Velazquez Pain Relief Center is hiring a Medical Assistant for our pain management clinics and our ASC. Assignments are based on each MA's skills, certifications, and interests — so if procedural and preoperative care excite you, you'll spend more of your week in the surgery center; if patient relationships, intake work, and prior authorizations are your strength, you'll spend more of your time in the clinic.
This role is open as full-time or part-time. We will work with the right candidate on a schedule that fits.
Welcome patients warmly, perform intake and initial assessment, document vitals, current medications, allergies, history, and pain scores
Pull radiology images and reports, lab results, prior records, and any outside documentation the provider needs before the visit
Collect urine drug screens per practice policy and chain-of-custody requirements
Provide accurate, concise patient summaries to the provider before they enter the room
Help patients complete intake paperwork and consent forms; explain forms clearly and patiently
Coordinate with pharmacies on refills, clarifications, and prior-authorization-related callbacks
Initiate, follow up on, and close out medication prior authorizations
Submit and track outgoing referrals to specialists, imaging, and physical therapy
Work closely with our Personal Injury and Workers' Compensation departments to keep documentation, authorizations, and updates moving
Maintain a clean, sanitary, organized clinical environment — patient safety first, every time
CCMA, RMA, or CMA certification
One or more years of medical assistant experience, ideally in pain management, orthopedics, PM&R, neurosurgery, or a surgical specialty
Prior experience with medication prior authorizations and outgoing referrals
Familiarity with Workers' Compensation and Personal Injury patient workflows (Nevada DIR, lien-based care, etc.)
Pre-op, PACU, or ASC experience
EMR proficiency
Bilingual English/Spanish a strong plus
