This is a remote position.
Only LATAM-based candidates (bilingual in Spanish and English)
The On-Demand Floating Medical Office Customer Service Assistant provides temporary administrative and customer service coverage to U.S.-based medical practices during vacations, sick leave, resignations, increased workloads, or other staffing gaps.
This is an on-demand position, not a full-time or permanently assigned role. Working hours are not fixed or guaranteed and will depend on the availability, duration, and scheduling needs of each temporary assignment.
Unlike an assistant dedicated to one medical practice, the floating assistant may support different clients at different times. Each assignment may involve new providers, workflows, software systems, scheduling rules, and operational procedures.
The position follows a rapid deployment model. When coverage is needed, the selected assistant receives an accelerated onboarding for the specific medical practice and provides support for the duration of the assignment.
Responsibilities
Responsibilities will depend on the workflows and operational requirements of each assigned medical practice and may include:
- Following appointment scheduling rules and provider preferences.
- Supporting insurance workflows.
- Assisting with referral processes.
- Supporting prior authorization procedures.
- Following patient communication protocols and telephone scripts.
- Following established escalation procedures.
- Maintaining internal documentation standards.
- Navigating Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems.
- Reviewing and following client-specific documentation and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
- Following daily operational processes and checklists.
- Adapting to different medical practices, workflows, software systems, and operational protocols.
Requirements
- Must have your own device and headset
- High-speed internet connection of at least 100 MB.
- Previous experience working with U.S.-based medical offices and knowledge of HIPAA regulations.
- Ability to quickly adapt to different medical practices, providers, workflows, and operational protocols.
- Ability to continuously learn and transition between different client environments.
- Ability to learn and navigate different Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems and software platforms.
- Ability to understand and follow practice-specific scheduling rules, insurance workflows, referral processes, prior authorization procedures, and patient communication protocols.
- Ability to follow telephone scripts, escalation procedures, and internal documentation standards.
- Ability to review and follow Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), operational guides, and daily checklists.
- Ability to work effectively following an accelerated onboarding process for each new assignment.
- Previous experience with medical offices is preferred.
Systems
Medical practices may use different software platforms, including:
- Athenahealth
- eClinicalWorks
- Nextech
- HealthArc
- EMA
- Other proprietary systems
The position requires the ability to understand not only the software used by each practice, but also the operational processes and procedures established by that particular medical office.
Assignment and Onboarding Model
When coverage is required:
- A client reports an upcoming absence or unexpected staffing need.
- A floating assistant is assigned.
- The assistant receives an accelerated onboarding.
- The assistant reviews the client's documentation.
- The assistant begins providing temporary coverage until the assigned employee returns.
Because medical offices may operate differently, each assignment may require adaptation to new workflows, provider preferences, software systems, and operational procedures.
Comprehensive client documentation, structured onboarding, and ongoing support during the initial stages of each assignment are key components of the floating coverage model.
