You'll manage the patient experience from arrival through checkout, handling phone calls, verifying insurance, processing payments, and keeping the office running smoothly.

You'll need a high school diploma or GED, proficiency with Microsoft Office applications, and comfort with frequent movement between sitting, standing, and walking.
