  • Assist in providing patient education on chronic disease management and coach patients using an action-planning model based on motivational interviewing techniques
  • Provide anticipatory preventive guidance to families with children by establishing healing relationships with members and families

These responsibilities are intended to describe the general nature and level of work being performed by personnel assigned to this job classification.  They are not to be construed as an exhaustive list of job duties performed by personnel in this classification.  Other job related duties may be assigned by management.

  • At least 6 months of experience in a high touch customer service or patient facing role in a healthcare setting required
  • Graduated from an accredited postsecondary program that is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) or the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES) or completed relevant Medical Assistant training by any branch of the armed forces
  • OR possess a Medical Assistant certification issued by a certifying organization accredited by either the National Commission for Certifying Agencies or the American National Standards Institute
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Experience working on collaborative, diverse and feedback-driven multi-disciplinary teams
  • A proven track record of persisting through change, demonstrating a forward thinking perspective when under pressure, and consistently stepping up to take action on challenges
  • Proficiency in computer technology such as typing, navigating the internet and using multiple software systems simultaneously

Competitive salary: the base pay for this position is $23.00 per hour based on a full time schedule

This is a full time role (40 hrs/week Monday - Friday from 8am-5pm) based in Phoenix, AZ at one of our offices presently focused on our Senior Health member population (age 65+).
