@jacquelinedicristina
I coordinate compassionate, barrier-reducing care for high-risk and chronically ill patients and families.
What I'm looking for
I've supported high-risk, chronically ill patients and families across Medicare care advocacy, behavioral health, hospice, primary care, pediatrics, and urgent care.
At WellMed, I managed a caseload of 35+ high-risk Medicare patients, navigating coverage, prior authorizations, providers, pharmacies, preventive care, and support programs to reduce barriers to therapy access and continuity of care.
I'm a bilingual social worker who brings trauma-informed, culturally responsive care to psychosocial assessment, service planning, resource navigation, and audit-ready documentation in Salesforce, Altruista, Zephyr, and Domo.
