• Verify insurance benefits, communicate patient financial responsibilities, and collect copays, deductibles, and outstanding balances.
• Follow up on patient balances through phone, text, and email with professionalism and empathy.
• Partner with the Clinic Director and therapists to maintain full schedules, fill appointment openings, and support patients in completing their plans of care.
• Maintain accurate patient information in the electronic health record (EHR) and scheduling systems to support smooth daily clinic operations.

What we're looking for:

Required

• Strong interpersonal skills and emotional intelligence, with a genuine interest in helping people.
• Excellent organization, time management, and attention to detail.
• Comfort discussing financial responsibilities and collecting patient payments.

• Competitive hourly compensation of $18.00–$20.00, with applicable performance-based incentive opportunities.
• Generous paid time off, paid holidays, and wellness days.
• 401(k) with employer matching.
• Complimentary physical therapy sessions for full-time employees.
• Training and professional development opportunities to help you grow within Areté Health.
• Access to technology and tools that support efficient patient scheduling and front-office operations.
• A supportive, collaborative team where your contributions and the patient experience genuinely matter.
