Summary:
The Manager Patient Access - Physician Enterprise (PE) is responsible for overseeing the access services functions for the physician enterprise, including both Catholic Health (CH) and Trinity Clinics (collectively, "the Clinics"). The Patient Access Manager - PE is the owner of the Registration/Front Desk product of the clinics. This position will work with clinic managers, directors and other Physician Enterprise Leadership in order to ensure appropriate, timely and accurate registration of clinic patients. This position plays an important role in the overall success of our Physician Enterprise, as it facilitates the critical processes at the beginning of the revenue cycle, which begins when a patient is scheduled and ends when payment is received and the account is closed.
