Job Overview

Virelia Health connects non-clinical Care Coordinators with remote opportunities across healthcare organizations — health plans, care management programs, medical groups, population health teams, and community health centers.

We are seeking motivated Remote Care Coordinators (Non-Clinical) for entry-level and early-career opportunities supporting care coordination across the United States.

A Remote Care Coordinator (Non-Clinical) supports care plan coordination, care team communication, referral tracking, and care task coordination so patients receive coordinated care.

No clinical license is required. No prior care coordination experience is required. Paid training is provided. This role is well-suited to candidates who are organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable coordinating across teams — including career changers, recent graduates, and first-time remote workers coming from care coordination, medical office, administrative, or healthcare support roles.

The specific program, care focus, and scope of responsibilities will depend on the employer and assignment.

This opportunity may be suitable for professionals searching for care coordinator jobs, remote care coordinator, work-from-home care coordination jobs, entry-level healthcare jobs no experience, non-clinical care coordinator, or virtual care coordinator roles.

A Typical Day

A typical day may begin by logging into the care coordination system — reviewing the day's care plan tasks, checking for new patient referrals, and identifying any follow-ups from previous contacts.

You'll review care plan tasks — scanning the day's coordination tasks, preparing patient notes, and identifying any priority contacts or overdue items.

You'll coordinate between providers — reaching out to primary care, specialists, and care team members to align care plan tasks, share updates, and close coordination loops.

You'll track referrals — following up on open referrals, confirming appointments with specialists, and updating referral status in the system.

You'll support care transitions — coordinating post-discharge follow-up, post-visit tasks, and transitions between care settings.

You'll communicate with the care team and patients — keeping both informed on care plan progress, upcoming tasks, and any changes.

You'll document and track — recording each coordination contact accurately in the care coordination system and updating care plans, referrals, and outcome metrics.

You'll escalate when needed — routing clinical concerns, safety concerns, or clinical questions to clinical teams per protocol.

Between contacts, you'll coordinate with community partners and care teams as needed, and support care coordination program reporting.

Throughout the day, you'll work across multiple care coordination, EHR, and tracking systems, document your coordination activity accurately, support program quality goals, and maintain HIPAA compliance across all coordination work.

The role combines care plan task coordination, care team communication, referral tracking, care transitions support, documentation, and care plan outcome support.

Unlike clinical roles that require a nursing license or clinical certification, this non-clinical Care Coordinator role is a true entry-level position — you help patients receive coordinated care and care teams stay aligned.
