An Intake Coordinator works with patients when they arrive at a medical facility, usually for a treatment or procedure. They handle the initial paperwork to get patients registered and admitted to the hospital or medical facility. Additionally, they ensure the facility has all the necessary patient, medical and insurance information before the patient is admitted. Intake Coordinators can also go over insurance coverage, expected costs and other questions the patient might have before receiving medical treatment. Intake Coordinators can work at any type of medical facility, primarily hospitals and specialty clinics. Some positions are remote, while others are on-site at the medical facility to meet face-to-face with patients.
