Scheduling Coordinator

Description We are looking for an outgoing, organized and goal-oriented Patient Outreach & Scheduling Coordinator to help reconnect existing patients with our hearing care offices and keep provider schedules full.

This is a proactive, phone-focused position for someone who enjoys talking with people, building relationships and turning conversations into appointments. You will work with our existing patient database to identify individuals who may be due for follow-up care, updated hearing testing, newer technology or other services and personally reach out to help get them scheduled.

This is not a cold-calling sales position. You will primarily be communicating with people who already have a relationship with our practices.

• Make proactive outbound calls to existing patients to schedule appointments and reconnect patients who may be overdue for care.

• Track outreach, appointments scheduled and results.
• Work toward individual and team scheduling and performance goals.
• Partner with our Marketing and Scheduling teams to identify new ways to reconnect patients and improve appointment activity.
