Patient & Provider Advocate
About the role
The Patient & Provider Advocate is an operationally critical role in AndHealth's Provider partnership model. This role is forward-deployed, present in partner practices and at times working directly in their EHR. They identify eligible patients, queue them for provider review, navigate access challenges, and ensure that the white-glove service AndHealth has promised is actually felt by both the partnered practice and the patient.
Responsibilities
- Manage patient enrollment process from referral receipt through successful program onboarding
- Work within partner practice (including in EHR systems) to identify CDM-eligible patients in target specialty (MS, derm, rheumatology)
- Queue identified patients for provider review and referral — removing the burden from practice staff entirely
- Conduct outbound patient contact as needed to support enrollment and transition — warm, professional, and brand-appropriate
- Track enrollment funnel for each practice account and surface patterns that indicate process gaps, with solutions
- Serve as the on-site expert when a physician or staff member encounters a medication access challenge
- Build working relationships with practice coordinators, medical assistants, and office managers — the people who execute the day-to-day
- Train and remind practice staff on referral workflows — proactively, not reactively
- Identify and surface practice-level issues to the Provider Partner Account Management Director and Strategic Account Director before they affect the relationship
- Maintain accurate patient-level records in AndHealth's systems for all assigned accounts
- Provide regular status updates to Provider Partner Account Management Director and Strategic Account Director on enrollment activity, access barriers, and practice dynamics
- Partner with Account Management to document any bespoke workflows or commitments unique to each practice for knowledge continuity
Requirements
- Bachelor’s Degree required
- 5+ years in a field reimbursement, patient access, or clinical operations role
- Comfort working independently and autonomously while in provider offices — you are a self-directed professional who doesn't need daily supervision
- Strong interpersonal skills with clinical and administrative staff at all levels
- Experience supporting specialty patient populations (neurology, dermatology, rheumatology, or other autoimmune specialties) a plus
- Willingness to travel regularly; expected to be on-site at partner practices most days per week
- Familiarity and willingness to use AI tools
Qualifications
