- Coordinate closely with medical providers, behavioral health staff, harm reduction teams, and traditional medicine providers to ensure seamless care transitions and collaborative treatment planning.
- Build and maintain administrative systems to support efficient documentation, communication, and billing across both components of MAT services.
