Hiring a refill request coordinator in New York
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.
New York has more than 90,000 active physicians, with major healthcare hubs in NYC, Long Island, Westchester, and Buffalo. Heavy commercial payer mix. Strong demand from specialty groups (dermatology, ortho, GI), behavioral health, and urgent care chains.
What a New York 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.
