On-siteHealthcare$60k–$75k/yrFull-time

About the role

This is patient-facing, hands-on work for someone who takes real pride in their craft: flawless blood draws, smooth visit flow, prior authorizations that don't stall, and referrals that actually land. Our members pay for a premium experience, and you're a big part of what makes it feel that way.

Responsibilities

  • Perform blood draws with exceptional technique and a calm, reassuring presence. Handle specimen processing, labeling, and lab logistics end to end.
  • Take vitals, administer EKGs and point-of-care testing, prep for procedures, and keep the clinical day running smoothly for our physicians.
  • Own prior auths from submission to approval — imaging, medications, specialist visits. Coordinate referrals with specialist offices and imaging centers across the city and follow through until the patient is seen.
  • Navigate the NYC System: Use your working knowledge of New York's hospital systems (Mount Sinai, Lenox Hill / Northwell, NewYork-Presbyterian / Weill Cornell), imaging centers, and pharmacies to keep care moving — calling, faxing, portal-chasing, and following up so patients never have to.
  • Inventory, supplies, exam room turnover, equipment checks, and the operational details that make a clinical space feel effortless.

Requirements

  • Current national MA certification required: CMA (AAMA), RMA (AMT), or CCMA (NHA).
  • Expert phlebotomist — 2+ years of regular, high-volume draw experience. You'll demonstrate your technique during the interview process. Separate phlebotomy certification (CPT) a plus.
  • 3+ years as a medical assistant in outpatient, primary care, or specialty practice.
  • Hands-on prior authorization experience — you've worked insurer portals, peer-to-peer queues, and know how to get to 'approved.'
  • Familiarity with NYC hospital systems, imaging centers, and specialist landscape strongly preferred.
  • EKG, point-of-care testing, and EMR proficiency.
  • Meticulous — specimens, documentation, and follow-ups are always right.
  • Warm and unflappable with patients; service mindset suited to a concierge membership practice.
  • Self-starter who follows tasks through to done, not just handed off.
  • Team player who communicates clearly and asks when unsure.
