Dedicated Care Coordinator NY Metro

Why Patients Need You

The Inflammation and Immunology Dedicated Care Coordinator (DCC) is a non-promotional, field-based role that supports patients’ access to PDPA and VFM products when prescribed by a licensed healthcare provider. The DCC owns the continual management and progression of the patient journey — from HUB enrollment through post-fill follow-up — working directly with patients, providers, payers, HUB partners, and third-party vendors. It is a dual patient- and HCP-facing role spanning a patient journey, and the colleague in this role carries 100% ownership of every case in their assigned geography.
What You Will Achieve

The DCC is a subject-matter expert on reimbursement, access, and coverage issues that can educate patients/caregivers and healthcare providers on matters relating to reimbursement, access, and coverage. The DCC will serve as the primary point of contact for patients/caregivers and healthcare providers regarding the status of their request for reimbursement support and access assistance and will also provide updates to patients/caregivers and healthcare providers on their status as appropriate. The DCC holds end-to-end case ownership: benefits investigation and verification, prior authorization and appeals support, appointment and baseline assessment coordination, Interim Care and voucher administration, copay support, prescription triage, and scheduled post-fill follow-up.
