What are the responsibilities and job description for the Patient Care Coordinator position at Healthy Connections, Inc.?
Be the first smile our patients see.
Do you thrive in a fast-paced, people-centered environment where every interaction matters? Are you naturally welcoming, organized, and motivated to make a difference in someone's day? Healthy Connections is seeking a Patient Care Coordinator who will serve as the face of our Hot Springs clinic and a vital part of our patients' experience from the moment they walk through the door.
As a Patient Care Coordinator, you'll do more than manage appointments-you'll play a key role in creating a positive, supportive atmosphere for our patients and their families. You'll handle a wide range of administrative tasks, including greeting patients, answering phones, scheduling appointments, updating electronic health records, verifying insurance, and collecting payments. You'll work closely with a team of providers, nurses, and other coordinators to ensure each patient has a smooth and welcoming experience. Most days are fast paced with a steady flow of patients, making teamwork and communication essential.
Comprehensive training will be provided to help you succeed in this role. Whether you're new to healthcare or bringing experience from another customer-facing role, you'll be supported every step of the way as you learn our systems and procedures. If you've worked in customer service, retail, or other fast-paced environments where communication, multitasking, and professionalism are key, you already have a strong foundation to thrive here.
