Medical Office Administrative Specialist with Essentials of Billing & Coding
Medical Office Administrative Specialists keep the front office of medical facilities running smoothly. Administrative Medical Assistants’ roles in those offices will vary depending on the size and function of that office. Administrative Medical Office Specialists help create effective patient flow allowing the practice to operate efficiently, increase revenue, and provide a positive experience for the patient. The duties of a Medical Office Administrative Specialist may include scheduling appointments, entering demographic and insurance information into practice software, managing patient check-in and check-out, answering phone calls, filing and retrieving paper records, maintaining electronic records, composing correspondence, performing daily financial practices, assigning medical codes and processing insurance claims. In smaller practices, Medical Administrative Assistants are typically generalists that perform all of administrative needs of the office manager, physician, and/or health practitioner. Medical Administrative Assistants in larger practices tend to specialize in one particular area on a day-to-day basis, such as patient intake or insurance billing.
Medical Office Administrative Specialists with a diploma or degree can pursue entry-level positions as a medical secretary, receptionist, customer service representative, front office staff, office assistant and more. Working environments include physician’s offices, hospitals, outpatient clinics, nursing homes and long-term care facilities. Employment in this field is projected to grow 22 percent from 2016 to 2026.
