Hiring a surgical coordinator in Florida
A surgical coordinator owns the end-to-end pre-op workflow: insurance verification, prior authorization for the procedure, OR scheduling, anesthesia and assistant coordination, patient pre-op education, and post-op follow-up. They keep the OR calendar tight and prevent revenue loss from cancelled or denied procedures.
Florida has more than 60,000 active physicians and the largest Medicare population in the country, with major hubs in Miami, Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville. Heavy CCM, AWV, and prior auth volume from internal medicine, cardiology, and dermatology practices serving older patients.
What a Florida surgical coordinator does
Our surgical coordinators are trained for orthopedics, OB-GYN, dermatology (Mohs), cardiology (cath/EP), and general surgery practices. They confirm coverage, secure auths, schedule the surgical facility and anesthesia, send pre-op packets to the patient, and confirm everything in the 48 hours before surgery. They also handle DME ordering for orthopedic post-op needs.
