  • Insurance Verification & Front Desk: Register patients, verify insurance eligibility, determine financial responsibility, collect co-pays, reconcile payment logs, and maintain EMR accuracy.
  • Patient Service: Educate patients on both clinical procedures and financial expectations, provide clear discharge instructions, and de-escalate concerns with empathy and professionalism.
  • Team & Compliance: Participate in daily huddles, maintain compliance logs (crash cart, fridge temps, etc.), support infection-control and HIPAA standards.
 
What We’re Looking For
  • Completion of an accredited Medical Assistant program.
  • Active national MA certification (CMA, RMA, CCMA, or equivalent) at hire.
  • At least 1+ year of experience with insurance verification and patient registration required.

  • EMR proficiency (Experity preferred); comfort with payer portals (e.g., Waystar).
  • Proven venipuncture and specimen collection skills.
 
Additional requirements
  • Must successfully pass a drug screen and criminal background check as a condition of employment.
  • Full availability including ability to work evenings/weekends and float to nearby centers as needed.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
  • Competitive pay and benefits package.
  • Opportunities for professional growth and cross-training.
  • Collaborative, supportive, patient-first team culture.
  • Make an impact by delivering The Right Care. Right Now.
