• Act as a central liaison between patients, healthcare providers, and other external parties by responding to inquiries, providing status updates, resolving documentation issues and inconsistencies, facilitating efficient coordination of genomic testing services, and returning all final reports to the ordering physician.
• Identify and report duplicate records, incorrect statuses, or incoming phone calls
• Document all communications within NetSuite
• Monitor and fulfill requests for genomic sample collection kits
• Coordinate the distribution of genomic sample collection kits by processing requests, verifying shipping information, tracking inventory availability, and ensuring timely delivery to patients and healthcare providers.
• Track sample return status and follow up with the courier and physician when samples have not been received
• Proactively monitor specimen return activity, investigate delayed or missing shipments, communicate with courier services and provider offices, and implement follow-up actions to minimize testing delays.
• Work with 3rd party vendors that support kit manufacturing and shipping
• Collaborate with external vendors responsible for kit production and logistics to ensure service-level expectations are met.
• Assist QA in documenting any non-conformances or complaints
• Support QA initiatives by documenting client complaints and non-conformance events, assisting with investigations, and continuous process improvement initiatives.
• Ensure patient information is handled in accordance with HIPAA and company privacy policies.
• Ensure that all final reports are accounted for with respect to cost and revenue.
• Build kit assembly for each report sent.
• Adjust inventory for each report sent.
