Join our team and make a positive impact on the lives of others! We are looking for an Intake Specialist I who will serve as the face of FreedomCare in the communities we serve in Massachusetts.

This is a Hybrid role, 3 days in our Charlestown, MA office and 2 days remote.

Department & Position Overview:

FreedomCare’s Massachusetts operations support the MassHealth Adult Foster Care (AFC) program, which helps eligible adults with medical, physical, cognitive, or behavioral health needs receive daily assistance in a home setting from a qualified caregiver with professional care team support.

The Intake Specialist is responsible for managing the completion of patient Service Records and caregiver enrollment activities while serving as a liaison between patients, caregivers, health plans, and internal teams. This role combines both intake and onboarding responsibilities to provide a seamless, single point of contact experience throughout the transition from “Qualified” to “On Care.”

The Intake Specialist plays a critical role in guiding patients and caregivers through the completion of their service record and enrollment journey by verifying eligibility, coordinating required documentation, facilitating caregiver onboarding requirements, and ensuring timely progression toward authorization and start of care. This role requires strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills to effectively manage case progression, provide exceptional customer service, and maintain accurate documentation within Salesforce and related systems.

Success in this role is defined by the ability to deliver a compassionate and efficient customer experience, maintain strong collaboration with health plans and cross-functional teams, resolve barriers proactively, and ensure patients and caregivers are successfully onboarded and ready to begin services as quickly as possible.

Every Day You Will:

Build meaningful relationships with patients and caregivers through professional, empathetic, and mission-driven communication that reflects FreedomCare’s values and commitment to self-directed care.

Serve as the primary point of contact and trusted advisor for patients and caregivers throughout the Service Record and Enrollment Record fulfillment process by providing guidance on enrollment status, program requirements, expected timelines, and next steps to ensure a seamless onboarding experience.
Review and assess eligibility and program-fit requirements, including Medicaid and insurance status, managed care plan (MCO), AAA/CMA involvement, state-specific guidelines, caregiver eligibility, and patient care needs.
Manage and maintain accurate Service Record and Enrollment Record documentation in Salesforce, including intake type, case status updates, detailed case notes, next-step tracking, and timely follow-up actions to support continuity of care and efficient start-of-care timelines.
Coordinate and track all required enrollment and caregiver onboarding items, including forms, signatures, medical documentation, certificates, training completion, fingerprinting, and caregiver hiring requirements to ensure cases progress efficiently toward authorization and start of care.
Facilitate communication and follow-up with health plans, waiver programs, case managers, state agencies, and internal departments regarding pending authorizations, approvals, and enrollment requirements, while accurately documenting outcomes and action items in Salesforce.
