• Coordinate and connect. Build recovery-focused care plans and link patients to treatment, harm reduction, housing, and community resources.
• Partner with the SUD team. Work closely with CASAC counselors and peer advocates to keep patients engaged in care.
• Document to standard. Keep accurate, timely records that meet OASAS and New York State requirements, with AI copilots assisting.
• Base Salary: $75,000 to $85,000 (based on experience and license level)
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance
