Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM–5:00 PM EST (subject to business needs)
Location: Hybrid (Syracuse, NY) — 3 days onsite / 2 days remote following 90-day successful completion of onsite training
We're looking for a Patient Referral Coordinator who wants their work to mean something — someone who brings care, accountability, and purpose to what they do every day.

Why This Role Matters

The Patient Referral Coordinator plays a vital role in ensuring patients are ready for care — clinically, administratively, and financially — before services begin. By coordinating referrals accurately and efficiently, this role helps remove barriers to treatment and supports a smooth, patient‑first experience.

In this role, you'll contribute to work that:

• Helps patients feel seen, informed, and supported as they begin care
• Builds trust with clinicians and referral partners through accuracy and clear communication
• Enables timely, compliant care delivery in a growing, clinician‑led organization

Everything you do connects directly to real people navigating complex healthcare journeys — and your work helps ensure that care can begin with confidence.

What You'll Do

In this role, you will:

• Ensure patient referrals are fully prepared for service by gathering required documentation, confirming insurance coverage, and securing authorizations in compliance with all regulatory requirements
• Coordinate new infusion and enteral referrals from intake through initial processing, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and clarity at every step
• Collaborate closely with referral sources, hospital liaisons, pharmacy, nursing, billing, and branch teams to support seamless care delivery
• Communicate coverage details and financial obligations clearly to patients or their representatives, ensuring understanding and agreement prior to service
• Maintain accurate patient records, referral logs, and authorization tracking to support timely billing and reduce delays in reimbursement
• Identify opportunities to improve intake and referral workflows while maintaining high standards of service and compliance
• Bring reliability, follow‑through, and thoughtful problem‑solving to your daily work

What We're Looking For

You may be a great fit if you bring:

• A deep commitment to the human impact of your work and to supporting patients through complex processes
• Strong communication and collaboration skills across clinical, operational, and external partners
• Ownership and accountability in managing referrals, documentation, and deadlines
• Comfort learning and adapting in a fast‑paced healthcare environment
• A desire to contribute to a team that values empathy, accuracy, and high standards

Qualifications

• Associate's degree in Business, Healthcare Services, or a related field required
• Minimum of one (1) year of healthcare experience required
• Strong knowledge of payer requirements related to billing, authorizations, and coverage
• Proficiency with computer systems and documentation accuracy
• Strong organizational, multitasking, and problem‑resolution skills

Preferred

• Two (2) or more years of experience with a home care or infusion provider
• Prior home infusion experience on the provider or payer side

You don't need to check every box — we care just as much about how you show up as what's on your resume.
