Collections Specialist for Dental Group

1 month ago


La Habra, United States Gold Coast Dental Full time
Job DescriptionJob DescriptionSalary: $20-$26/hour DOE

Gold Coast Dental is looking for a Collections specialist who:

Is comfortable having the uncomfortable conversations needed to collect money from people who haven’t paid their bills BUT ALSO has the empathy needed to maintain a positive relationship with these same people.

Has the patience and ability to review the nitty gritty details of an account to ensure that the balance shown is actually accurate BUT ALSO realizes that hours of number crunching and analysis doesn’t actually collect a single dollar - picking up the phone and having a conversation is where the real value is added.

Understands that giving a discount and getting a partial payment in hand today is better than having the full amount remain in accounts receivable BUT ALSO doesn’t just write everything off at the first sign of resistance.

If this sounds like you, we’d like to meet

 

We use Open Dental software, DentalXChange and NEA Fast Attach.  Experience with these products is a plus.
