Bridging Care Jobs (NOW HIRING)

ABOUT THE ROLE

Bridging Care is hiring Care Coordinators to help vulnerable Medicaid members access the healthcare and community services they need. This is a field-based, relationship-driven role - you will go where your members are, build real relationships, and be the consistent presence that connects them to care.

You will work with medically complex individuals who may face significant barriers - chronic conditions, behavioral health challenges, housing instability, and more. A typical week includes in-home visits, Health Action Plan development, cross-provider coordination, and documentation in our care management systems. Approximately 75% of your time is spent in the field within your assigned county.

This is a coordination role, not a clinical procedures role. You do not administer medications or perform clinical interventions. What you do is show up, navigate systems, and build the trust that helps people get better.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Conduct in-home and community-based visits with assigned Medicaid members (up to 75% field travel).
• Develop individualized Health Action Plans (HAPs) addressing chronic conditions, goals, and real-world barriers.
• Coordinate care across primary care, behavioral health, housing, and social service providers.
• Help members set health goals and build care plans to meet them.
• Support members in engaging with mental health and substance use treatment in the community.
• Conduct comprehensive health screenings covering physical health, behavioral health, and social service needs.
• Facilitate transitions of care after hospitalizations or emergency department visits.
• Complete all documentation and billing in OneHAP and Bridging Care systems within 48 hours of each visit.
• Perform opt-ins for new members and referrals.
• Build and maintain relationships with community organizations, providers, and support networks in your county.
