Patient Intake Coordinator

ENVITA | Full-Time | On-Site 4 days-Sat. at home| Scottsdale, Arizona | Compensation: $25-$27 per hour

Help Patients Feel Heard, Calm, Supported, and Confident From the First Call

Every day, patients and families contact Envita searching for hope, clarity, and options they may not have found elsewhere. Many are facing cancer, Lyme disease, complex chronic illness, uncertainty, fear, frustration, or emotional exhaustion.

The Patient Intake Coordinator is often the first live voice a patient hears when they contact Envita. This role exists to ensure every caller is greeted with warmth, professionalism, empathy, and confidence, while also helping gather accurate preliminary information and connecting the patient to the appropriate Patient Care Coordinator or internal team member.

This is not a traditional front desk or call transfer role. It is a mission-critical patient experience position that helps protect the quality of Envita’s first impression, supports responsive lead intake, and helps patients move to the right next step with clarity and confidence.

Envita is experiencing growth as more patients and families seek innovative care options beyond conventional approaches.

The Patient Intake Coordinator role exists to:

• Answer incoming patient calls with warmth, professionalism, and empathy.
• Create a positive first impression of Envita.
• Help patients feel heard, respected, and supported.
• Complete accurate partial intake questions when appropriate.
• Help qualify inbound leads and guide appropriate patients to the right next step.

• Document patient information clearly and correctly in Salesforce or the appropriate system.
• Route patients to the right Patient Care Coordinator or internal team member.
• Reduce patient anxiety and confusion.
• Protect communication quality, responsiveness, and follow-through.
• Support a smooth handoff into the patient journey.

This role is important because patients may not remember every detail of the first call, but they will remember how they were treated.

Position Summary

The Patient Intake Coordinator provides compassionate, professional phone-based support for prospective patients and families contacting Envita Medical Center. This individual answers incoming calls, listens carefully, gathers preliminary patient information, completes partial intake questions when a Patient Care Coordinator is unavailable, documents information accurately, and ensures each patient is connected to the proper next step.

Between calls, this role also supports patient onboarding communication by responding to approved emails and high-level text messages, documenting communication, routing questions appropriately, and helping ensure newly qualified patients receive timely follow-up from the appropriate Patient Care Coordinator or patient enrollment team member.

The position also includes administrative support related to patient onboarding, including responding to approved emails and text messages, documenting those communications, and routing patient questions to the proper next step.

• Make a meaningful difference by helping patients feel calm, supported, and guided during an emotionally difficult time.

The Opportunity to Change Lives

For many patients, calling Envita is not just a routine phone call. It may be the result of fear, frustration, research, family pressure, medical uncertainty, or disappointment with previous treatment options.

The Patient Intake Coordinator helps bring calm and order into that moment.

This role helps patients feel:

• Heard
• Understood
• Respected
• Reassured
• Properly guided
• Confident that someone will help them

The strongest performers do not simply answer the phone. They create emotional safety, gather accurate information, protect the patient experience, support timely documentation, and help the Patient Care Coordinator team serve patients more effectively.

Why This Role Matters

This role sits at the intersection of patient experience, intake quality, responsiveness, lead qualification, communication accuracy, team support, and brand reputation.

The Patient Intake Coordinator supports Envita by ensuring incoming patients are greeted with care, captured accurately in the system, contacted or routed quickly, and moved to the right next step without feeling dismissed, transferred around, or treated like a number.
