Hiring a virtual care coordinator in California
A virtual care coordinator manages the work between visits — closing HEDIS care gaps, following up on abnormal labs, tracking referrals to closure, coordinating hospital discharges through Transitional Care Management (TCM), and outreaching for preventive screenings. They turn between-visit work into measurable revenue and quality scores.
California has over 110,000 active physicians and the largest healthcare market in the United States, with major hubs in Los Angeles, San Francisco Bay Area, San Diego, and Sacramento. Heavy demand from multi-location dermatology, optometry, dental, mental health, and primary care groups.
What a California care coordinator does
Our care coordinators work inside the EHR registry, pull lists of patients overdue for HEDIS measures or Medicare Annual Wellness Visits, call patients personally, schedule them in, and document all touchpoints for billing of CCM, TCM, and AWV codes that practices routinely leave on the table. For value-based care contracts, they own the gap-closure workflow and the documentation that proves it.
