Job description
We are seeking an energetic, outgoing, and exceptionally personable Bilingual Virtual Front Desk & Insurance Specialist to serve as the vital front-line ambassador for a fast-growing U.S.-based mental health practice. Combining high-volume inbound/outbound phone management, patient scheduling, and light insurance verification support, this is a highly patient-facing, high-touch role.
We are specifically seeking a candidate with an upbeat, warm, confident, and engaging phone demeanor in both English and Spanish. Rather than a passive assistant, the practice requires a self-directed problem-solver who takes complete ownership of patient inquiries, manages heavy call volumes with ease, and provides an compassionate, outstanding experience for individuals seeking mental health and TMS therapy services.
