About the Role
The Patient Imaging Coordinator is often the first and most consistent point of connection for our patients. In this role, you help set the tone for a calm, organized, and compassionate imaging experience from the moment a patient arrives to the moment they leave. This role blends hands-on care coordination with the operational precision of a Patient Imaging Coordinator, giving you broad scope and real impact every day.
You will serve as a trusted resource for patient check-in, scheduling/rescheduling, patient discharge/care instructions, insurance verification, and payment collection while working closely with sonographers, clinical leaders, and our Revenue Cycle team. This is a role for someone who thrives on connection, moves comfortably between clinical and administrative tasks, and takes ownership of patient outcomes.

Coordinate with clinical staff, providers, and internal teams to proactively address scheduling gaps, coverage issues, and care continuity across locations.
Track patients requiring follow-up and conduct proactive outreach for missed appointments, incomplete referrals, or outstanding care needs.
Support clinical programs and patient experience initiatives, including patient education on care plans, enrollment in specialty services, and contribution to quality improvement efforts.
