Chronic Care Medical Assistant

Company Overview:

Tellihealth is transforming how chronic care is delivered by combining powerful technology with compassionate, intelligent care. Our roots lie in the merger of two industry leaders, Accuhealth and Signal lamp Health, bringing together best-in-class Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) and Chronic Care Management (CCM) services under one unified vision.

While we've unified under the Tellihealth brand, we’ve retained the proven strengths of both legacy organizations. Today, our services continue under the names accuRPM and signalCCM—a reflection of the powerful, trusted programs our clients have relied on for years.

Through accuRPM and signalCCM, we empower providers to deliver proactive, remote support to patients managing chronic conditions. Our mission is to close the gaps in care by making high-quality, tech-enabled remote services accessible, efficient, and deeply human.

We're growing fast and looking for mission-driven team members who want to shape the future of connected care.
