Manage incoming home health referrals — verifying insurance, coordinating patient onboarding, and supporting the initial scheduling process for home care services.
Virelia Health connects healthcare professionals with opportunities across home health intake, virtual patient onboarding, and home care referral coordination.
We are seeking qualified Home Health Intake Coordinators for remote opportunities supporting home health agencies, home care organizations, and value-based home care programs.
A Remote Home Health Intake Coordinator manages incoming referrals to home health services — verifying insurance and eligibility, gathering patient information, coordinating the initial onboarding process, and supporting the first scheduling of home care visits. The intake coordinator is often the patient's first contact with the home health agency, and their role is to make the entry into home care smooth, clear, and well-coordinated.
This is a non-clinical coordination role. Home health intake coordinators do not provide clinical advice, clinical assessment, or make care decisions. Their focus is on access, verification, coordination, and setting patients and clinicians up for a successful care episode.
This position is well-suited to someone with healthcare intake, patient access, home health coordination, or medical office support experience who wants to help patients enter home care without pursuing a clinical career path.
The specific home health program, payer mix, technology platform, and scope of responsibilities will depend on the employer and assignment.
This opportunity may be suitable for professionals searching for remote home health intake coordinator jobs, virtual home health intake, work-from-home home care intake jobs, remote home health referral coordinator, or remote home health patient access roles.
Home health intake runs on a steady referral and onboarding cadence — managing incoming referrals, verifying insurance, gathering patient information, and coordinating scheduling, all worked through systematically. Most intake teams run weekday business hours, with some programs offering extended hours for hospitals and referral sources that discharge patients after traditional business hours. There are no overnight shifts in most programs, no emergency response, and no clinical decision pressure. Many intake teams offer flexible 6-, 8-, or 10-hour blocks, and some coordinators work 4-day compressed weeks. We offer both full-time and part-time positions. Discuss your preferred schedule during your interview.
As a Remote Home Health Intake Coordinator, you may support home health referrals and onboarding across a range of coordination activities.
Home health intake is the front door of home care — where patients, families, and referral sources first connect with a home health agency. Intake coordinators play a critical role in ensuring patients meet eligibility, that documentation supports the referral, and that the transition into home care happens smoothly.
Depending on the program, home health intake may focus on:
The intake coordinator's role is non-clinical — managing referrals, verifying coverage, gathering information, and coordinating the transition into home health services. Intake coordinators do not provide clinical advice, make clinical eligibility decisions, or determine care needs. Clinical questions and eligibility concerns are escalated to the appropriate clinical team member per employer protocol.
This structure keeps the role focused on referral management, insurance verification, patient onboarding, documentation, and appropriate escalation.
Home health intake success depends on clear, compassionate communication with patients, families, and referral sources — often in a moment of transition when patients are leaving the hospital or a rehabilitation facility.
You may help by:
Clear communication, patience, and reliable follow-through are essential — the intake coordinator often determines whether a patient's home health experience starts smoothly.
A Remote Home Health Intake Coordinator may follow a structured workflow for each referral.
Depending on the employer's protocols, you may:
Home health intake coordinators operate within a clearly non-clinical scope. Any patient question, symptom, or concern that requires clinical judgment — including clinical eligibility questions, care needs, or medical advice — is escalated to the appropriate clinical team member immediately per the employer's protocol. Intake supports clinical care — it never replaces it.
Experience or training in any of the following may be beneficial:
A typical day may begin by reviewing your referral queue — new referrals from hospitals, physician offices, and case managers that need verification and onboarding.
You'll work through each referral systematically: verifying insurance eligibility, confirming home health benefits, coordinating with referral sources on missing documentation, and contacting patients and families to explain the intake process.
Between referrals, you'll submit prior authorizations when required, coordinate initial visit scheduling with clinical teams, and document each step in the home health EHR.
Throughout the day, you'll escalate any clinical question or urgent concern to the appropriate clinical team member and keep referral sources informed of the status of pending intakes.
The role combines referral management, insurance verification, patient onboarding, coordination, documentation, and appropriate escalation.
Unlike clinical home health roles, intake coordination is operational and patient-facing — focused on making the transition into home care as smooth as possible.
This position is designed for remote home health intake delivery.
Depending on the employer, you may work with:
Candidates should have a private workspace suitable for confidential patient conversations and be comfortable with multiple digital platforms and payer systems.

Always confirm specific requirements with the employer before applying.
