We pride ourselves on maintaining a welcoming and efficient front office that acts as the first point of contact for patients, facilitating smooth clinical workflows and helping patients navigate their healthcare experience with ease.

The role of Medical Office Assistant / Receptionist is vital to the success of our practice. This position serves as the frontline representative, greeting patients and visitors with professionalism and warmth, while managing a variety of front-office functions that are critical to the daily operations of our medical office. This includes handling a high volume of telephone inquiries through a multi-line phone system, scheduling and confirming appointments, checking patients in and out, and collecting necessary payments such as copays and deductibles. Additionally, the Medical Office Assistant is responsible for verifying patient insurance eligibility, obtaining prior authorizations for procedures, and maintaining accurate patient records within our electronic medical records (EMR) system. The individual in this role must possess exceptional communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to multitask effectively in a fast-paced environment.

This position demands a strong understanding of medical terminology, insurance plans—including PPO, HMO, Medicare, and Medi-Cal—and a thorough knowledge of HIPAA regulations to ensure patient confidentiality is upheld at all times. The Medical Office Assistant must also be flexible, as travel to other clinic locations may be necessary to provide coverage as business needs dictate. Reliable transportation is essential. The work schedule includes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with occasional additional hours based on staffing needs.

By joining our team, the Medical Office Assistant will play a key role in enhancing patient satisfaction and operational efficiency. This role requires a professional demeanor, strong organizational skills, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a team. If you are passionate about excellent customer service and are looking to contribute to a supportive healthcare environment, this role offers a rewarding opportunity to grow and excel within our medical practice.
