Medical Assistant
Medical assistants assist physicians by performing administrative duties and handling basic clinical tasks. They work in doctors' offices, hospitals, and medical clinics, helping to keep operations running smoothly and efficiently. The job description of a medical assistant varies from office to office. Some assistants do patient and laboratory work exclusively. Others are responsible for medical records, bookkeeping, and answering phones. In most small offices, medical assistants may handle all these tasks.
Most medical assistants work in private offices. Clinical duties vary according to state law. Some medical assistants may help doctors examine and treat patients. They may check the height, weight, temperature, and blood pressure of each patient. Assistants write down patients' medical histories and run simple laboratory tests. Sometimes they answer patients' questions about medicines and treatment at home. Assistants may also give injections, apply bandages, and take X-rays. Many assistants take electrocardiograms, which measure the electrical impulses of the heart.
The Medical Receptionist's job may include scheduling patient appointments, explaining clinic policy to patients, receiving and delivering messages, processing incoming and outgoing mail, receiving calls from hospital labs and x-ray, taking prescription refill messages, scheduling patient hospital admissions, filing medical reports and insurance forms, pulling patient charts, completing insurance and other forms, coding of diagnoses and procedures, opening the office in the morning, and maintaining the receptionist area.
