Company Overview
Rolling Hills Eyecare is a dedicated optometric practice committed to providing exceptional eye care and vision services. We prioritize patient comfort and professional excellence in a welcoming environment.
About the Role: We are seeking an outgoing, professional, and multitask-oriented individual to join our eye care practice. This is a dynamic "hybrid" role designed for someone who enjoys variety and interacting with patients at every stage of their visit.
As a Patient Care Specialist, you are the face of the clinic. You will be fully cross-trained to "float" between the front office, the optical, and the clinical pre-testing room.
Key Responsibilities:
- Optical Styling & Dispensing: Guide patients through frame selection, lens options, and optical technology based on their prescription, lifestyle, and visual needs. Perform accurate measurements, final fittings, adjustments, and troubleshooting of eyewear. Experienced and/or licensed opticians are strongly encouraged to apply.
- Patient Coordination: Welcome and assist patients, gather demographic and insurance information, verify benefits, and manage appointments and patient communication by phone and online portals.
- Optical Sales & Patient Education: Provide knowledgeable, personalized recommendations on frames, lenses, coatings, and other optical products while creating an excellent patient experience.
- Financial & Insurance Support: Accept payments, assist with insurance billing and coding, and help patients understand their optical and insurance benefits.
- Clinical Support & Cross-Training: Depending on experience and interest, employees may cross-train in optometric technician responsibilities, including patient work-ups, pre-testing, diagnostic testing, and other clinical duties under the direction of our optometrists.
Requirements:
- Licensed or experienced opticians are especially encouraged to apply. Candidates who are newer to the optical field but have a strong interest in learning and growing are also welcome to apply.
- A professional resume and a thoughtful cover letter.
- A genuine, caring personality with the ability to maintain accuracy in a fast-paced environment.
- Ability to travel occasionally to our Colfax office.
- Previous medical or optical experience is a plus, but we are willing to train the right candidate who is eager to grow.
REQUIRED: To be considered, you must include a cover letter. Applications without a custom cover letter will be automatically declined.
