Become a Medical Administrative Assistant

Medical Administrative Assistants (MAAs) work in various office and hospital settings. They play an important role in keeping a medical office moving smoothly. MAAs are often a patient’s first interaction during their appointment. They help with answering phones, verifying insurance, scheduling appointments, and collecting co-payments at the time of service.

CMAs perform both clinical and administrative tasks. They work alongside physicians and nurse practitioners and have hands-on interactions with patients. They complete venipunctures, take vital signs, and assist with various examinations. MAAs play an important role in keeping a healthcare facility running smoothly. They perform administrative tasks, including maintaining patient records, helping patients with billing and processing insurance, and scheduling appointments. MAAs are often the patient’s first interaction in the healthcare facility and, therefore, set the standard for the level of care the patient will receive.

Medical Administrative Assistants can work in various healthcare settings, such as hospital floors, private clinics, urgent care centers, and retirement facilities.
