• Diagnostic imaging, radiology, or specialty medical-office experience strongly preferred.
• Strong computer, telephone, data-entry, and multitasking skills.
• Excellent attention to detail and ability to follow modality-specific scheduling requirements.
• Professional demeanor and strong customer-service skills.
• Ability to remain composed when managing anxious patients, scheduling conflicts, high call volume, or competing priorities.
• Familiarity with medical terminology, insurance verification, prior authorizations, HIPAA, and electronic medical records is preferred.
