Care Team Lead
Location and time
Remote, part-time. A few hours a week, set around your schedule.

What you will do

  • Place referrals and confirm the specialist received everything they need.
  • Request, track and file medical records from other providers.
  • Follow up on prior authorizations with insurers.
  • Call patients after visits and hospital discharges using approved scripts, and schedule their appointments.
  • Keep each request answered or escalated within a business day, and document every step.
  • Route every clinical question to the practice's clinician, and follow our urgent-case protocol without delay.
  • Help write down the care team's protocols as you learn the work.
  • Tell the product team where the software slows the care team down.

What you bring

  • Formal clinical training, such as nursing, medical or allied health school, and hands-on patient care experience. A medical assistant certificate or an active RN license is a plus.
  • Clear, calm communication with patients, families and practice staff.
  • Careful, organized work and steady follow-through.
  • Comfort with software and remote work.
