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.

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.
Current Basic Life Support (BLS) certification (or ability to obtain before starting).
Urgent care or emergency room experience highly valued.
EMR proficiency (Experity preferred); comfort with payer portals (e.g., Waystar).
Proven venipuncture and specimen collection skills.

Additional requirements

Opportunities for professional growth and cross-training.
Collaborative, supportive, patient-first team culture.
Make an impact by delivering The Right Care. Right Now.
