Full Job Description

Overview

How can we make your day? At Retina Los Angeles, our goal is to provide world-class eye care and exceptional customer service to our patients. We believe that teamwork is very important and that when we work together, we can achieve amazing things.

We are looking for team players with a strong work ethic and positive attitude – these attributes are more important to us than experience. We encourage and support an environment of teaching and growth for our staff.

We invest in creating a positive work environment, where you might follow your career goals and grow, so that together we can take exceptional care of our patients.

Responsibilities

Located in sunny Los Angeles, our physicians are leaders in patient care, education, and research. We provide the highest quality eye care to a diverse group of patients, from premature infants to children to adults of all ages. Our physicians are Ophthalmologists (eye doctors) with subspecialty training in Retina.

The Retina is the back part of the eye. Like the film of a camera, it is the final place where light (or an image) is processed before traveling to the vision center of the brain.

We take care of patients with a wide array of vitreoretinal conditions, and we enjoy teaching our patients and our staff about the cause and treatment of these conditions, using the latest research and highest quality, cutting-edge diagnostic imaging equipment.

You will contribute as an essential member of our team-first approach to collaborative medicine. You will benefit by learning in an environment where empathy and education are fostered and supported. We all work together to prevent health care errors and strongly emphasize patient safety and high-quality care. Team members are encouraged to communicate and to work together to support quality improvement.

• Coordinates clinic schedules.
• Checks in and checks out patients.
• Collects copays and previous balances from patients in a non-judgmental manner.

• Obtains and verifies prior authorizations from insurances, including for the drugs used during intravitreal (intraocular) injections.
• Warmly and efficiently answers busy phone call volume.
• Follows our practice-recommended communication guidelines.
• Remains calm and friendly if waiting room or phones become busy.
• Facilitates efficient clinic flow.
• Schedules patient appointments and follow up.
