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

  • Strong organizational and communication skills
  • Ability to work independently and manage multiple tasks simultaneously
  • Excellent problem-solving and customer service skills
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite
