Patient Registration Specialist at SLOCUM ORTHOPEDICS, P.C. in Eugene, Oregon

Job Description:

The Registration Team is responsible for welcoming patients at the Slocum Center. It is a fast paced, multi tasking team where there is never a dull moment. It is an excellent place to learn about the operations of healthcare offices in a short amount of time. These skills are very applicable for a future career in healthcare or also lend themselves well to many other industries if you decide to change industries in the future.
Our registration department is a bustling department and full of activity on a daily basis. The team works very closely together to assist and take care of our patients. A strong desire to be customer service focused and desire to learn are absolutely a must. Teamwork and good computer skills are also a plus. Additionally, there are certain positions that require team members to be on their feet for extended periods of time, where they may be walking in the registration area to accompany patients to a registration desk.
To be successful as a Patient Registration Specialist, you should enjoy working with people, as you will interact directly with patients, both in person and over the phone on a daily basis. You should enjoy and thrive in a fast paced environment with competing and constantly changing priorities. The hours of the Registration department are from 6 am - 6 pm and a weekly schedule is made allocating 8 hour shifts to each member of the team during that time frame. We are open Monday - Friday (you get your weekends off!).
Some basic tasks of a Patient Registration Specialist include greeting and assisting patients; collecting and updating information; using our electronic health record; interacting with other departments and collecting copayments. You will learn about health insurance, referrals and other operational activities in a healthcare office. It is a great place to start an incredibly rewarding career in the healthcare industry.
We are looking for people that are up for the challenge.
