medical receptionist?
Asked by ♥ purrlvr ♥
I have approximately 3 years experience as a receptionist from working at car dealerships but i want to move up into something like a medical receptionist. I appled for one job, went in for the interview and didn't get the job because i have no experience in medical billing or insurance or co-pays and stuff like that. Just curious if every medical place is like that. Is the receptionist always responsible for the money and billing? At the car dealership i never received any money i just answered the phone and filed paperwork. Being that i don't have this experience should i stay away from the medical field?

Best Answer:
I am a Unit secretary and I dont have to deal with insurance. However, I do not make much money either. Sometimes you can get lucky and someone will give you a chance in a mediacal office with no experience, but the money is terrible, even with a diploma.

hey; first of all it all depends what would you responsibilities will be, i have work in different office and I'll have to do from insurance verification to making appointment for patients like i say it just depends on what your duties will be. There are places that they'll train you but you'll definitely have a better change if you know a little bit about insurances and medical terminology. you could take some classes online or just go to a local college or vocational schools, usually they are short classes. well hope this information can help you in your future career path..
