- Clearly and professionally communicate payment expectations and assist with occasional special payment arrangements based on the physician's instructions.
- Maintain accurate records of payment-related communication, outstanding follow-ups, and administrative action items.
- Support additional administrative workflows and established practice SOPs as responsibilities evolve.
- Lab Results & Document Management
- Access designated external laboratory portals to retrieve available patient laboratory results.
- Download and accurately upload laboratory reports and other required documents into the appropriate patient record in the EMR.
- Ensure patient documents are properly organized, filed, and available to the physician before scheduled appointments when needed.
