At Fairfax Radiology Centers (FRC), exceptional patient care begins long before a patient arrives for their imaging appointment. Behind every smooth visit is a team of dedicated professionals working to ensure that orders are accurate, information is complete, and patients know what to expect.

We're seeking a detail-oriented, proactive, and service-minded Pre-Visit Navigator to help patients and our imaging teams prepare for a successful visit with their CT and MRI exams.

In this role, you'll play an important part in identifying and resolving potential issues before the day of service. From reviewing imaging orders and coordinating with referring providers to helping patients understand exam preparation and financial requirements, your work will help eliminate unnecessary delays and create a more positive patient experience.

  • Provide clear, compassionate communication that helps patients feel informed, supported, and confident about their upcoming visit.
Partner with Teams Across Fairfax Radiology
  • Serve as a resource for Hospitality Associates, offering guidance and support with patient registration, insurance verification, and front desk processes.
  • Collaborate with centralized scheduling, imaging center staff, and Center Managers to address potential barriers to patient care.
  • Escalate unresolved or time-sensitive issues to the appropriate teams to ensure timely follow-through.
  • Build strong working relationships across departments to support accurate information, efficient workflows, and a consistent patient experience.
Support Accuracy and Continuous Improvement
  • Help maintain the integrity of patient and referring provider information through database support activities, including patient account merges and resolution of referring physician records marked TBD.
  • Collaborate with Radiology Documentation Specialists to resolve data discrepancies and maintain accurate records.
  • Identify and report recurring order issues, registration gaps, and workflow trends that may present opportunities for improvement.
  • Stay informed about outpatient imaging procedures, scheduling requirements, and organizational policies.
What You'll Bring
  • High school diploma or equivalent required; associate degree or higher in healthcare, radiologic sciences, or a related field preferred.
  • Experience in outpatient radiology scheduling or patient registration is required.
  • Exceptional attention to detail and the ability to identify potential issues before they affect patient care.
  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and follow through on outstanding items.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to explain information clearly and professionally.
  • A collaborative, service-oriented approach to working with patients, referring providers, and internal teams.
