About Us

We are a small dedicated behavioral health practice focused on providing compassionate and client-centered care, with 160+ Therapists throughout FL. We're looking for a reliable and organized Office Manager to join our team and help us manage our day-to-day administrative operations.

Your main responsibility will be processing and assigning new cases.

Key Responsibilities:

Referral Management:
■ Process incoming referrals (faxed, phoned, emailed, completed on our website, via MindShare, etc - most are completed on our website, faxed second)
■ Verify insurance coverage in the Medicaid portal, Availity portals, and payer portals depending on the case.

■ If a case needs special authorizations, usually from a local payer (~2% of all cases), request those authorizations before the case is assigned.

■ Assign cases appropriately to clinical staff. You will have a lis of our staff, and how many cases they can take, and you will assign them cases.
■ Develop communication with our staff. Since our staff is spread throughout FL and works remotely, you will need to get to know each counselor, so that you are aware of any requirements, preferences, etc. You will also learn who responds to your emails quicker than others.

■ Follow up with newly assigned cases that have not completed intake. The system will alert you to which case is still pending an assessment.
■ Verify client insurance coverage as needed.
■ Reassign cases as needed.

Data & Communication:
■ Ensure all data in our EHR is accurate and up to date by monitoring reports. Our reports are live-reports, and they let you know what is missing in the system so that you can easily fix the errors.

Day to Day

What does the job look like day to day? You get to work from the comfort of your home for a flexible company with a supportive environment. You make a real impact in the behavioral health field as the first contact when clients reach out to us. The position is an easy one, yet crucial one, therefore a dependable and responsible individual is needed.

You are expected to have our company cell phone and answer calls/texts are they come in. If you are in the middle of something, you need to make a note to reach back to them as soon as you can. You can set your voicemail to say somehting like "I am with a client right now, I will call you back in 10 minutes, or please text me and maybe be able to see your question sooner". The point is to make the client feel at-easy and take care of their questions.
