● Provide exceptional service and guidance to patients throughout the testing process.

● Escalate clinical questions or unusual case issues to the appropriate internal contact.

● Maintain detailed and timely case notes in Salesforce.

● Provide backup support to the Senior Patient Navigation Specialist when needed (e.g. inbox coverage, TRF routing, or special communications).

● Adhere to all internal privacy and compliance policies, including HIPAA.
