About this role
House Rx is building specialty pharmacy operations from the ground up, and this role puts you at the center of that work. As a Care Coordinator in their Columbia, Maryland clinic, you'll handle the practical mechanics that make specialty medications accessible: processing prior authorizations, sourcing financial assistance, managing claims, and coordinating dispensing and shipping. You'll also be the human connection—answering patient questions, troubleshooting problems, and acting as a liaison between patients, providers, and pharmacists both in person and by phone.
This position suits someone with solid pharmacy technician fundamentals who's ready to grow beyond routine tasks. You should have hands-on experience with prior authorizations, benefits investigation, and financial assistance programs, plus comfort with pharmacy software systems like QS1 or ComputerRx. Familiarity with specialty medications—particularly in autoimmune, endocrinology, and oncology—is expected, though willingness to learn new therapeutic areas matters more than perfect knowledge. State licensure or registration as a pharmacy technician is required; national CPhT certification is preferred.
The role demands someone who thrives in a startup environment where processes are still being built and your input shapes how things work. You'll need to be a creative problem solver, comfortable collaborating across a team while also taking initiative independently. The position is hybrid but requires on-site presence at the clinic. House Rx offers paid time off, parental leave, comprehensive benefits, and equity, with a starting salary of $22 per hour.
