Job description

This is a remote position.

HelpSquad is seeking experienced Virtual Medical Front Desk Representatives to support healthcare clients across a variety of practice types. In this role, you will serve as a remote front-line point of contact for patients, caregivers, and providers — handling inbound and outbound calls, scheduling appointments, managing patient intake, and ensuring every interaction is handled with professionalism and genuine compassion.


This is a voice and digital role requiring comfort with EHR systems, softphone platforms, and the ability to represent a medical practice with the highest standards of care and confidentiality. You will be matched to a specific client account upon hire, and responsibilities may vary slightly by client.

Industry: Healthcare / Medical Services


Key Responsibilities

  • Handle inbound calls from patients, caregivers, and referring providers with empathy and professionalism.

  • Intake new patients, collect demographics, and verify insurance information accurately.

  • Schedule, confirm, reschedule, and cancel appointments in the EHR system.

  • Make outbound calls for appointment follow-ups, reminders, and clarification as needed.

  • Route calls to the appropriate department or clinical staff when outside your scope.

  • De-escalate upset or anxious callers calmly and effectively.

  • Document all patient interactions accurately and promptly within the EHR.

  • Maintain strict HIPAA compliance and patient confidentiality at all times.

  • Adapt quickly to changes in client workflows, scripts, or policies.

  • Collaborate with U.S.-based coordination and clinical teams as needed.



Requirements

Qualifications

  • Minimum 1 year of experience in a medical call handling role (clinic, hospital, or provider-side preferred).

  • Experience with at least one EHR platform (e.g., AthenaHealth, Epic, eClinicalWorks, Kareo, or similar).

  • Excellent English communication skills — clear, professional, and patient-facing.

  • Strong empathy and patience, especially when working with elderly or vulnerable patient populations.

  • Demonstrated ability to de-escalate difficult callers and navigate sensitive conversations.

  • Comfortable with softphone systems and digital communication tools.

  • Reliable, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment.

  • HIPAA Certification required — training and certification will be provided during onboarding if not already held.

  • Training on client-specific workflows will be provided by the outgoing team and team lead.


Technical & Workspace Requirements

The following are firm requirements and are not subject to exception:


  • Internet speed: Minimum 50 Mbps upload and download (wired connection strongly preferred).

  • A verified backup internet connection is required — mobile phone hotspots are not acceptable as backup.

  • Dedicated wireless dongles or secondary ISP connections are acceptable backup solutions.

  • Backup power source required (UPS or generator) to maintain connectivity during outages.

  • Quiet, professional workspace suitable for voice work — free from background noise and interruptions.

  • Noise-canceling headset required.

  • Reliable computer with sufficient processing power to run EHR systems and softphone simultaneously.

  • You must have Windows 11 or the most recent Apple OS / Update
