Full Job Description Job Title:

Home Health Intake Coordinator | Health Unit Coordinator (HUC)

Experience Company:

Home Health Care, Inc.

Location:

Golden Valley, Minnesota Compensation:

$24-$28 per hour

Schedule:

Full-Time | Occasional Weekends To Stand Out Email Elena Ehrlich at with your resume and tell us: About your previous intake, admissions, referral, or Health Unit Coordinator experience . Which EMR or healthcare systems you've worked in. What you enjoy most about keeping patient care organized behind the scenes. Why home health intake interests you. You Already Know How to Keep Healthcare Moving. If you've worked as a Health Unit Coordinator, Unit Coordinator, Medical Unit Coordinator, Health Unit Clerk, Intake Specialist, Admissions Coordinator, Referral Coordinator, Patient Care Coordinator, or Medical Office Coordinator , you already understand something important: Healthcare can fall apart quickly when the details aren't handled well. A missing order. An incomplete referral. An insurance issue. A piece of documentation that never arrived. A provider waiting on information. A family wondering what happens next. At Home Health Care, Inc., we're looking for someone who can take all of those moving pieces and help turn them into a smooth admission experience. This is not a traditional patient scheduling role. This is a healthcare intake and admissions position focused on referrals, documentation, payer eligibility, communication, EMR accuracy, and getting new home health clients ready for care. Why This Role Stands Out $24-$28/hour. Full-Time position. Competitive benefits package. Monday through Friday schedule with occasional weekends. Work within an established Medicare-certified home health organization. Use your healthcare coordination and administrative experience in a more specialized intake role. Collaborate with nurses, therapists, referral sources, providers, clients, and families. Build expertise in home health admissions, payer eligibility, referral processing, and EMR workflows . Join a locally owned Minnesota healthcare organization with more than 30 years of experience. You Become the Bridge Between Referral and Care When a new referral comes in, there's a lot that needs to happen before care can begin. You'll help determine whether we have everything needed to move forward. You'll review the referral. Confirm eligibility. Gather missing documentation. Communicate with hospitals, clinics, physicians, facilities, clients, and families. Enter information accurately into the EMR. And help make sure the clinical team has the information they need to take over from there. When intake is done well, the entire admission process becomes easier for the patient, the family, the referral source, and the clinical team . What You'll Be Doing Review and screen incoming home health referrals. Determine whether referrals meet admission criteria. Verify payer, insurance, and reimbursement eligibility . Contact referral sources to obtain missing medical documentation. Conduct intake conversations with clients and families. Enter accurate and timely patient information into the electronic medical record. Review physician orders, diagnoses, insurance information, and supporting clinical documentation. Communicate with hospitals, clinics, physician offices, senior living communities, and other referral partners. Coordinate with internal clinical and operational teams to help move referrals toward admission. Track referral status and follow up on outstanding documentation or information. Help maintain an organized, responsive, and professional intake process. Backgrounds That Translate Well We'd especially like to meet candidates with experience as a: Health Unit Coordinator (HUC). Unit Coordinator. Medical Unit Coordinator. Health Unit Clerk. Patient Administration Specialist. Intake Coordinator. Intake Specialist. Admissions Coordinator. Referral Coordinator. Patient Care Coordinator. Medical Office Coordinator. Home Health Intake Specialist. Hospital or Clinic Administrative Coordinator. Home health experience is strongly preferred, but candidates with strong healthcare intake, admissions, referral, or unit coordination experience are encouraged to apply. What We're Looking For Healthcare office experience, preferably in home health. Intake or admissions experience strongly preferred. Familiarity with medical terminology and insurance terminology. Strong EMR and computer skills. Excellent attention to detail. Clear and professional written and verbal communication. Ability to manage multiple referrals and priorities at once. Confidence communicating with clinical professionals and referral sources. Strong follow-through when documentation or information is missing. Positive, collaborative approach to working with a healthcare team. If You Were the Person Who Kept the Unit Organized, This May Be Your Next Step. Health Unit Coordinators and experienced healthcare administrative professionals often develop an incredible skill set. You learn to prioritize. You learn medical terminology. You learn how to communicate with nurses and physicians. You know how important accurate documentation is. And you get very good at figuring out what's missing and getting it where it needs to go . Those skills translate directly to home health intake. Instead of coordinating activity on one hospital unit, you'll help patients move from referral to home-based care . About Home Health Care, Inc. Home Health Care, Inc. is a locally owned, Medicare-certified agency with more than 30 years of experience serving communities throughout Minnesota. We provide skilled nursing, therapy, home health aide, and PCA services with a focus on delivering high-quality care wherever our clients call home. Military administrative and healthcare experience is highly valued. Veterans and transitioning service members with backgrounds such as Patient Administration Specialist, Hospital Corpsman, Health Services Management, and Health Services Technician are encouraged to apply. If you're an experienced Health Unit Coordinator, Intake Coordinator, Admissions Coordinator, Referral Coordinator, or healthcare administrative professional who enjoys keeping complex processes organized and moving forward, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today and email Elena Ehrlich at with your resume and a brief summary of your previous intake or healthcare coordination experience.
