Medical Assistant - Rheumatology

Job Description

Job Description

Medical Assistant – Rheumatology (4-Day Workweek | Specialty Practice)

We are a well-established, physician-led rheumatology practice seeking a high-performing Medical Assistant who takes pride in precision, efficiency, and patient-centered care.

This role is ideal for an experienced MA who wants more than a routine clinic job —you’ll work closely with the physician, manage complex chronic-care patients, and play a key role in medication coordination and care continuity.

If you are detail-oriented, proactive, and comfortable operating with a high level of responsibility, this is a standout opportunity in a stable, specialty practice setting.

Schedule

• Full-time (40 hours/week)
• 4-day workweek (Monday–Thursday)
• Fridays off | No weekends | No evenings

Why This Role Stands Out

• Specialty experience (Rheumatology) – highly valuable for long-term career growth
• Autonomy & physician collaboration – not a “task-only” MA role
• Consistent 4-day schedule with built-in 3-day weekends
• Established workflows & patient base
• Meaningful patient relationships in chronic disease management

Key Responsibilities

• Perform patient intake, vitals, and detailed history collection
• Obtain Medication prior authorization and outside imaging authorizations
• Assisting patients with patient assistance forms
• Document accurately and efficiently in EHR systems
• Manage medication prior authorizations (a critical component of this role)
• Coordinate patient care, follow-ups, and provider communication
• Maintain organized, compliant medical records
• Ensure smooth patient flow and clinic efficiency

What We’re Looking For

• Minimum 1+ year of Medical Assistant experience (required)
• Strong EHR proficiency and documentation accuracy
• Experience with prior authorizations and specialty medications preferred
• Excellent clinical judgment, organization, and time management
• Ability to anticipate provider needs and work independently
• Professional, calm, and patient-focused communication style

Benefits

• 401(k) with employer matching
• Paid Time Off: 11 PTO days + 6 paid holidays
• Stable, predictable full-time schedule

Note: Health insurance is not offered.

How This Role Is Different

This is not a high-turnover, entry-level MA position. We are looking for someone who:

• Takes ownership of their role
• Understands the importance of accuracy in specialty care
• Wants to grow within a practice—not just rotate through one

We are a well-established, physician-led rheumatology practice with two providers, offering a highly collaborative environment where team members take ownership, work closely with the physician, and play a meaningful role in managing complex autoimmune conditions and delivering consistent, relationship-driven patient care.
