Who We Are

What You’ll Do
As a Patient Access Clinician, you will play a key role in creating an environment where patients and families feel supported, safe, and inspired to grow. You will:
Patient Access Coordination
- Respond to assigned referrals and inquiries within the PAC Promise standard of 10 minutes during assigned coverage hours.
- Collaborate with the admissions and other patient access team members to schedule and facilitate same-day assessments where clinically appropriate.
- Assist in collecting and verifying admission documentation, including consents, insurance information, and identification.
- Coordinate the handoff from assessment to admission with the receiving clinic team so the patient's clinical picture transfers accurately.
- Provide outbound referrals to alternate services or providers when BasePoint is not the appropriate level of care.
Clinical Assessment & Triage

- Identify emergent and urgent needs and prioritize the assessment queue accordingly.
- Recognize and initiate the need for additional screenings, including substance use, nutrition, abuse and neglect, and developmental screenings.
- Make appropriate referrals and provide warm handoffs for individuals who do not meet BasePoint admission criteria, including crisis resources where indicated.
- Apply BasePoint admission criteria and payor medical necessity criteria consistently across assessments.
Documentation & Authorization
- Complete and maintain accurate CRM documentation, assessment records, and admission documentation within required timeframes.
- Document clinical rationale with all received inquiries for recommendation of assessment, risk assessment, consult, and for the level of care recommendation clearly enough to support in clear handoffs, medical necessity, and payor review.
- Respond to assessment team, patient benefits coordinators, and payor requests for additional clinical information promptly to prevent delays in admission.
Communication & Collaboration
- Maintain thorough, professional communication with outreach, admissions, and clinical teams.
- Serve as a clinical point of contact and clinical resource for internal staff and external referral sources, including schools, hospitals, and community providers.
- Participate in case consultation and family engagement as needed during the intake process.
- Communicate with patients, families, guardians, and referral sources within the scope of HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2.
Compliance & Quality
- Uphold HIPAA, 42 CFR Part 2, and all applicable regulatory requirements in documentation and interactions.
- Maintain a working knowledge of clinical regulations, including Joint Commission standards and applicable state and federal law.
- Adhere to safety protocols and participate in quality improvement initiatives.
- Report incidents, near misses, and safety concerns per company policy.
- Performs other duties as assigned.
Every day, your work will help transform lives—building stronger minds, healthier families, and brighter futures.
What We’re Looking For
- Education and Licensure
- Master's degree in Counseling, Social Work, Marriage and Family Therapy, or a related behavioral health field required.
- Current Texas license as an LPC, LMSW, LMFT, or LCSW required. Associate-level and supervision-required licensees must maintain an active, approved supervision agreement.
