We are an established private medical practice based in New York City, specializing in general and bariatric surgery, obesity, and weight management, and in the process of phasing into a new location and growing administration/support staff.
We are seeking a rare individual to be a Medical Office Administrator with a focus on surgical care. Working with a "NYC Top Doctor" and leading bariatric surgeon and specialist in obesity and medical weight management, you will play a crucial role in helping patients navigate the bariatric surgery process. The successful candidate will have experience in patient engagement and relations, scheduling, and patient record management. Experience in insurance verification and procedure pre-authorization is mandatory. Spanish proficiency preferred.
The ideal candidate will have a detailed knowledge/understanding of health insurance processes, procedures, and forms, including EOB’s, and experience with medical scheduling and billing and coding, especially in a surgical environment. Billing duties include: processing billing for medical services provided by the practice; verifying insurance information and claims; ensuring accuracy in coding and billing procedures; working with medical staff to resolve any billing discrepancies; maintaining patient records and confidentiality; communicating timely and professionally with insurance companies and patients; working efficiently and proactively within a fast-paced environment.
The Administrator/Assistant would also provide general administrative support on an as-needed basis in this all-hands-on-deck transition phase.
This is a hybrid position, with some in-person/office and some remote work, with an estimated 15 hours of front desk patient interaction and 15 hours dedicated to surgical scheduling and insurance issues. This is a contract, freelance position, with the possibility of transitioning to full-time work.
If you are a dedicated and experienced professional with a demonstrated passion and performance for detailed and accurate work in the mission-critical duties of surgical scheduling and billing, and you believe that you can meet the challenges and pressures of working with a leading NYC surgeon and leading specialist in her field, we encourage you to apply.
