What a integrative / functional medicine lab results coordinator does
An integrative and functional medicine lab results coordinator owns the functional testing loop end to end - ordering comprehensive metabolic, microbiome and stool, DUTCH hormone, organic acids, food-sensitivity, and micronutrient panels through Rupa Health and direct-to-lab portals, tracking specimen kits out to and back from the patient, chasing pending results, and routing completed reports to the practitioner for interpretation.
They flag abnormal or critical values per your protocol, prep result summaries ahead of the review visit, and make sure no panel is lost between order and care-plan adjustment.
An integrative lab results coordinator is a remote staff member who keeps the diagnostic backbone of a functional practice tight, so practitioners always have the data they need to build and refine a care plan.

Build a complete remote team for your integrative / functional medicine practice.
Care Coordinator
An integrative and functional medicine care coordinator manages the patient journey through multi-phase protocols - gut-healing, autoimmune, thyroid, detox, and hormone-optimization programs that unfold over months. They schedule the full arc of follow-up visits and lab rechecks up front, track where each patient is in their protocol, and make sure the supplement plan, diet phase, and retesting cadence stay aligned with the practitioner's plan.
Learn morePatient Outreach Coordinator
An integrative and functional medicine patient outreach coordinator runs proactive recall and reactivation - patients due for a retest or care-plan review, lapsed protocol participants, dormant patients who have not booked in 6+ months, and seasonal program promotions. They segment the patient base by protocol and spend, run multi-touch outreach by text, call, and email, document every attempt in the practice software, and report conversion to the practitioner.
Learn morePrior Authorization Specialist
An integrative and functional medicine prior authorization specialist owns the prior auth lifecycle for the covered side of root-cause care - advanced and functional lab panels that payers will reimburse, low-dose naltrexone (LDN), compounded hormones, and other therapies that require approval. They submit through CoverMyMeds, Surescripts, and payer portals, attach clinical documentation and medical-necessity notes, follow up on status, work denials, and file appeals.
Learn moreVirtual Medical Assistant
An integrative and functional medicine virtual medical assistant runs the day-to-day administrative engine of a root-cause practice - scheduling and confirming visits, prepping detailed intake and health-history forms, ordering functional lab panels through Rupa Health and direct-to-lab portals, coordinating results back to the practitioner, and managing supplement and prescription refills through Fullscript and the pharmacy. They work inside Charm, Cerbo, Practice Better, Healthie, or your EHR exactly like an in-house coordinator.
Learn moreWhat $14/hr really buys
What $14/hr includes by default
Other vendors quote a lower hourly rate, then bill these as add-ons. At Staffing For Doctors, the four things that actually drive clinical accuracy and accountability are bundled into the same $14/hr.
US-based account management
Every account has a US-based Customer Success Manager who owns escalations, weekly check-ins, and QA review — not a shared offshore inbox.
Specialty-matched pods
Your VA is trained inside a pod built around your specialty's EHR, payer mix, and workflows across 55+ specialties — not a generalist pulled from a healthcare queue.
Weekly QA scoring with client dashboard
Every placement is scored weekly against an accuracy and turnaround rubric, and you see those scores live in your dashboard — not a monthly summary email.
HIPAA infrastructure included
BAA, audited devices, AES-256 encryption, MFA, role-based access, and audit logs are part of every engagement at no extra charge — not a compliance package billed on top.
