About the Company:

Our client is a healthcare technology startup backed by top venture investors. The company is transforming how medical records are collected and summarized for law firms and healthcare providers. By automating record retrieval and using AI to generate intelligent summaries, they reduce what once took weeks into a process that takes only hours, empowering attorneys, providers, and patients with faster, more accurate access to medical histories

Role Overview:

As a Legal Intake Specialist, you'll play a critical role in the medical records retrieval process. You'll ensure that every intake request is accurate, complete, and optimized for success downstream.

If you thrive in a fast-paced, detail-oriented environment where precision and problem-solving matter, this role is for you.

Key Responsibilities:

• Review and correct incoming ROIs (Release of Information forms), which are incomplete or inaccurate in ~90% of cases.
• Prepare accurate base forms and generate complete submission packets.
• Conduct a thorough QA review of each ROI packet, ensuring cover letters, affidavits, and provider-specific requirements are correct.

Request Assignment & Escalation

• Assign requests to the appropriate records team member based on workload and utilization.
• Identify and escalate special provider requirements or edge cases to the appropriate Client Success Manager (CSM).
• Coordinate with law firms' case managers to resolve missing or conflicting information.

Requirements:

Must-Have:

• Prior experience requesting medical records from providers on behalf of law firms.
• Strong attention to detail, small errors can cause significant delays in the record's retrieval.
• Proficiency with Adobe and PDF editing/combining tools.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Proactive problem-solving mindset and ability to manage multiple requests simultaneously.

Nice-to-Have:

• Familiarity with Chartswap or other medical records exchange platforms.
