What is National Biologic Coordinators Day?

Biologic coordinators are some of healthcare's most influential advocates for patients, but their jobs go unrecognized all the time. That's why National Biologic Coordinators Day, on November 1, will honor biologic coordinators around the world.

Patients may have a biologic therapy, which can be a common treatment option. However, obtaining these medications can be costly, and patients often need assistance understanding the process. Biologic coordinators come in here. A biologic coordinator is a key member of a medical practice's office staff. They may be a physician, nurse, physician's assistant, medical assistant, or an office/practice manager. These individuals support patients in navigating the often difficult and complicated process of obtaining access to prescribed biologic drugs.

A biologic coordinator also collaborates with the patient, prescribing specialist, specialty pharmacy, manufacturer, and insurance company. Patients are accompanied by pharmacists who help patients start and maintain their biologic medications at any step of the process.
