Psych Pointe Texas

PsychPointe is seeking a warm, detail-oriented Receptionist / Call Center Representative to serve as the first point of contact for patients, families, and visitors — by phone, in the lobby, and through electronic channels. This role greets, schedules, and supports patients with accuracy and discretion, handling the core front office functions that keep the clinic running smoothly: answering and routing calls, scheduling appointments, verifying demographics and insurance, collecting copays, and supporting check-in and check-out. This is a non-clinical position operating in full compliance with HIPAA and PsychPointe policy and plays a critical role in patient access and experience in a behavioral health setting. 

Responsibilities 

• Answer incoming calls promptly and professionally via Zoom Workplace App or Spruce; identify caller needs and route or resolve appropriately. 
• Handle high call volume with composure; escalate clinical, urgent, or safety-related calls to the appropriate clinician or supervisor immediately. 
• Register new patients in the EHR, including demographics and insurance information, and verify insurance eligibility. 
• Schedule, reschedule, and cancel appointments in the EMR following approved appointment types, provider templates, and scheduling rules. 
• Send patient portal invitations, virtual appointment links, and pre-visit paperwork and instructions. 
• Receive and process incoming referrals, including entering referral information and documentation into the EHR. 
• Collect co-pays at time of service and refer billing or balance questions to the appropriate billing resource. 
• Support release of information (ROI) requests, route incoming faxes, and maintain accurate patient records. 
• Provide back-up support to other front office staff and assist with light office tasks as needed. 

Required and Desired Skills 

• High school diploma or equivalent required; coursework or certification in medical office administration, customer service, or healthcare preferred. 
• Minimum of one (1) year of reception, customer service, call center, or front office experience required; two (2) or more years preferred. 
• Healthcare or behavioral health front office experience required. 
• Experience with electronic health records, practice management systems, or scheduling software preferred. 
• Skill in friendly, professional phone and in-person communication, and in service recovery with frustrated patients or families. 
• Strong attention to detail — names, dates of birth, insurance numbers, and appointment times — with an accuracy-first mindset. 
• Bilingual (English/Spanish or other languages relevant to the patient population) preferred.
