About this role
At Columbus Ophthalmology Associates, the Surgical Coordinator role bridges patient care and clinical operations in an ophthalmology practice. You'll manage the financial and surgical preparation process for patients undergoing eye surgery, handling everything from scheduling procedures and coordinating pre-op appointments to reviewing insurance benefits, preparing cost summaries, and counseling patients on expenses. The work requires you to communicate across multiple facilities, follow up on payments, and ensure patients are fully prepared before their procedures.
This position suits someone detail-oriented who can juggle administrative tasks while maintaining a patient-centered approach. Experience in financial counseling or insurance is preferred but not required; what matters more is your ability to learn quickly, work independently, and adapt to changing priorities. You'll need reliable transportation to move between locations as needed and be willing to work beyond standard hours when the practice requires it. The role demands strong proficiency with Microsoft Office, excellent interpersonal skills across all levels of staff, and the physical capability to walk, sit, stand, and manage paperwork throughout the day.
Columbus Ophthalmology Associates offers a full benefits package including medical, vision, and dental coverage, a 401k with employer matching, paid time off, paid holidays, and paid maternity leave. The position is full-time, in-office, Monday through Friday within 7am–5pm hours, and requires only a high school diploma or GED and a clean background check.
