Job Details
Help make transplantation more accessible by guiding patients through one of the most complex and consequential parts of their care journey.
As a Transplant Financial Coordinator, you will bring clarity to insurance coverage, financial planning, and authorization requirements so patients and clinical teams can move forward with confidence.
This is an opportunity to apply your knowledge of healthcare insurance in a role where accuracy, responsiveness, and compassion directly support patient access and transplant outcomes. You will join a patient-focused team working to meet growing transplant needs while delivering a thoughtful and coordinated experience.
The Role
The Transplant Financial Coordinator serves as a key connection among patients, insurers, and the multidisciplinary transplant team. You will meet patients beginning with their initial visit, help them understand the financial aspects of transplantation, and establish a plan for securing required transplant authorizations.
This is a busy, high-priority environment where circumstances can change quickly, and effective prioritization is essential. An average day may include:
- Meeting with transplant patients and families to discuss insurance coverage, financial expectations, and next steps.
- Developing individualized financial plans that help patients navigate the transplant process.
- Coordinating transplant request authorizations and following issues through resolution.
- Reviewing insurance information for accuracy, identifying potential coverage barriers, and communicating concerns promptly.
- Partnering with clinical, administrative, and payer contacts to keep patient cases moving forward.
- Managing multiple time-sensitive priorities while maintaining clear, professional documentation and communication.
- Providing compassionate, patient-centered support during a complex and often stressful healthcare experience.
The successful candidate will combine insurance knowledge, sound judgment, organization, and professional communication with a results-driven approach. You will thrive here if you can manage competing demands, remain attentive to detail, and keep the patient’s needs at the center of every interaction.
This is a full-time position that is primarily onsite, with some work-from-home flexibility based on team and operational needs.

Organization
In 1819, the University of Virginia established a new model for intellectual exchange and cross-disciplinary collaboration in higher education. Two hundred years later, as a major research institution, we continue to challenge conventions, lead with ingenuity and advance knowledge for the common good.
What began as an innovative idea has become one of the nation’s leading public research universities, with over 21,000 undergraduate, graduate and professional students. UVA also has over 3,000 full-time faculty offering more than 400 degrees.
Each of the University’s eleven schools has its own distinctive mission, working together to garner consistently high rankings—including #2 Best Value Public College (Princeton Review, 2016), #3 Public University in the Nation (U.S. News & World Report, 2016), and #3 Best Value Among Public Colleges (Kiplinger’s, 2016).
As we invest in and strengthen our research capabilities, UVA seeks new faculty ready to uncover new insights, rewrite old rules and collaborate on intellectual discoveries.
RESEARCH COLLABORATIONS THAT CROSS DISCIPLINES
As an R1 institution, the University’s research centers, consortia and laboratories are on the leading edge of discovery and technology, offering collaborative spaces for students and faculty to solve global problems.
Our professors are recognized members of major national scholarly and professional organizations, including the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Our faculty’s engagement in interdisciplinary research is being facilitated by new research institutes specializing in everything from big data to brain functioning, and by cluster hires across schools.
NATIONALLY RANKED HEALTH SYSTEM
UVA is also home to a nationally renowned academic medical center and the UVA Health System, which serves a three-part mission to treat patients, conduct translational research and train medical practitioners in a wide variety of disciplines.
Established as the nation’s 10th medical school in 1825, the institution has since grown to include a 612-bed hospital and a Level I trauma center, nationally recognized cancer and heart centers, a Children’s Hospital, and primary and specialty clinics throughout Central Virginia.
The UVA Medical Center is consistently ranked among the nation’s best hospitals by the U.S. News & World Report magazine and has been named among the top 25 percent in seven specialties.
INSPIRING STUDENTS, INSPIRED TEACHING
The vast majority of UVA students come from the top 10% of their high school class, as well as from all 50 states, over 142 countries and a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite their diversity, all UVA students share a love of learning and a drive to achieve.
One of the reasons students choose Virginia is our unique residential culture. At UVA, the community of students, faculty and staff personifies the Jeffersonian idea that living and learning are connected. The Academical Village was constructed to support a unique residential experience, with faculty living in the Pavilions, students occupying Lawn rooms and the world-famous Rotunda at its heart. The University’s residential culture continues to support this experience today—strengthened by students, faculty and staff rich in backgrounds, ideas and perspectives. Our unique culture is also paying dividends in innovation: UVA’s faculty have generated more than 130 patents since 2010.
Perhaps most importantly, faculty come to UVA knowing that instruction is as important as research, and they pride themselves on their many teaching awards. Our best professors look for ways to encourage, mentor and develop tomorrow’s leaders inside and outside the classroom.
