Description
WelbeHealth PACE helps seniors stay in their homes and communities by providing medical care and community-based services. Our values and participant focus lead the way no matter what.
The Medical Assistant focuses on assisting the medical staff (providers, nurses, and on-site specialty care providers) in the provision of safe and efficient delivery of medical services at the WelbeHealth clinic. The Medical Assistant performs routine administrative and clinical duties such as scheduling medical appointments, greeting participants, filing medical records, taking and recording vital signs, preparing exam rooms, and maintaining equipment and supplies.
This role is different because Medical Assistants at WelbeHealth:
- Engage in both clinical care and front-office interactions, fostering meaningful participant relationships while maintaining hands-on medical responsibilities, unlike traditional Medical Assistant positions focused solely on back-office or clinical work
- Have the time and support to provide quality care and build trust, balancing efficiency with connection, rather than rushing through high patient volumes
We care about our team members. That’s why we offer:
- Medical insurance coverage (Medical, Dental, Vision)
- Work/life balance - We mean it! 17 days of personal time off (PTO), 12 holidays observed annually, and 6 sick days
- 401K savings + match
- Comprehensive compensation package including base pay and bonus
- And additional benefits!
On the day-to-day, you will:
- Prepare participants for appointments, including but not limited to setting up exam rooms, checking participants in and out, and obtaining an accurate history of illness
- Perform required pre-exam physical tests, such as measuring and documenting participants’ vital signs
- Perform general medical procedures, such as dressing changes and suture removals, as directed and under specific authorization and supervision of a physician
- Collect and prepare laboratory specimens as ordered, and perform routine sterilization procedures of medical and dental equipment
- Maintain clinic logs and ensure exam rooms are properly stocked, sanitized, and re-prepped at all times
Job requirements include:
- Current Medical Assistant certification required, including one of the following:
- Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) through the American Association of Medical Assistants (AAMA)
- Registered Medical Assistant (RMA) though the American Medical Technologists (AMT)
- Or National Certified Medical Assistant (NCMA) thought the National Center of Competency Testing (NCCT.)
- Two (2) years of experience working as a Medical Assistant in a clinical setting with a frail or elderly population
- Two (2)-year degree program in medical assistance
- Phlebotomy experience required
- Reliable means of transportation
- Must obtain CPR and First Aid certification within 180 days of hire and maintain certification thereafter; CPR and First Aid certification upon hire preferred
We are seeking Medical Assistants that have phlebotomy experience. If you’re ready to join a holistic care team that values both its participants and providers, we’d love to hear from you!
Compensation consists of base salary plus bonus. WelbeHealth offers a competitive total rewards package that includes a 401(k) match, comprehensive healthcare coverage, and a broad range of additional benefits. Actual compensation will be determined based on experience and relevant qualifications.
