What are the responsibilities and job description for the Patient Care Coordinator — Front Desk (Full-Time, In Person, Bilingual Spanish Preferred) position at Doctor Sara Clinic?
About the Role
Doctor Sara Clinic is a busy practice, and our front desk is where trust is built or lost. Before a patient ever sees the doctor, they see you — and how you handle their check-in, their schedule, and yes, their bill, shapes whether they trust us enough to keep coming back and get better.
This is not a slow-paced office. Phones, check-ins, scheduling, and payments happen at the same time, and the details have to be right. But it's also not a job where you can hide behind a screen — you'll be having real, sometimes uncomfortable conversations with patients about insurance and money, and doing it in a way that leaves them feeling respected, not judged.
If you're fast, accurate, genuinely warm with people, and not afraid of a hard conversation, keep reading.
What You'll Do Daily
- Open and close the office
- Check patients in and out efficiently
- Schedule appointments and manage the day's flow using SKED and ChiroTouch
- Set up new patients — accurate data entry and insurance verification
- Process payments and have direct conversations with patients about co-pays and balances
- Handle health insurance verification, billing questions, and personal injury (PI) case documentation and follow-up
- Answer phones, texts, and emails promptly
- Assist with patient therapies
- Field patient questions and concerns with professionalism and warmth, even when the conversation is hard
You're the Right Fit If…
- You genuinely care about people — patients are the reason we exist, and our standards are high
- You don't avoid a hard conversation about money or insurance — you just handle it with care
- You don't get flustered when the phone's ringing, someone's checking in, and a text comes in at the same time — you know how to prioritize without dropping the ball
- You catch your own mistakes before anyone else does — accuracy is a standard you hold yourself to, not something you're working on
- You learn new software quickly and don't need to be shown the same thing twice
- You show up, reliably, on time, every day — consistency here is non-negotiable
- You keep your workspace neat without being asked
- You're generally positive and pull your weight on a team that does the same
Qualifications
- Full-time availability, Monday–Friday, in person (no remote option) — required
