About The Position

Float is a specialty pharma home infusion platform connecting SuperNurses to home medication visits. The company aims to make healthcare safer, easier, and more efficient by moving care that doesn't require a hospital to the home. Float connects nurses with patients for chronic condition treatments, benefiting patients with convenient care, nurses with flexible work and better pay, pharmacies with increased prescription fulfillment, hospitals with reduced admissions, and payors with significantly lower costs. Float has demonstrated multi-state expansion, strong unit economics, and high retention rates, facilitating over 100,000 patient visits with 1,100 nurses. The company is actively scaling its platform, team, and operations to serve more geographies and patients, currently operating in California, Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Washington, Michigan, Indiana, Georgia, and Ohio, with more states planned. As an Intake Specialist, you will be crucial to Float's operations and customer success by managing new patient referrals and coordinating timely start-of-care visits. Given the urgent nature of these visits, your ability to act quickly, communicate effectively, and manage details precisely will directly influence patient outcomes and satisfaction. You will act as a liaison between specialty pharmacies, nurses, and patients, using technology platforms to ensure smooth coordination, timely staffing, and successful care delivery. This externally facing role demands excellent organizational skills, strong attention to detail, and a proactive, solution-oriented approach. Customer service is paramount, as you will be the first point of contact, representing Float Health with empathy, professionalism, and efficiency. Resolving issues quickly and accurately will build trust and ensure a seamless experience for all stakeholders. You will contribute to company goals by making staffing decisions that align with operational and financial objectives, requiring flexibility and adaptability as priorities change. Float is seeking a highly engaged individual eager to identify opportunities for workflow, technology, and user experience improvements.
