Pulmonary Rehab Coordinator

To be part of our organization, every employee should understand and share in the YNHHS Vision, support our Mission, and live our Values. These values - integrity, patient-centered, respect, accountability, and compassion - must guide what we do, as individuals and professionals, every day.

The Pulmonary Rehabilitation Coordinator serves as the liaison between the patient and the referring physician and pulmonary rehabilitation team, managing and coordinating all aspects of the patient's care ensuring seamless coordination. The Pulmonary Rehabilitation Coordinator researches the patient's medical history and documentation, coordinates the pulmonary rehabilitation evaluation and subsequent sessions, and reviews the patient's insurance. Working closely with the pulmonary rehabilitation team, the Coordinator reviews patient information to confirm completeness and accuracy ensuring that all required clinical information (i.e. PFT's) is available prior to scheduling of evaluation. In addition, the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Coordinator ensures that all referrals, pre-authorizations, and pre-certifications, are received prior to services being rendered.
