Day in the life of
Practice Coordinator – Daniela Cordero, BHSA
My typical day is making sure the office is running smoothly, especially the days the doctor is in the office seeing patients. When I’m not supervising a good office flow, I’m speaking to patients on surgical plans and details pertaining to their surgery. During quieter moments, I catch up with emails and ensure that surgery coordination is being done and all checkpoints for surgery success are done. Getting in touch with insurance and insurance authorizations is what takes most of my time.
Pros
Being able to help patients and being a part of their surgery success for a better lifestyle.
Cons
Occasional difficult patients.
