• Support prior authorizations and documentation for PFTs, sleep studies, PAP therapy, oxygen, nebulizers, respiratory equipment, and specialty medications.
• Use the EMR to manage orders, documentation, and routing.
• Patient care and education
• Provide inhaler technique training, spacer and nebulizer education, oxygen safety counseling, and preparation for respiratory testing.
• Occasionally assist with in‑clinic nebulizer treatments, 6‑minute walk tests, and ambulatory pulse oximetry.
