Hiring a front desk admin in Pennsylvania
A front desk admin runs the entire front-of-house workflow for a practice - greeting patients via video kiosk or check-in app, capturing intake and insurance, scheduling and rescheduling, coordinating with the back office, and managing day-end reconciliation. Different from a Medical Receptionist who is phone-led - a front desk admin owns the full check-in flow.
Pennsylvania has over 50,000 active physicians, with hubs in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and the Lehigh Valley. Mix of academic and independent practice. Demand spans family medicine, internal medicine, behavioral health, and orthopedics.
