired connection — fiber, cable, or DSL — with an Ethernet cable from your computer to the router. Fiber is the strongest fit: upload speed matches download, latency stays low and consistent, and weather doesn't affect it.

If you're on satellite, a cellular hotspot, or 5G home internet, no speed test will get you past GoHealth Urgent Care's rule — the connection type is what's being checked. The fix is a wired line, installed with the Ethernet connection in the room where you'll work.

Before your GoHealth Urgent Care tech check

  1. Confirm a wired provider reaches your address.
  2. Run Ethernet to your workspace — not just to the router's room.
  3. Turn off Wi-Fi and any VPN on the work computer.
  4. Run a speed test on the wired line (target: at least 100 Mbps down / 10 Mbps up) and screenshot it.

GoHealth Urgent Care internet questions, answered

No. GoHealth Urgent Care requires your work computer to be connected to the router with an Ethernet cable. A strong Wi-Fi signal does not satisfy the rule, because the check looks at how the computer is connected rather than how fast the line is.

At least 100 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload, with latency at or below 100 ms. The exact minimum can vary by client program, so confirm against the job listing you are applying to.

No. GoHealth Urgent Care excludes satellite service by policy, regardless of the speeds it delivers. This is a rule about connection type, so no speed test will get you past it.

No. Hotspots and 5G home internet are cellular services that share capacity on a tower, so GoHealth Urgent Care cannot guarantee a shift on them. They are excluded even when a speed test looks good.
