Benefits

Compensation:

Care Coaches can earn up to $45.00 per hour. Compensation is paid at the rate of $15.00 per initial Clinical Encounter per patient per month. A clinical encounter occurs after two criteria are met: a patient has a successful clinical call and the patient has 20 minutes or more of time in their chart timer.

• Ex: If in one hour you called and spoke with 3 patients and spent 20 minutes with each of them, your pay for that hour would be $45.00 per hour ($15.00/pt reached x 3)
• Ex: If in one hour you called and spoke with 2 patients and spent 30 minutes with each of them, your pay for that hour would be $30.00 ($15.00/pt reached x 2).

Pay Timing:

Monthly via direct deposit, 40 days after the last day of the month of service. This is due to the time it takes Medicare to process reimbursements, but your monthly pay is guaranteed after the month is over.
