Patient Service Representative

Patient Service Representative

Thundermist's mission: To improve the health of our patients and communities by delivering exceptional health care, removing barriers to that care, and advancing healthy lifestyles.

About the Role

Are you someone who thrives at the front lines of patient care — greeting people, solving problems, and keeping everything running smoothly? As a Patient Service Representative at Thundermist Health Center, you'll be the first point of contact for the patients and families we serve. You'll schedule appointments, register patients, answer phones, collect payments, and make sure every visitor feels welcomed and supported from the moment they walk in. This role is the heartbeat of our medical practice — and a chance to make a real difference in health equity for the communities that count on us.

What You'll Do

Patient Registration & Scheduling

• Register patients by accurately entering demographics, insurance information, and all required data into the system.
• Schedule, confirm, cancel, and reschedule patient appointments based on provider availability and clinical appropriateness.
• Verify insurance coverage and update records when changes occur.
• Collect co-payments and outstanding balances at the time of each visit.
• Identify scheduling issues or emergent patient needs and direct them to the nursing team for triage.

Communication & Administrative Support

• Answer all incoming calls promptly and route them appropriately.
• Take complete, accurate messages and document them according to Thundermist procedures.
• Perform outreach to patients for appointment reminders and follow-up communication.
• Complete end-of-day closing reports and reconcile daily transactions.
• Identify and report operational issues to appropriate staff for timely resolution.

What We're Looking For

You're organized, people-focused, and cool under pressure. You bring strong communication skills, sharp attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to making every patient feel seen and valued.

• High school diploma or GED required.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills.
• Accurate data entry skills with the ability to manage high volumes in a fast-paced environment.
• Experience with payment or billing collections and ambulatory care medical office settings is preferred — but if you don't check every box, we still encourage you to apply.
• Knowledge of medical terminology is a plus.
• A commitment to patient-centered care, health equity, and serving diverse, underserved communities.
