Lung Cancer Nurse Navigator

Role of navigator

Our nurse navigator is a certified oncology nurse who serves as a patient advocate throughout the treatment process. For you, this coordinated effort translates into faster treatment, better outcomes, and fewer headaches.

Our nurse navigator can do the following things and more:

• Answer questions and coordinate care
• Listen to you and provide guidance on difficult decisions
• Provide information on insurance and benefit coverage
• Bridge the gap in communication between you and your provider
• Ensure appointments are set up in a timely and efficient manner
• Assist you in understanding complex benefits and the prior authorization process
