Clerk Jobs in Illinois
A Clerk in the medical administration industry is responsible for managing patient records, scheduling appointments, answering phone calls, and assisting with billing. They are the primary point of contact between the medical staff and patients. Clerks ensure all forms, records, and billing information is accurate and up-to-date. They often manage insurance forms and medical coding for billing purposes. Additionally, they may communicate with insurance companies regarding billing and payment procedures.
Prior to becoming a Clerk, a person may have roles as a Receptionist, Medical Assistant, or Administrative Assistant. These jobs provide the necessary experience in managing administrative tasks and familiarize individuals with the medical industry. Important skills for a Medical Administration Clerk include strong communication and organization skills, an understanding of medical terminology, and proficiency with computer systems. While not always required, a certification in medical administration, such as the Certified Medical Administrative Assistant (CMAA) or Certified Medical Office Manager (CMOM), can enhance job prospects and provide formal training in medical office procedures and management.
