Patient Care Coordinator — Pediatric Therapy Clinic (Full-time, Hybrid) Nurtured Pediatrics · Lakewood, CO
Nurtured Pediatrics is a pediatric occupational therapy and feeding therapy practice serving children birth to three across the Denver metro, in clinic, in home, and by telehealth. We're turning 8 years old and celebrating by opening a new clinic in Lakewood.
The role
You're the first voice families hear and the person who keeps the clinic running. You own the phones, the inbox, scheduling, new-patient onboarding, insurance authorizations, and day-to-day clinic operations. You work alongside a small team of pediatric therapists and report directly to the owner.
What you'll do
- Answer and return calls professionally during business hours, Mon–Fri 9–5, whether in clinic or remote
- Field new-patient inquiries, send intake forms, schedule evaluations, and route families to the right therapist
- Maintain the waitlist and follow the practice's intake protocols exactly
- Complete new-patient onboarding in our EMR (Fusion) and keep the weekly census current
- Verify eligibility and submit and track prior authorizations (Health First Colorado Medicaid, Kaiser)
- Manage the shared inbox, faxes, referral intake, and records requests
- Handle pricing and payment conversations with families directly
- Open and close the clinic each day it's open
- Turn over treatment rooms between sessions: wipe down mats, run tools through the sanitizer, return everything to its place
- Keep the kitchenette clean and stocked; manage supplies and vendors
- Coordinate with our billing specialist on claims
Help us open the clinic
You'll start before the doors open. Your first weeks are spent working alongside the owner to set up our new Lakewood clinic: receiving deliveries, arranging furniture and equipment, organizing the front desk and treatment rooms, and training on our systems and covering phones while the space comes together. This is light work. Occasionally it involves lifting equipment up to 25 lb, but rarely, and only during opening.
Schedule
Full-time, 40 hours per week, W-2. Hybrid: in clinic whenever therapists have sessions, remote otherwise. Phone coverage 9–5 either way.
Who you are
- You have 2+ years in a medical or therapy front office, with scheduling experience required
- You have Medicaid prior authorization experience (strongly preferred); billing experience is a plus
- You're responsive: calls and messages returned the same business day
- You follow written protocols precisely and ask before improvising
- You think on your feet and triage situations big or small to the best solution
- You anticipate what's needed next rather than waiting for approval at each step
- You problem-solve with the resources you've been given. You keep your own notes and find answers in our systems and documentation before coming to the owner
- You take initiative with referral sources, community partners, and parents, and represent Nurtured Pediatrics as a knowledgeable, reliable guide to their care
- You know the Denver metro and Colorado well enough to route in-home referrals to the right therapist's territory
- You're experienced in Google Workspace and an EMR, or quick to learn a new platform
- You adapt to company-wide systems, and when you see a better way, you propose a systems-based fix
- You're careful with documentation and HIPAA
- You're warm with families, especially anxious parents of infants and toddlers
Pay and benefits
$25–35 per hour, W-2, full-time.
- Paid sick leave
- Colorado FAMLI paid family and medical leave
- Colorado SecureSavings retirement plan with payroll deduction
- Access to a healthcare plan
- Lunch stipend
- Drinks and snacks stocked in clinic
- Hybrid schedule: remote on days without clinic sessions
- Paid training on Medicaid prior authorizations, our EMR, and our intake systems
- A direct line to the owner and a real say in how a brand-new clinic runs
To apply
Resume plus a short note on your scheduling and authorization experience.
Pay: $25.00 - $35.00 per hour
Expected hours: 30.0 – 40.0 per week
Benefits:
- 401(k)

Patient Care Coordinator Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a patient care coordinator in Colorado?
Most patient care coordinator positions in Colorado require at least an associate degree in healthcare administration, medical assisting, or a related field, though a bachelor's degree is increasingly preferred by larger health systems. Colorado does not issue a state license specifically for patient care coordinators, but employers often prefer candidates who hold a Certified Medical Manager or similar credential from a nationally recognized body. Gaining experience in medical reception, insurance coordination, or clinical support roles at a Colorado clinic or hospital is the most direct path into the role.
Which companies hire patient care coordinators in Colorado?
Colorado patient care coordinator roles are posted by Optum, AEG Vision, and Specialty1 Partners and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Colorado's large integrated systems, community health centers, and specialty practices maintain ongoing hiring cycles, particularly in the Denver metro and Colorado Springs corridors.
Which Colorado cities have the most patient care coordinator jobs?
Colorado Springs, Aurora, and Denver have the most patient care coordinator openings in Colorado. Denver anchors the market as home to major health system headquarters and academic medical centers, while Colorado Springs and Aurora generate consistent volume through their own regional hospital networks, military-affiliated medical facilities, and growing outpatient clinic infrastructure.
Are there remote patient care coordinator jobs in Colorado?
Yes, but they are relatively limited. About 13% of patient care coordinator openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting that much of the role involves in-person patient interaction and on-site coordination with clinical teams. The tasks most likely to appear in remote or hybrid arrangements are insurance verification, utilization review, and telephonic care management.
How can I get hired as a patient care coordinator in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is securing a front-office or patient services representative role at a Colorado community health center, federally qualified health center, or outpatient clinic, then moving laterally once you have direct patient interaction and insurance workflow experience. Large Colorado employers such as UCHealth and Intermountain Health periodically post associate-level coordinator and care support roles that are open to candidates without prior coordinator titles. Completing a medical administrative assistant program at a Colorado community college and earning a nationally recognized certification such as Certified Healthcare Access Associate gives candidates a measurable edge in competitive applicant pools.
Where can I find and apply to patient care coordinator jobs in Colorado?
You can find and apply to patient care coordinator jobs in Colorado on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience level, preferred location, and specialty area, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
