Job Description:

Chronic Care Coordinator

Location: MICHIGAN - 100% REMOTE (NOT A COMPACT STATE)

Join our mission to help transform healthcare delivery from reactive, episodic care to proactively managed patient care that prevents live-changing problems before they happen for patients with two or more chronic conditions. We believe every patient with chronic disease deserves consistent check-ins, follow-up, and support.

The position of the Remote Chronic Care Coordinator will perform telephonic encounters with patients on behalf of our partners each month and develops detailed care plans within our care plan templates in the electronic health record. This begins as an Independent 1099 Contractor position but offers the potential to reach full-time W2 employment (with employee benefits).

Esrun Health is seeking nurses to work part-time from their home office as independent contractors while complying with HIPAA privacy laws. You will set your own hours and will not be held to a daily work hour schedule. Esrun Health wants its team members to have the flexibility to balance their work-life with their home life. Part-time team members will typically need to dedicate an average of 20-30 hours per week to care for their assigned patients. This unique business model allows you to choose what days and what hours of the day you dedicate to care for your patients.

The Care Coordinator will be assigned a patient panel based on skill and efficiency level and is expected to carry a patient panel of a minimum of 100 patients per calendar month within the first three months of assignment. Care Coordinators will be expected to complete encounters on 90 percent of the patients they are assigned each month unless patients are unable to participate due to current health conditions.
