Provider Operations Associate
$50k - $75k USD
At Carrum, we are transforming how we pay for, deliver and experience healthcare. If you are passionate about changing healthcare and want to finally get rid of surprise bills, poor quality, and high prices, while thriving in an entrepreneurial, cutting-edge environment, we would love to connect with you.
In 2014 Carrum reinvented the Centers of Excellence (COE) category in digital health. Today, 95% of the US population lives within 50 miles of a Carrum COE and our providers rank in the top 10% nationally. Our team’s execution has been recognized by the venture community and we’ve raised more than $96M in aggregate from investors like OMERS, Tiger Global Management and Wildcat Ventures. Our impact has been externally proven in a 2021 RAND Corporation study and featured as a Harvard Business School (HBS) case study.
The Provider Operations Associate is an entry-level role (0–2+ years of experience) designed for an organized, highly motivated professional who wants to learn the ropes of healthcare operations at a growing start-up. You will work on problems of limited scope, following standard practices to support the Provider Operations & Account Management team as they interface with our Center of Excellence partners.
In this role, you will deliver great work independently on well-defined tasks, actively seek feedback to grow your career, and collaborate closely with Account Managers to ensure smooth operations for our providers and patients.
The salary range for this role is $50,000 - $75,000 depending on geography and level of experience, plus equity and an annual bonus.
You’re excited about this opportunity because you will...
- Implementation & Expansion Support: Collaborate closely with the Account Management team to efficiently implement new COE services. Support updates in the care app, Salesforce, implementation tickets, and shared drives to ensure accurate information management.
- Billing & Finance Support: Oversee daily provider billing tasks and collaborate with internal finance teams to ensure the timely and accurate reconciliation of accounts. You will learn to identify complex issues and escalate them to the Account Manager as needed.
