Their commitment to compliance with healthcare regulations such as HIPAA, Joint Commission standards, and sliding fee scales reflects their dedication to ethical and accessible healthcare for all patients.
The Patient Registration Representative at CFHC plays a pivotal role as the first point of contact for patients entering the clinic.

This role requires strong teamwork, outstanding communication skills, and a passion for customer service to contribute positively to the overall patient experience.
In addition to handling patient data such as demographics, occupational, educational, and financial information, the Patient Registration Representative is responsible for maintaining accurate records, balancing end-of-day financial transactions, and supporting community outreach programs.

Candidates must exhibit organizational skills, interpersonal adeptness, and the flexibility to perform various office functions while upholding a professional appearance.
