About Carewell

Our approach emphasizes compliance, scalability, and high-quality patient experiences while working in close partnership with clinicians and community resources to support better outcomes.
About the Role
This is a ground-floor opportunity to join a growing care navigation program and help define how patients experience it. As an Engagement Coordinator, you are responsible for the quality of the patient journey from their first appointment onward — ensuring they arrive prepared, that their eligibility is verified, that their care navigation visit gets scheduled, and that scheduling continuity is maintained throughout their time in the program. Depending on program needs, this role may also support care navigation activities in a clinical capacity.
The ideal candidate brings a clinical support background — Medical Assistant or equivalent — combined with strong communication skills and a genuine ability to build trust with older adults over the phone. You don't need to provide clinical guidance; you need to recognize when something requires it and escalate without hesitation. This role is a conversion and retention function that sits at the intersection of patient care and program operations.
What You'll DoEnrollment & Program Conversion
-
Conduct outbound outreach to prospective patients and leads to introduce the Carewell Care Navigation Program, explain program benefits and eligibility, and guide interested patients through the enrollment process
-
Manage the full enrollment conversation — from initial contact through consent collection and program confirmation — with clarity, warmth, and a patient-centered approach
-
Accurately explain program scope, what patients can expect from their Care Concierge, and how the program works in plain, accessible language
-
Identify and qualify eligible patients; document enrollment activity accurately and completely
-
Follow up with prospective patients who expressed interest but have not yet enrolled; maintain momentum without pressure
-
Flag patients who may face eligibility barriers and escalate appropriately for review
Pre-Visit Patient Readiness
-
Conduct a live outreach call to every newly enrolled patient in advance of their initiating clinical appointment
-
Confirm appointment date, time, and logistics; address questions and ensure the patient feels prepared
-
Walk patients through visit technology in plain, accessible language — step by step, on iOS and Android
-
Troubleshoot basic device or connectivity issues; escalate when the issue is beyond scope
-
Complete insurance eligibility verification by collecting any outstanding patient information needed to confirm coverage before the clinical visit
-
Confirm consent documentation is complete before scheduling the initial Care Navigation appointment; flag any gaps for review and resolution before the visit proceeds
-
Identify patients who may be at risk of not showing up and flag them for immediate follow-up
Post-Visit Conversion & Scheduling
-
Upon confirmation of a patient's completed initiating visit, manage follow-up outreach to schedule the Initial Care Navigation appointment
-
Respond to patient scheduling requests promptly, confirm appointments, and queue reminders
-
Follow up with patients who have not responded to scheduling prompts; escalate persistent non-responders appropriately
-
Maintain scheduling momentum — time between visit completion and care navigation appointment directly affects patient engagement and retention
Ongoing Scheduling & Appointment Management
-
Monitor patient scheduling status throughout the program and intervene when appointments have not been scheduled within the appropriate timeframe or when scheduling does not align with the patient's plan of care
-
Manage outbound scheduling communications, patient responses, appointment confirmations, and reminder campaigns
-
Conduct no-show follow-up and re-engage patients within the appropriate window — a missed appointment is a recovery opportunity
-
Maintain scheduling as a patient-facing function — not an administrative one
Escalation & Scope Management
-
Escalate any clinical question, symptom, or safety concern immediately to the appropriate clinical contact — no exceptions, no improvising
-
Verify insurance coverage and any prior authorization requirements before scheduling begins; flag coverage gaps or unresolved authorization issues prior to visit
-
Maintain accurate, real-time documentation of all patient contacts, eligibility status, scheduling activity, and escalations in program systems
-
Manage reminder content, patient opt-outs, and activity logging across all patient communications
