About The Position

Alpaca Health enables clinicians to become entrepreneurs, starting in autism care.
We help clinicians launch and scale their own clinics by providing AI-powered software, payer contracting, and full back-office infrastructure. Our goal is simple: shift power in healthcare away from large consolidated entities and back to clinicians.
We've raised over $14M in funding from early-stage investors like Core Innovation Capital, Adverb Ventures, and South Park Commons, and are building for long-term category leadership. More importantly, we're serving hundreds of patients, while growing 30% MoM.
We are hiring an Intake Coordinator to guide families from first contact through the start of care.
You will be the front door to Alpaca, owning the intake experience end-to-end, navigating insurance complexity, and ensuring every family is set up for success. This role requires empathy, precision, and the ability to move families forward with clarity.

Requirements

• You are deeply empathetic but know how to push when needed
• You communicate clearly and confidently, especially around complex or sensitive topics
• You are highly organized and follow through relentlessly
• You are comfortable navigating ambiguity and solving problems in real time
• You take ownership—you don’t wait for someone else to fix things

Responsibilities

• Own the intake journey
• Guide families from initial inquiry through confirmed start of care
• Proactively follow up via phone, text, and email to keep momentum
• Ensure all required information and documents are completed on time
• Help families work through insurance requirements (e.g., Tricare ECHO enrollment, referrals, prior steps)
• Coordinate benefit verification and communicate next steps clearly
• Partner with billing and insurance ops to resolve issues quickly
• Explain patient responsibility, coverage, and expected costs in a clear, empathetic way
• Set expectations around timelines, requirements, and what “ready for care” looks like
• Build trust while maintaining urgency and accountability
• Work closely with billing, operations, and partnerships to move cases forward
• Surface blockers early and drive resolution
• Ensure clean handoffs once families are ready to start care
• Assess whether families are a strong fit for Alpaca’s model and providers
• Flag concerns and ensure alignment before starting services
• Maintain a high bar for readiness and experience
• Maintain accurate records and tracking across systems
• Identify patterns, bottlenecks, and opportunities to improve intake workflows
• Take on additional responsibilities as needed to improve speed and quality of care access

Benefits

• Direct exposure to company-building at an early stage.
• Real ownership of critical initiatives from day one.
• The opportunity to materially impact families and clinicians.
• A fast learning curve that few roles can match.
