Intake Coordinator (Bilingual)

Full Job Description

📌 About Alpaca Health

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.

🎯 Role: Intake Coordinator

We are hiring a Bilingual Intake Coordinator (Spanish/English) 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.

• Coordinate benefit verification and communicate next steps clearly

• Partner with billing and insurance ops to resolve issues quickly

Be the trusted point of contact for families

• Explain patient responsibility, coverage, and expected costs in a clear, empathetic way

• Set expectations around timelines, requirements, and what “ready for care” looks like

Coordinate across internal teams

• Surface blockers early and drive resolution

• Ensure clean handoffs once families are ready to start care

Ensure quality and fit

• 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

Drive operational excellence

• Maintain accurate records and tracking across systems

🧠 Who You Are

• 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

• You are fluent in both Spanish and English (required)

🚀 Why Join

• 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.
