We do this by partnering directly with oncology clinics and cancer centers and using the collaborative care model to bring mental health support into the room where cancer care already happens. That means patients get support earlier and more consistently and providers get a partner equipped to handle the mental health care their patients need.\nOur team is built by experienced healthcare operators and executives who have built and scaled partnerships across behavioral health, oncology, and value-based care. We're a fast-growing, early-stage company, and every new partnership moves us closer to making specialized behavioral health a standard part of cancer care.\nAbout the Role\nThe Patient Engagement Coordinator is the first voice a patient hears when they're referred into our program, and the person responsible for making sure that referral actually turns into care. You'll guide patients from the moment they're referred all the way through to their first intake - answering questions, building trust, walking them through consent, and getting them scheduled with a Behavioral Health Care Manager.\nBut getting someone to care once isn't the finish line. Patients cancel, miss appointments, or drift away for all kinds of reasons and when they do, they don't just fall off a list. They become your responsibility. You'll reach back out, understand what got in the way, and help them find their way back into the care they need.\nThis role is about ownership of outcomes, not just activity: every referral that becomes a completed intake, and every patient who re-engages instead of falling through the cracks, is a patient who got the care they need because of you - a win you're accountable for.\nWhat You'll Be Doing\nOwn the patient conversion funnel, ensuring referrals are contacted within our SLAs to ensure timely access to care\n\nLead omnichannel outreach to new patient referrals, initiating contact across phone and text to introduce Protocol’s program, explain how it works, and answer patient questions to ensure patients feel supported and informed\n\nHandle common objections and hesitations with empathy and confidence\n\nWalk patients through informed consent and ensure documentation is completed accurately\n\nSchedule patients for their intake session and confirm attendance, handling reminders and reschedules as needed\n\nWork a recurring list of unengaged patients - cancellations, no-shows, and program drop-offs - to understand what got in the way and bring them back into care\n\nRe-educate and re-motivate disengaged patients on the value of the program, re-scheduling and re-consenting as needed\n\nTrack outreach activity and outcomes in the CRM/EHR, and report on key metrics: referral-to-outreach time, outreach-to-scheduled-intake time, referral-to-scheduled-intake conversion rate, and completed intakes\n\nPartner with the Clinical & Operations teams to hand off scheduled patients cleanly and surface recurring friction points that could improve messaging or process\n\nWhat We're Looking For\nExperience in a phone-based customer service, call center, sales development, or patient-facing healthcare coordination role\n\nComfortable being held to conversion and pipeline targets, not just call counts\n\nStrong communicator who can educate, build trust, and overcome objections without being pushy\n\nOrganized and detail-oriented - able to manage a live pipeline of referrals and a separate re-engagement queue simultaneously\n\nEmpathetic and patient, especially with patients who are confused, frustrated, or hesitant\n\nComfortable with CRM/EHR systems and documenting consent accurately\n\nHealthcare, medical sales, or patient enrollment experience a plus\n\nBilingual (Spanish) a plus\n\nCompensation\nThis is a 1099 contracted role at a rate between $20-$24 an hour with potential to a full-time opportunity","description_format":"text","description_chars":4235,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"Spanish","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Patient Access & Booking","Digital Mental Health","Cancer Care Centers"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-12T10:56:29Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":12,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.421,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":77,"expected_fill_days":35,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-31T05:58:55Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":48000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/protocolcares-patient-engagement-coordinator-contractor","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/protocolcares-patient-engagement-coordinator-contractor.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-31T15:17:27Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":23826,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-01T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":688741},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=688741"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fprotocolcares-patient-engagement-coordinator-contractor"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fprotocolcares-patient-engagement-coordinator-contractor"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fprotocolcares-patient-engagement-coordinator-contractor"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/protocolcares-patient-engagement-coordinator-contractor\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fprotocolcares-patient-engagement-coordinator-contractor"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":814106}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"protocolcares.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":814106},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
