What does a medical assistant in rheumatology do?

A Medical Assistant in Rheumatology supports rheumatologists by performing both administrative and clinical tasks. They assist with patient intake, take medical histories, record vital signs, and help prepare patients for exams and procedures related to arthritis and autoimmune diseases.

Their role is essential in ensuring the smooth operation of a rheumatology practice and enhancing patient care.

Familiarity with electronic health records (EHR), phlebotomy, and rheumatology-specific documentation systems is typically required. Strong interpersonal skills, attention to detail, and the ability to provide compassionate support to patients with chronic conditions help you stand out. These skills are vital for ensuring accurate care coordination, patient comfort, and efficient clinic operations in a specialized medical setting.

Job description

Medical Assistant – Rheumatology (4-Day Workweek | Specialty Practice)

We are a well-established, physician-led rheumatology practice seeking a high-performing Medical Assistant who takes pride in precision, efficiency, and patient-centered care.

This role is ideal for an experienced MA who wants more than a routine clinic job—you’ll work closely with the physician, manage complex chronic-care patients, and play a key role in medication coordination and care continuity.

If you are detail-oriented, proactive, and comfortable operating with a high level of responsibility, this is a standout opportunity in a stable, specialty practice setting.

Schedule

  • Full-time (40 hours/week)
  • 4-day workweek (Monday–Thursday)
  • Fridays off | No weekends | No evenings

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Specialty experience (Rheumatology) – highly valuable for long-term career growth
  • Autonomy & physician collaboration – not a “task-only” MA role
  • Consistent 4-day schedule with built-in 3-day weekends
  • Established workflows & patient base
  • Meaningful patient relationships in chronic disease management

Key Responsibilities

  • Perform patient intake, vitals, and detailed history collection
  • Obtain Medication prior authorization and outside imaging authorizations
  • Assisting patients with patient assistance forms
  • Document accurately and efficiently in EHR systems
  • Manage medication prior authorizations (a critical component of this role)
  • Coordinate patient care, follow-ups, and provider communication
  • Maintain organized, compliant medical records
  • Ensure smooth patient flow and clinic efficiency

What We’re Looking For

  • Minimum 1+ year of Medical Assistant experience (required)
  • Strong EHR proficiency and documentation accuracy (eClinicalWorks experience preferred)
  • Experience with prior authorizations and specialty medications preferred
  • Excellent clinical judgment, organization, and time management
  • Ability to anticipate provider needs and work independently
  • Professional, calm, and patient-focused communication style

Benefits

  • Simple IRA with employer matching upto 3%
  • Paid Time Off: 11 PTO days + 6 paid holidays (after 90 days of employment)
  • Stable, predictable full-time schedule

Note: Health insurance is not offered.


Work Location

In-person


How This Role Is Different

This is not a high-turnover, entry-level MA position. We are looking for someone who:

  • Takes ownership of their role
  • Understands the importance of accuracy in specialty care
  • Wants to grow within a practice—not just rotate through one
  • Dependable and reliable daily

Company Description

We are a well-established, physician-led rheumatology practice with two providers, offering a highly collaborative environment where team members take ownership, work closely with the physician, and play a meaningful role in managing complex autoimmune conditions and delivering consistent, relationship-driven patient care.
