What a internal medicine lab & imaging results coordinator does
An internal medicine lab and imaging results coordinator triages every result that lands in the provider's inbox — labs from Quest, LabCorp, and hospital systems, plus radiology reports from imaging centers. They normal-flag routine values per provider protocol, send patient letters and portal messages for normal results, and escalate abnormal or critical values to the provider with a draft action plan and recommended follow-up appointment.
For internal medicine practices that order hundreds of tests a week, this role is the difference between an inbox at zero and a missed-result malpractice exposure.
An internal medicine virtual results coordinator is a dedicated remote team member who ensures every lab and imaging result is reviewed, communicated, and acted on in a closed-loop workflow.

Virtual Medical Assistant
An internal medicine virtual medical assistant supports the complex adult care workflow of an internist by managing scheduling, intake for new and follow-up patients, chart pre-visit prep, message triage, refill routing, and patient phone calls — all inside Athena, Epic, eClinicalWorks, NextGen, or Practice Fusion. They prioritize the panel by acuity, ensuring high-risk patients with multiple comorbidities are not lost in the inbox.
Learn moreMedical Scribe
An internal medicine medical scribe joins each adult patient encounter live over secure audio or video and documents the entire visit into the EHR — detailed HPI, comprehensive ROS, exam, assessment with differential reasoning, and a problem-based plan — so notes are closed in the room. Scribes are trained in the long, layered visits internal medicine demands: medication reconciliation across 8–15 drugs, comorbidity management, and follow-up of multiple specialist recommendations.
Learn moreCare Coordinator
An internal medicine care coordinator owns the work between visits — closing care gaps, managing transitions of care from the hospital (TCM), coordinating home health and hospice referrals, following up on abnormal results, and outreach for chronic disease management. They live in the EHR registry, pull HEDIS gap lists, and call patients personally to bring them back in.
Learn moreReferral Coordinator
An internal medicine referral coordinator manages the high volume of outbound referrals an adult primary care office generates — cardiology, pulmonology, GI, oncology, endocrinology, nephrology, behavioral health, and surgical specialties. They confirm insurance, secure prior auths and referral numbers required by Medicare Advantage and HMOs, send chart notes to the receiving specialist, schedule the patient, and chase the consult note back into the EHR.
Learn morePrior Authorization Specialist
An internal medicine prior authorization specialist owns prior auths for advanced imaging (cardiac MRI, PET, CT angiography), brand and biologic medications (GLP-1s, SGLT2s, PCSK9 inhibitors, biologics for IBD and rheumatology), DME, and Medicare Advantage specialist referrals. They submit through CoverMyMeds, Surescripts, and payer portals, attach required clinical documentation, follow up on status, work denials, and file peer-to-peer appeals.
Learn moreInsurance Verification Specialist
An internal medicine insurance verification specialist runs eligibility 48–72 hours before every visit — confirming the patient's PCP designation on Medicare Advantage, primary care visit copays, deductibles, and any visit limits or carve-outs for behavioral health and labs. They identify dual-eligible Medicare/Medicaid patients, MSP coverage, and recent plan changes that would otherwise cause denials.
