  • Collect and verify patient demographics, insurance cards, and co-payments.
  • Provide Connected Minds tablets during visits in accordance with protocol.
  • Maintain a clean and welcoming patient waiting area.
  • Replenish refreshments and ensure a positive front-desk environment.

Call Center & Patient Communication :

  • Answer incoming calls in a courteous and professional manner.
  • Schedule and confirm appointments; manage provider calendars.
  • Respond to patient inquiries regarding medical records, services, insurance, and office policies.
  • Route messages appropriately through the EHR to medical assistants or providers.
  • Follow up with patients regarding appointments, care instructions, or documentation.
  • Referral Coordination :

  • Manage incoming referrals and track the status to ensure timely patient access.
  • Coordinate with specialists for appointment availability and care continuity.
  • Verify insurance eligibility and obtain required authorizations.
  • Document referral details accurately in the electronic health record.
  • Collaborate with clinical staff to resolve issues or delays related to referrals.
  • Administrative & Operational Support :

  • Monitor and respond to patient portal messages, voicemails, and texts.
  • Assist with billing inquiries and route communication appropriately.
  • Track daily no-shows and cancellations.
  • Support internal communication threads (e.g., billing, clinical, leadership).
  • Travel between FMA locations as needed for coverage.
  • Qualifications :

  • High school diploma or equivalent; associate degree or medical admin training is a plus.
  • Prior experience in a medical office, call center, or healthcare setting preferred.
  • Knowledge of medical terminology and insurance processes is advantageous.
  • Exceptional communication skills — both written and verbal.
  • Proficient in using EHR systems (e.g., eClinicalWorks) and Microsoft Office Suite.
  • Ability to multitask effectively and maintain attention to detail under pressure.
  • Strong organizational skills and a patient-first mindset.
  • Why Join Family Medicine Austin?

    At Family Medicine Austin, we believe that quality care starts with a dedicated and compassionate team.
