About the Role

The Telehealth Navigator is the first point of contact for families initiating a pediatric video visit. This role ensures patients are connected, verifies necessary information, and prepares them for the clinician, thereby reducing no-shows, technical delays, and providing a positive virtual care experience.

Responsibilities

  • Review the daily telehealth schedule and flag visits missing consent, insurance or contact information.
  • Send visit links and reminders by text, email or patient portal; confirm the family knows how to join.
  • Contact families who have not logged in by the scheduled time and help them connect or reschedule.
  • Log in to the telehealth platform and open the visit 5–10 minutes before the clinician.
  • Greet the patient and caregiver, and troubleshoot audio, video, connection and device issues.
  • Verify patient identity using two identifiers and confirm the adult present is the parent, legal guardian or authorized caregiver.
  • Confirm the patient's physical location (state) at the time of the visit, as required for licensure and billing.
  • Confirm and update demographics, contact information, preferred language, pharmacy and insurance in the EHR.
  • Record the reason for visit and chief concern in the caregiver's own words; enter it for the clinician.
  • Complete or confirm telehealth consent and required screening questionnaires per clinic protocol.
  • Arrange a qualified medical interpreter when needed.
  • Notify the clinician that the patient is checked in and ready, then hand off the visit.
  • Help families schedule follow-up appointments, referrals or in-person visits as ordered.
  • Route portal messages, forms and questions to the appropriate team member.
  • Document check-in steps, technical issues and no-shows accurately in the EHR and tracking logs.
  • Recognize urgent or emergency concerns raised during check-in and alert the clinician or nurse immediately, following clinic escalation protocol.
  • Track recurring technical or workflow problems and share them with the Practice Manager.
  • Serve as a resource to families and staff on telehealth tools.
  • Perform other related duties as assigned.

Requirements

  • High school diploma or GED.
  • At least 1 year of experience in customer service, front-desk, patient registration or office support, or completion of a medical assistant or medical office program.

  • Medical assistant certificate or certification (CCMA, CMA or RMA).
  • Experience in a pediatric or ambulatory clinic setting.
