What are the responsibilities and job description for the Medical Front Desk Representative position at Dayton Skin Care?
Dayton Skin Care is seeking a dependable, professional Medical Front Desk Representative to join our busy dermatology practice.
At Dayton Skin Care, our front desk team members are called Patient Representatives because the position involves much more than greeting patients and answering phones. Our Patient Representatives play an important role in coordinating patient care and serve as a primary connection between our patients, providers, clinical staff, and billing team.
This is a full-time, in-person healthcare position requiring excellent attendance, attention to detail, professionalism, and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced medical office.

- Verify insurance information and assist with eligibility-related tasks
- Collect copays, deductibles, outstanding balances, and other patient responsibility at the time of service
- Communicate appointment instructions and other information clearly to patients
- Monitor and respond to patient messages and administrative tasks
- Coordinate with providers, medical assistants, billing staff, and other departments throughout the practice
- Maintain patient confidentiality and comply with HIPAA requirements
- Complete other front-office and administrative responsibilities as needed

- Be dependable and maintain consistent attendance and punctuality
