Credentialing Specialist

🏥 About Sailor Health

Sailor Health is on a mission to solve the mental health crisis among older adults. In the United States, older adults have the highest suicide rates of any age group yet receive the least mental health care. By 2030, over 65 million seniors will make up nearly a quarter of the U.S. population, creating one of the largest and most urgent challenges in healthcare.

Sailor is building the platform for senior mental health, connecting older adults, therapists, healthcare professionals, and insurance plans. Our AI-native operating system powers seamless care coordination, real-time clinical insights, and insurance billing – enabling therapists to spend more time delivering compassionate care.

We are growing quickly and have partnered with Medicare to offer affordable and exceptional psychotherapy to hundreds of patients.

• Provider support: Serve as a credentialing point of contact for providers and internal teams, answering questions and coordinating documentation submissions.
