Intake Specialist at Float Health in Bakersfield, CA

About Float

Float is the full-stack platform for Specialty Pharma home infusion. We’re on a mission to make healthcare safer, easier, and more efficient by connecting SuperNurses to home medication visits - moving all care that doesn’t need a hospital to the home.

Float connects nurses with patients so they can get treatments for their chronic conditions in the home rather than going into the overcrowded hospital. Our model benefits all stakeholders - patients get more convenient care, nurses access flexible work for better pay, pharmacies fill more prescriptions, hospitals reduce low-reimbursement admissions, and payors enjoy 12x reduced costs with home-delivered care.

Over the last 5 years, we’ve successfully demonstrated multi-state expansion, validated strong unit economics, and boast remarkable retention of patients, nurses, and pharmacies. We’ve facilitated over 100,000 patient visits with 1,100 nurses and are scaling our platform, team, and operations to serve more geographies and patients.

Float Health is currently recruiting nurses and serving patients in California, Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Washington, Michigan, Indiana, Georgia, and Ohio with several new states on the horizon.

The Role

As an Intake Specialist, you’ll play a key role in our operations and customer success by managing new patient referrals and coordinating timely start-of-care visits.

This is an externally facing role that requires excellent organizational skills, strong attention to detail, and a proactive, solution-oriented mindset.
