Description
🧠 ABOUT LEGION HEALTH At Legion Health https://legionhealth.com/, we believe everyone deserves fast, affordable, and world-class health care, and we’re developing the AI infrastructure to deliver it ourselves at world scale. Legion is building autonomous medical care (the AI doctor), starting with psychiatry. Our AI-native care-delivery platform currently automates 95% of the administrative work required for us to deliver direct patient care. We also recently became the first company ever to receive regulatory authorization to let AI prescribe psychiatric medications https://nypost.com/2026/03/27/business/artificial-intelligence-can-now-prescribe-mental-health-drugs/, allowing us to not only collapse health care’s admin costs but also its clinical labor costs—shifting this industry’s economics from humans to tokens. Our technical moat is hard to copy—we combine rich data, production AI, doctors in the loop, and end-to-end care operations to deliver measurably better care to a clinically complex patient population. This has helped us produce tens of thousands of total visits in just 2 years, all while holding ops costs flat and achieving industry-leading patient NPS and retention. While the last generation of healthcare startups made the existing system incrementally more efficient, Legion is rebuilding full-stack care delivery from first principles. Our vision? A 10X better patient experience that’s higher quality, less expensive, and more scalable than ever before. And a 10X better clinician experience that frees our providers to focus on what matters most: caring for patients. Legion Health is backed by Y Combinator, leading venture capital firms, and founders from Function Health, Modern Health, Everly Health, Trusted Health, Clipboard Health, PatientPing, Sesame Care, Faire, EasyPost, and fuboTV. Join us as we build the future of health care: faster, higher-quality, and more affordable, powered by doctors and AI working together. 📍 ROLE LOGISTICS - Job Type: Contract - Role Type: Credentialing & Payer Contracting Operations - Ideal Experience Level: 2+ years - Location: Fully Remote - Work Hours: 8:00 AM–5:30 PM Central Time 🚀 THE OPPORTUNITY We’re looking for a highly organized, detail-oriented Credentialing & Payer Contracting Coordinator to help clinicians move efficiently from onboarding to payer participation and billing readiness.
