Hiring a refill request coordinator in Arizona
A refill coordinator manages the daily flood of pharmacy refill requests through Surescripts, fax, and patient portal. They check the EHR for active prescriptions, last visit date, last labs, and refill protocols, then route the request for one-click provider approval — or schedule the patient for a needed follow-up if they're overdue.
Arizona has more than 25,000 active physicians, with strong growth in Phoenix, Tucson, and Scottsdale and a large Medicare-eligible population. Heavy CCM, AWV, dermatology, and orthopedic demand from snowbird and retiree-heavy practice panels.
What a Arizona refill request coordinator does
Our refill coordinators work the refill worklist all day, handle controlled substance monitoring (PDMP checks), pharmacy clarifications, and prior auth triggers when an insurance plan suddenly requires one for a chronic medication. The result: a refill inbox at zero, no medication gaps, and overdue patients surfaced before their next refill.
