Job description

Make an impact—front desk to triage

At American Family Care, our PRN Medical Assistants keep our urgent care centers running smoothly by blending clinical skill with patient registration and insurance verification expertise. In this flexible role, you’ll pick up at least 4 shifts per month (with the option for more), supporting centers when patient volumes rise or coverage is needed. This is a perfect fit if you’re looking for supplemental income, flexible scheduling, or part‑time hours while still making a direct impact in urgent care.

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 required.
• Active BLS certification required or must be obtained within defined onboarding period.
• 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.
