MEDICAL ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT

Whether greeting patients, updating medical files, or coordinating appointments, Medical Administrative Assistants keep healthcare offices running smoothly. 

Duties include scheduling appointments for patients, both in person and over the phone, and may also confirm appointments and manage patient flow. They answer incoming calls, route calls to the appropriate staff, and take messages. 

MAAs also process insurance information, submit claims, and manage billing and invoicing.
