Job description

American Family Care (AFC) was founded in 1982 with a single location and pioneered the concept of non-emergency room care, providing treatment for injuries and illnesses in a convenient, lower-cost setting. Headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, AFC has grown into the nation’s leading provider of accessible healthcare, with more than 400 company-owned and franchised centers across the United States, caring for over 3.5 million patients annually.

Position Summary

At American Family Care, our Medical Assistants are the heartbeat of the clinic — blending clinical skill, patient service, and front-desk/insurance verification expertise to keep our centers running smoothly. Whether you’re triaging a patient, drawing blood, or ensuring accurate insurance eligibility, you’ll play a key role in delivering care and ensuring our services are paid correctly. If you thrive in a fast-paced healthcare clinical setting, adapt quickly, and pride yourself on both accuracy and compassion, we want you here.

What You’ll Do

• Clinical Care: Greet and triage patients, collect vitals/histories, perform venipuncture and CLIA‑waived point-of-care testing (COVID, flu, strep, glucose, A1C, UA, etc.), assist with minor procedures, wound care, EKGs, and nebulizer therapy.
• Insurance Verification & Front Desk: Register patients, verify insurance eligibility, determine financial responsibility, collect co‑pays, reconcile payment logs, and maintain EMR accuracy.
• Patient Service: Educate patients on both clinical procedures and financial expectations, provide clear discharge instructions, and de‑escalate concerns with empathy and professionalism.
• Team & Compliance: Participate in daily huddles, maintain compliance logs (crash cart, fridge temps, etc.), support infection‑control and HIPAA standards.

What We’re Looking For

• Completion of an accredited Medical Assistant program.
• Active national MA certification (CMA, RMA, CCMA, or equivalent) at hire.
• At least 1+ year of experience with insurance verification and patient registration.
• Current Basic Life Support (BLS) certification (or ability to obtain before starting).
• Urgent care or emergency room experience highly valued.
• EMR proficiency (Experity preferred); comfort with payer portals (e.g., Waystar).
• Proven venipuncture and specimen collection skills.

Additional Requirements

• Must successfully pass a drug screen and criminal background check as a condition of employment.
• Full availability including ability to work evenings/weekends and float to nearby centers as needed.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• Competitive pay and benefits package.
• Opportunities for professional growth and cross‑training.
• Collaborative, supportive, patient‑first team culture.
• Make an impact by delivering The Right Care. Right Now.

Work Environment

Fast‑paced urgent care; prolonged standing/walking; routine exposure to blood and body fluids (strict PPE adherence); occasional lifting up to 25–30 lbs; weekend/evening shifts; float coverage as needed.
