Description

Step confidently into a high-impact role at the heart of patient care. This hands-on masterclass gives medical receptionist and secretary candidates the exact front office skills and back office skills clinics expect—built for healthcare admin assistants and real-world support staff who want results from day one.

This course is designed to help learners of all backgrounds perform the full spectrum of medical front desk and administrative duties in real-world healthcare settings. Whether you’re greeting patients, scheduling appointments, verifying insurance, coordinating referrals & prior authorizations, or managing records in an EHR, you’ll learn practical, job-ready workflows—without academic fluff.

You’ll practice the complete patient journey from first call to check-out: professional phone scripts, intake, eligibility checks, cost estimates, payment collection, documentation standards, and compliant record handling (HIPAA). We also cover cross-team collaboration with nursing/clinical staff, escalation handling, and productivity tips to keep a busy schedule on track.

Designed to be beginner-friendly, this course offers clear explanations, downloadable templates (call scripts, intake/check-out checklists, PA request sheets), and realistic examples from scheduling screens and front desk documentation. No prior medical office experience is required.

What You’ll Learn

  • Confident patient communication: greeting, call handling, triage, follow-ups, and empathy-driven service

  • Appointment & resource management: time-blocks, no-show prevention, double-booking rules, and optimization

  • Financial & insurance processing: eligibility/benefits verification, copays, authorizations, and basic claims flow

  • Documentation & records management: EHR basics, HIPAA, forms, ROI, and error-free chart entries

  • Referrals & Prior Authorizations: step-by-step intake, medical necessity notes, payer portals, and tracking

  • Patient scheduling process: from first call to post-visit—scripts, confirmations, reminders, recalls

  • Collaboration with clinical & back office teams: task routing, status updates, SBAR-style handoffs

  • Career development: resumes, interviews, certifications, and growth paths (patient access → practice admin)

Course Features

  • 9 sections aligned to real workflows:

  • Scenario-based exercises and role-plays for real-clinic pacing and problem-solving

  • ESL-friendly explanations and jargon glossaries for everyday use
