Agency: Alternate Solutions Home Health

HOW YOU'LL MAKE A DIFFERENCE: At our agency, we care for patients where they spend the majority of their time - in their homes. This privileged position allows us to see things that are invisible to a patient's primary care or hospital physician, and to deliver the best possible care tailored to each patient's setting.
As a Post-Acute Care Coordinator (PACC) the work you do every day makes a difference in the lives of our patients by providing patient healthcare coordination services. You will attend discharge/multidisciplinary rounds in acute care, ambulatory and/or other settings within the health system to share your expertise and to assist the patient in transition of care from one setting to the next within the health system.

WHAT WE OFFER: We provide medical, dental, and vision insurance with flexibility for you to select what works best for you. Eligible teammates receive paid time off and may participate in the 401K, if they choose. Historically the company has matched 401K contributions which helps build your nest egg even faster. Finally, our benefit program includes company paid life, disability insurance, and a robust Employee Assistance Program.

HOW YOU'LL WORK: You'll serve as a resource for patients to determine home care eligibility. You will also assist the organization in identifying future patients. You'll be responsible for all practices and duties within the scope of practice outlined by the state.

MAJOR AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY:
Compliance: Determine home care eligibility and review patient insurances and medical documentation.
