Home Health Intake Coordinator

Golden Valley, United States Job Title: Home Health Intake Coordinator | Turn Referrals Into Care Compensation: $24–$28 per hour To Stand Out A Referral Is Just a Piece of Paper Until Someone Makes Care Happen. A patient is discharging from the hospital. A physician sends an order for home health. A family is waiting to find out when someone will arrive. Nursing needs to be coordinated. Therapy may need to be scheduled. Insurance needs to be verified. Documentation needs to be complete. And everyone wants an answer: How quickly can we get this patient taken care of? That's where you come in. As a Home Health Intake Coordinator with Home Health Care, Inc. , you'll be one of the first people responsible for turning a new referral into an organized plan of care. You'll help move patients from “referred” to “ready for care.” Be the Person Who Keeps Everything Moving Great intake coordinators know how to manage a lot of moving pieces without losing sight of the patient behind them. You'll communicate with hospitals, physicians, referral partners, clinicians, patients, and families to make sure we have what we need to begin care. Your day may include: Reviewing incoming home health referrals Determining whether referrals meet admission criteria Verifying payer and reimbursement eligibility Tracking down missing orders or medical documentation Communicating with referral sources Speaking with patients and families during intake Coordinating the appropriate nursing, therapy, or aide services Scheduling visits according to discipline and frequency requirements Entering accurate information into the EMR Helping resolve barriers that could delay the start of care Every detail you handle correctly helps a clinician get through the patient's door faster. If You Like Fast-Paced Healthcare, You'll Understand This Role Intake isn't a position where everything arrives neatly one task at a time. Priorities change. A new referral comes in. A hospital needs an answer. Documentation is missing. A schedule needs to be adjusted. A family calls with a question. Then another referral hits your desk. If you're someone who can prioritize quickly, communicate clearly, stay organized, and keep things moving , those skills are incredibly valuable here. Why Join Home Health Care, Inc.?
