Remote | Full-Time | NuNavigator Patient Services

Who We Are

NuvemRx helps community health providers deliver on their mission by simplifying the complexity of pharmacy operations, with a suite of scalable solutions that integrate software, intelligence, and expert support to illuminate savings, expand access, and elevate patient care.

What We Are Looking For

At NuvemRx, we hold a high bar because our work directly impacts patient care. We look for people who embody our core values:

• Mission Always: Every choice is a chance to serve our customers and improve healthcare
• Be a Pioneer: Take initiative, solve problems, and build what does not yet exist

We are also a fast-growing company, which means you bring strong ownership, comfort with ambiguity, resilience, and a bias toward action.

About the Role

The Patient Referral Coordinator keeps NuNavigator patients connected to the specialty care they need. Working alongside our FQHC partner, you manage the full referral-to-appointment journey: scheduling specialist visits, reminding patients so they show up prepared, managing no-shows and waitlists, and setting up follow-up care. You also help patients understand how the onsite pharmacy supports their care and keep information flowing smoothly between the health center and specialty offices.

This is a fully remote role, open to candidates based anywhere in the United States. We have a strong preference for candidates located in the Sharon Hill, PA (Greater Philadelphia) or Dallas, TX area, though the right person will be considered regardless of location.

What You’ll Do

Scheduling & Referral Coordination

• Schedule specialist appointments for referred patients and confirm details with the patient and specialty office.
• Deliver appointment reminders via phone, text, and other channels to reduce missed visits.
• Manage no-shows and cancellations — follow up with patients, reschedule promptly, and keep the process moving.
• Maintain and work waitlists, filling earlier openings quickly as they become available.
• Schedule follow-up appointments and confirm patients complete their recommended care.

Patient Education & Care Coordination

• Educate patients on the benefits of using the FQHC’s onsite pharmacy, including care coordination, convenience, and improved access to medications.
• Coordinate with specialty care offices to ensure referral documentation, records, and results are shared accurately and on time.
• Keep referral and scheduling records current and accurate in the patient management system.
• Handle all patient information in accordance with HIPAA and NuvemRx compliance policies.

• High school diploma or equivalent.

Preferred Experience

• Experience in an FQHC, community health, or care coordination environment.
• Familiarity with specialty care referral workflows.

Who Thrives in This Role

• You bring genuine empathy and professionalism with patients who may be navigating a stressful or difficult health situation.
• You are comfortable juggling competing priorities, switching between systems, and coordinating across multiple offices.
• You collaborate naturally with health center teams, specialty offices, and pharmacy staff to keep patients moving through their care.
• You are adaptable and curious, especially as technology continues to shape how care coordination work gets done.
