Excellent phone manner, with strong customer service skills and the ability to de-escalate anxious or upset patients whilst maintaining a calm, compassionate tone. 3. Proactive and self-directed, not someone who relies solely on instructions 4. Able to develop processes as you learn 5. Highly organized. 6. Customer service experience is a must. 7. Clear spoken and written English required; Bilingual (Spanish/English) is not essential but will be highly valued. 8.

Professional work set up in a quiet, private workspace, with reliable high-speed internet and a well functioning personal computer. A strong candidate should be able to understand what the doctor is looking for and adapt their approach to meet those needs. Any lack of experience should be balanced by the ability to recognize what is required and quickly learn how to address it. In this role, you’ll keep practices running smoothly by handling patient communications, scheduling, insurance verifications/pre-authorizations, or billing support in a fully remote setup. You’ll work with EHR systems, document patient interactions clearly, and keep worklists moving to meet productivity and quality targets. 🔑 Responsibilities can include: Handle inbound/outbound patient calls and SMS/chat professionally; de-escalate concerns and maintain a compassionate, service-oriented tone.

Complete patient intake: collect demographics/insurance/consents, upload documents, and ensure accurate records. Create clear, concise encounter notes for every interaction; route follow-ups/tasks to the right teammates. Work in EHR/RIS, VoIP, and related systems with steady in-system activity; meet productivity/quality KPIs. Monitor queues/worklists and prioritize time-sensitive items to keep cases moving. Collaborate closely with verification, pre-auth, billing/AR, and clinical staff to ensure smooth handoffs. Surface inefficiencies and suggest improvements; contribute to SOP/process updates.
