At Understood Care, our mission is to bridge the healthcare gap for Medicare patients who would like some help navigating the complex healthcare system.
Understood Care matches Medicare patients with an assistant with healthcare expertise (known as a Patient Advocate). Patient Advocates help patients with anything patients need in order to access care - booking appointments, finding transportation, ordering medical equipment and much more.
In this position, you will conduct audio or video patient intake appointments, which is a 20-30 minute appointment to understand the challenges that the patient is facing. You will determine if a patient is suited to receive patient advocacy under the principals of Principal Illness Navigation and/or Community Health Integration. This role does not require diagnosing or prescribing.
You will also collaborate closely with our technology team to develop innovative AI tools that enhance the clinical experience.
We are seeking a psychiatrist who is passionate about improving care access for the Medicare population and is excited to work at an early stage startup.
This is a remote, part-time role with the ability to evolve into a full time role. We would prefer a minimum of 10 hours a week, though week to week availability is flexible.
Rate: $125/hour.
