Role Overview

We are looking for a highly organized, professional Scheduling Coordinator to serve as the primary voice of a busy faculty dental practice. Operating as a critical liaison between patients, faculty providers, and the wider university health network, this role supports patient access and clinic efficiency by managing appointments, provider calendars, and daily front-office workflows.

The ideal candidate possesses warm, clear communication, a strong foundation in dental scheduling (specifically balancing patient urgency with faculty teaching/research commitments), and the ability to thrive in a high-volume, desk-based environment with continuous headset and computer use.

Key Responsibilities

• High-Volume Call Management: Answer multi-line calls with professionalism and empathy, fielding questions on services, hours, fees, policies, and parking.
• Clinical Triage: Identify urgent dental needs (e.g., pain, infection, broken restorations) and triage emergency calls to the clinical team or on-call dentist per protocol.
• Message Routing: Escalate complex patient concerns or workflow disruptions to the Front Office Supervisor and clearly document all interactions in the practice management system.
• Chart Management: Create and update electronic dental charts, ensuring accurate procedure sequencing and attaching necessary documents (x-rays, referrals, outside records) in strict compliance with HIPAA standards.
• Pre-Appointment Readiness: Confirm all required documents and forms are completed prior to the visit and that patients receive clear preparation instructions.
• Benefits Verification: Collect preliminary dental and medical insurance details by phone, understanding PPO and DHMO plan types, dual coverage rules, frequency limitations, and waiting periods.

Requirements

• Experience & Voice: Must have proven experience in a high-volume dental or medical front-office setting. Must be able to work directly from Edge Campus.
• Technical Proficiency: Strong familiarity with dental practice management systems (e.g., Dentrix Enterprise, CloudStack, Open Dental) and communication platforms (Slack, Teams).
• Core Knowledge: Thorough understanding of common dental terminology, CDT codes, procedure durations, and dental insurance basics (EOBs, copays, maximums).
• Soft Skills: Exceptional active listening, empathy, and emotional intelligence to navigate sensitive interactions. Must demonstrate composure under sustained call volume, strong attention to detail, and sound judgment in clinical triage.
• Compliance: Strict adherence to HIPAA guidelines, organizational privacy policies, and discretion with confidential data.
