[Hiring] Reimbursement Manager @Local Infusion

About Local Infusion

When a patient is diagnosed with a chronic autoimmune disease, they learn that managing their disease will be a lifetime responsibility. Their whole care experience is broken. The cost, the confusion, the antiquated technology. Patients sit in cold, fluorescent-lit rooms, for several hours at a time, multiple times a year for the rest of their lives! Outside of the room, the experience isn't any warmer. Inaccurate medical bills. A lack of communication. A referral process that's lengthy and daunting. For patients and their families, this isn't just treatment—this is their life.

Our team has spent decades in the infusion and healthcare industry. We saw all the mistakes the industry was making. At every step, we thought, "there has to be a better way."  Local Infusion is a thriving healthcare organization currently operating four rapidly growing centers throughout Maine,New Hampshire, Connecticut, New Jersey & Virginia.
