We can’t do it without YOU!

Do you want to apply your experience, skills, and education in a way that makes a meaningful and lasting difference in the lives of our patients and their families? At Tennessee Cancer Specialists, it is the privilege of our employees to walk with our patients and their families as they move along the journey of fighting cancer. Whether you are working directly with patients in one of our clinics or in a support role, you are an important part of our mission to deliver the highest quality, compassionate care. Our 200+ employees make up the teams at our 15 different East Tennessee locations and have helped us achieve the Top Workplaces award two years running for the greater Knoxville area!

Overview

As a Patient Services Coordinator, you will assist our patients through the check-in and/or check-out process so they can have a positive and consistent experience from the moment they walk in the door.

Responsibilities

Here's what might happen on a typical day…

In this position, you will be the first friendly face that will help our patients through their experience at our clinic. Your upbeat and helpful attitude will consistently provide our patients with a positive first impression.

While certain parts of your day will be very routine, the challenge of this position presents itself in the number of patients that come through our clinic in a day. Preparation and superior organization skills will allow you to navigate through our hectic schedule effectively.

Experiences That Matter…

• Your professionalism allows you to greet and build rapport with our patients while also completing the check-in process in a timely manner. This in turn allows you to provide quick notification to our clinical staff when a patient has arrived.
• In conversations with our patients, both on the phone and in person, you will provide red carpet customer service through your willingness to ask appropriate questions to assess the patient’s needs and provide all necessary information.
• You will use your knowledge of our processes to effectively collect copays and patient balances as necessary and provide receipt of payment back to patients.
• During the check-out process, you will coordinate with patients and clinical staff to provide appointment scheduling that is both convenient for patients and in accordance with physician and/or office guidelines.
• Your knowledge of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems and other medical office technology will provide the background needed to navigate, effectively chart patient information, and communicate with other staff members within the EMR.
• Keeping the lobby and desk area tidy is a must for someone who possesses your level of organization skills.
• Your work ethic will have you ready to jump in and help out with any additional tasks.

Qualifications

For your safety, keep this in mind:

• The position will require sitting for long periods of time with occasional stooping, bending, and stretching for supplies.
• Any lifting should be limited to 40 pounds or less.
• You will need sufficient manual dexterity for operating office equipment (keyboard, telephone, copier, etc.), and vision and hearing must be adequate for viewing computer screens for prolonged periods of time and hearing customers during in-person and telephone conversations.

We feel this position requires these basics:

• A high school diploma or equivalent is required, but an associate’s degree in a business-related field would be even better!
• Your proficiency with computer systems and Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word, Excel, etc.) is a must.
• At least one year of prior experience in a similar medical clinic position is preferred to provide the necessary background for this role.
