Hi everyone,

I am not able to find a NOC code that perfectly matches my job.

My Job title is Reimbursement Specialist.

I am working for a patient assistance program at a pharmaceutical services company. Below is the position summary and job description on my job offer.


POSITION SUMMARY:
The Reimbursement Specialist is responsible for undertaking the management of specific projects or cases assigned to him/her with regards to reimbursement, within the Specialty Services department. The Reimbursement Specialist is responsible for overall management of their patient cases.

PRIMARY DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
• Coordinate and manage all aspects required in order to obtain prescription drug coverage for patients;
• Coordinate cases with insurance companies, physician' offices and healthcare professionals in order to maximize reimbursement solutions;
• Coordinate documents, submissions and all related paperwork to insurance companies, public/federal funding programs;
• Implement Financial Means Test as required in an effort to maximize patient's prescription drug coverage
• Coordinate pharmacy processes required once funding has been obtained; and

This position requires post-secondary education.


Originally I was thinking of NOC 4212 or NOC 1243. My employer does not use the NOC system so HR is unable to help me out. I emailed the information above to HRSDC and the corresponding NOC code they provided to me is NOC 1312 and NOC 1313. I think NOC 1312 is more relevant among the two but I am not sure if this is the right one for my job.

P.S. I have a Bachelor degree from an university in Canada.

Please advise if you have any thoughts or suggestions.

Thank you very much for your assistance!

So I have spoken to my HR to see if they will be able to provide me a reference letter with more specific job duties and responsibilities. They sent me a copy of the job description to see if the information they have is sufficient but it is same as the one I got with my job offer. If they are unable to provide a reference letter with a list of specific duties, these will be the ones listed on the reference letter. Do you think they are too vague or they are enough for the VO to understand what I am doing? Do you think these duties match what is stated for NOC 1312? Is there any other suggestions for the NOC code?

Your help is greatly appreciated!!
