Record Collection Specialist

WHO WE ARE Citizen Health was founded on the belief - shaped by firsthand lived experiences navigating healthcare - that having the right advocate is the single most important factor in achieving better care and outcomes. By uniquely combining data, AI, and community, Citizen is building a personalized AI advocate powered by patients' complete medical histories and data from thousands of other patients to generate personalized insights for clinical decisions and day-to-day challenges. Starting in rare and complex conditions, patients share their data in exchange for value, enabling biopharma and researchers with seamless access to patients and regulatory-grade data, shaving years off drug development for much-needed treatments. Citizen is founded by experienced entrepreneurs with multiple successes under their belts and is funded by top-tier investors including 8VC, Transformation Capital, and Headline Ventures, among others. We are a mission-driven team excited to be building the future of consumer healthcare. THE ROLE We’re not looking for average. We’re building a team of sharp, collaborative, fast-moving, detail-obsessed professionals who take pride in efficiency and execution. As a Record Collection Specialist at Citizen Health, you will play a critical role in our mission to serve patients by obtaining and organizing medical records from healthcare providers across the country. That means you need to be lightning-fast on a computer across multiple systems, relentless in follow-up, and meticulous in documentation. If you get flustered easily, move slowly, or struggle with basic tech — this is not the role for you. In return, you’ll be part of a high-performing, collaborative team that thrives on shared purpose—and you’ll have the opportunity to make a real impact on a mission that matters. This is a remote contractor role with flexible hours, but hours need to be structured during normal business hours. We expect people to treat this like the real-deal job it is. You’ll be trusted to manage cases, invoice payments, and external communication to providers with urgency and clarity, without hand-holding. RESPONSIBILITIES - Submit clear, accurate patient record requests to healthcare providers’ Release of Information departments using our internal request system - Follow up persistently via phone, email, and fax to ensure timely record delivery — you are expected to follow up more than once and problem-solve when things stall - Upload, label, and organize received medical records to the correct patient profiles in Salesforce with extreme attention to detail - Maintain accurate documentation of all provider interactions and collection activity in Salesforce — if it’s not logged, it didn’t happen - Meet or exceed performance metrics for collection volume and turnaround times — we move quickly, and we expect our team to do the same - Build professional, effective relationships with provider offices to facilitate smoother record access — charm and clarity go a long way - Proactively identify and resolve issues (wrong fax numbers, unresponsive offices, missing authorizations) — don’t wait to be told what to fix - Use your judgment and stay aligned with HIPAA and internal data privacy protocols at all times - Use a reliable, fast computer and stable high-speed internet — if your system slows you down, so does our team - Work independently with integrity — this is a remote role, but we can see your activity. We don’t micromanage, but we do track output. Clocking in without producing results is not an option. WHO YOU ARE - Must be 18+ years of age - Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple requests and shifting priorities - Clear, professional communication skills — both written and verbal — for interacting with providers and internal teams - Demonstrated phone etiquette and persistence when following up with healthcare facilities - High attention to detail and consistent documentation habits - Self-motivated and able to work independently without direct supervision - Experience in medical records, healthcare admin, or customer service is a plus - Familiarity with HIPAA, record retrieval processes, or EMR systems is preferred but not required - Proficiency with Salesforce or similar CRM systems is highly valued - Reliable, up-to-date personal computer and high-speed internet required - Preference given to candidates who can work 30+ hours/week - Ideal candidates are fast learners, tech-comfortable, and able to keep pace in a dynamic environment Don't meet every qualification? No worries! We believe that passion, curiosity, and the right mindset are just as important as a checklist of skills. If you’re excited about what we’re building, we encourage you to apply.
