• Coordinate communication between you, your referring physician, the BMT health care team and other hospital departments.
• Work with the hospital's financial services representatives and your insurance company to help you secure insurance coverage for your treatment.
• Communicate with you and your referring physician about your medical condition and possible dates for evaluation and admission.
• Identify and select potential donors for transplant.
