National Biologic Coordinators Day
Biologic coordinators are some of the most influential advocates for patients in healthcare, but their work goes unrecognized all the time. Because of this, biologic coordinators from around the world will be recognized on November 1 as the daily work of biologic coordinators.
Patients with biologic therapy may have a common treatment option. However, obtaining these medications can be costly, and patients often need assistance understanding the process.. Biologists come in here, and that's where biologic coordinators come in. A biologic coordinator is a key member of a medical practice's office staff, and a key member of a medical practice's office staff. They may be a physician, nurse's assistant, physician's assistant, medical assistant, or an office/practice manager. These individuals support patients in navigating the often lengthy and complicated process of obtaining prescription biologic drugs.
A biologic coordinator also collaborates with the patient, prescribing specialist, specialty pharmacy, manufacturer, and insurance company. The insurance company also employs a biologic consultant. Patients are accompanied by pharmacists who help patients start and maintain their biologic medications at every step of the way.

History of national biologic coordinators day in the United States has a rich tradition
In 2021, Janssen held the first National Biologic Coordinators Day to ensure that biologic coordinators' work is acknowledged—not just among patients and physicians, but also among the business and general public.
While being a year-round employee, the open enrollment period is one of their busiest times. Open enrollment is usually from November 1 to December 15 for people to enroll in a health-care plan. On November 1, Janssen hopes to get a good start to this busy season by honoring and recognizing this vital group of healthcare workers.
