As one of the first members of the Ophelia team that a patient will interact with, our Care Coordinators are integral to creating a best-in-class patient experience that supports Ophelia's ability to grow and achieve our mission.
Care Coordinators work directly with patients to take care of a wide variety of non-clinical needs, as well as collaborating with clinicians to ensure patients are safe and delighted with their care.
In this role, you will be responsible for following defined processes and protocols that ensure our patients receive consistent, high quality care. You will engage directly with Ophelia patients providing support across a wide range of areas including successfully filling pharmacy prescriptions, obtaining prior authorizations from a patient's health insurance plan, rescheduling an upcoming visit with a member of the Ophelia clinical team, collecting required documentation to allow members of Ophelia's clinical team to coordinate care with other health care providers the patient is seeing outside of Ophelia and providing quality referrals.
To be successful in this role you must become proficient in various technology platforms and channels of communication that Ophelia team members use to both provide support to our patients and to partner with cross-functional teams on improving processes and workflows. This role reports to the Lead Care Coordinator.

  • Follow Ophelia's policies and maintain all confidentiality, compliance, and ethical standards
  • Work autonomously and as part of a team within established procedures and practices
  • Consistently practice our cultural values: champion our patients, communicate with kindness, learn and share freely, and get results

  • Experience de-escalating highly emotional conversations and communicating with empathy and respect to vulnerable patient populations
