The Pharmacy Technician - Fulfillment & Triage supports both the non-dispensing pharmacy intake process and the dispensing pharmacy fulfillment process across the patient access journey, from prescription intake and coverage determination through treatment initiation and ongoing refill cycles. This role applies pharmacy technician knowledge and experience to coordinate prescription triage, pharmacy routing, and prescription fulfillment. The Pharmacy Technician - Fulfillment & Triage serves as a central point of coordination among patients/caregivers, prescribers, dispensing pharmacies, internal PRO-spectus teams, and manufacturer-program stakeholders. This role identifies missing or incomplete prescription information, coordinates with pharmacy partners, and helps resolve prescription-processing and fulfillment barriers.
