At Elara Caring, we have a unique opportunity to play a huge role in the growth of an entire home care industry. Here, each employee has the chance to make a real difference by carrying out our mission every day. Join our elite team of healthcare professionals, providing the Right Care, at the Right Time, in the Right Place.

Job Description:

Home Health Pre-Admission Coordinator (LPN)

Full Time/Monday through Friday 8a-5p/ Home Health experience required

When a patient is preparing to leave the hospital or waiting for surgery, a missing order or an unanswered question can delay home health care. As a Pre-Admission Coordinator with Elara Caring, you’ll use your nursing experience to catch those gaps, keep patients informed, and make sure the care team has what it needs before the first visit.

You’ll manage pending admissions for an assigned territory and work closely with intake, account executives, referring facilities, providers, and branch clinicians to keep referrals moving.

What you’ll do

Review referrals for accuracy and completeness. After payer verification, check intake notes, confirm records belong to the correct patient, and verify that the referral includes the clinical and billing information needed for assignment.
Keep pending admissions on track. Follow up on upcoming surgeries and facility discharges, obtain final discharge orders, and document updates. Escalate missing items promptly and obtain leadership approval when a referral needs to move forward with items still open.
Confirm providers and orders. Verify which provider will follow the patient and sign orders, confirm provider contact information and Medicare enrollment in PECOS, and obtain verbal start-of-care orders when needed.
Check clinical documentation. Request the most recent history and physical (H&P). Confirm the face-to-face encounter is scheduled before the start of care or, if it has already occurred, review the documentation to make sure the diagnosis supports the primary focus of care.
Flag insurance and billing questions. Identify copays, workers’ compensation issues, or other coverage concerns and route them to the appropriate team member for follow-up.
Help patients know what to expect. Make the welcome call or confirm it was completed, answer questions within your scope, and communicate next steps.
Support safe, timely care. Follow privacy, regulatory, and company requirements, and provide direct patient care as needed.

What you’ll need

Graduation from an accredited nursing program and a current Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) or Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) license in Massachusetts
Strong organization and follow-through, with the ability to prioritize several pending referrals and know when to escalate
Clear, compassionate communication and the ability to advocate for patients, manage expectations, and resolve concerns
Intermediate Microsoft Office skills and the ability to learn systems such as Homecare Homebase (HCHB) and Workday
A valid driver’s license, auto insurance, and reliable transportation
Sit, stand, bend, lift and move intermittently and be able to lift 50–100 lbs.
Home health experience and hands-on experience with the Homecare Homebase (HCHB) EMR are both required.
