Be the Voice Patients Trust First
At Healthy Connections, we believe that exceptional care starts with a single conversation. As a Scheduling Specialist, you’ll be that first voice—a trusted guide who helps patients take the important step of getting care. We’re looking for someone who communicates clearly, listens carefully, and is ready to thrive in a fast-paced, team-centered environment.
This full-time role is based in Mena and features a four-day workweek (40 hours total)—giving you the stability of full-time employment with built-in work-life balance. You’ll work closely with patients and team members across our clinics to ensure scheduling runs smoothly and professionally.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Professionally handle inbound calls from new and returning patients
- Schedule appointments using our electronic medical records system (eMDs)
- Work with digital tools like Phreesia and Updox to support patient engagement
- Accurately gather insurance and demographic information
- Direct clinical and billing inquiries to the appropriate internal teams
- Coordinate appointment changes, cancellations, and follow-ups
- Review provider and service updates regularly to stay informed
- Partner with leadership to meet scheduling benchmarks and patient experience goals
What to Expect
This is a phone-based, administrative position that supports patients from all Healthy Connections clinics. You’ll work in a structured, focused environment where clear communication and attention to detail are essential. The pace is quick—but you’re never on your own. You’ll be part of a close-knit team that collaborates daily to meet goals and provide high-quality care.
Training and Support from Day One
No guesswork here. You’ll receive full training on our scheduling systems, protocols, and tools (eMDs, Phreesia, Updox). Our onboarding process is designed to make sure you’re confident in your role—and our team and manager will support you every step of the way.
Who We’re Looking For
- High school diploma required
- At least 2 years of experience in a medical office or call center preferred
- Strong communication and organization skills
- Comfortable using Microsoft Office and learning new digital tools
- Bilingual in Spanish is a plus, but not required
- Ability to prioritize, stay focused, and manage a high volume of calls with professionalism
- Willingness to travel to other clinic locations for training or team meetings as needed
