• Check patients in and out, verify demographics and insurance information, and collect copays and balances.
• Prepare and manage new patient paperwork, consent forms, and intake documentation.
• Maintain an organized reception area and ensure a clean, professional front office appearance.
• Accurately enter and update information in the EMR (Athena experience is a strong plus).
• Assist with prior authorizations, referrals, and record requests, in coordination with the clinical team.
• Help manage daily patient flow, communicate delays, and keep patients informed.
• Support the team with additional administrative tasks as needed, while maintaining confidentiality and professionalism.

Qualifications

• Prior front desk, medical receptionist, or customer service experience required.
• Experience in a medical office setting strongly preferred.
• Spanish speaking/bilingual (English–Spanish) is a strong plus.
• Experience with Athena EMR is a plus.
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and reliable, with strong follow-through.
• Professional appearance, strong verbal and written communication skills, and a calm, confident phone presence.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and handling multiple tasks at once.
• Proficient with computers, email, and basic office software.
• Positive attitude, strong work ethic, and a team-first mindset.
• Able to maintain patient confidentiality and handle sensitive information appropriately.

Ideal Candidate

• Takes pride in being organized and “on top of” details and schedules.
• Enjoys interacting with patients and helping them feel at ease.
• Is proactive, anticipates needs, and likes solving small problems before they become big ones.
• Thrives in a professional, patient-centered environment where consistency and follow-through matter.
