Patient Care Specialist (Medical Assistant)

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Must not include placeholder sections. We need to parse description. First paragraph: Description: Patient Care Specialist Brighton NY Planned Parenthood of Central and Western New York (PPCWNY) protects and provides health care and education that empowers individuals and families. With respect. Without judgment. No matter what. In support of PPCWNY’s mission, the Patient Care Specialist takes a lead role in working with the health center staff to provide education and counseling for patients and supports the services of all health center functions to ensure patients receive professional services in a prompt, courteous, confidential, and caring manner. That's about the role. So we can have

About the role

with that paragraph. Then "Essential Functions" includes many bullet-like sentences. We can treat as Responsibilities. So

Responsibilities

with

• items. We need to extract each essential function as list items. Let's list them: - Independently responsible for handling the intake process in accordance with PPCWNY’s policies: greeting patients, determining the reason for visit, verifying patient demographic information, checking patients in/out of EHR, verifying insurance, and screening applicants for presumptive eligibility, Medicaid for Pregnant Women, and the Family Planning Benefit Program and assisting the patient with the completion of forms and releases; verify insurance eligibility and coverage prior to services being rendered - Clearly and accurately records data in the Electronic Health Record including vital signs and medical/family/social history - Performs routine tests, including but not limited to; urine pregnancy tests, HIV tests, blood draws, urine specimen collection and urine dips, as ordered by the provider - Assists the Clinician in the exam room by providing patient support, comfort measures, counseling, basic education and information including but not limited to; reproductive health care/issues, birth control, STI’s information - Responsible for opening exam rooms; preparation and set-up and closing of exam rooms; breakdown, cleaning and storage of all patient service rooms, supplies, equipment, and documentation on a daily basis - Key resource for handling the annual update of all reference materials used in the health center to ensure accuracy and consistency in accordance with PPFA Medical Standards and Guidelines - Prepares specimens for lab pick-up - Assists in surgical abortion service areas including but not limited to; products of conception, recovery room, and procedure room support - Assist with patient referrals, phone calls, reports, and follow-up appointment scheduling as directed within the protocol guidelines of PPCWNY - Performs POC duties per policy and procedure Then "Patient Services" section includes many duties: - Operate telephones efficiently by promptly answering the telephone, screening telephone calls and referring appropriately, and recording and delivering telephone messages as necessary - Maintain a clean and organized work area, ensuring patient confidentiality according to HIPAA compliance regulations - Schedule, confirm and reschedule patient appointments as needed in a timely, efficient manner - Interface with Phreesia to check in and register patients - Assess patients for their placement on a Discount Fee Schedule - Request income information from patients by completing the appropriate documentation - Assess eligibility and screen patients for grants and other payment sources such as but not limited to: Medicaid Presumptive Eligibility for Pregnant Women and the Family Planning Benefit Program - Assist patients with completion of insurance forms as necessary; assist in obtaining necessary program eligibility documentation, if necessary - Collect payment and inform client of any outstanding financial responsibility - Verify checks, credit cards, and debit cards, as outlined in procedures; provide patient with a receipt - Provide emergency contraceptives and birth control to patients/people who walk in for supply sales in accordance to company policy and procedure - Review charges for completeness and accuracy; enter client visit record (CVR) data into EPM - Follow appropriate Cash Handling procedures Then "Other Accountability Activities": - Provide excellent customer service to all patients and visitors with the intent of exceeding expectations - Clerical duties including but not limited to; Copying, locating charts, fax/scan charts and paperwork, mailing, and completing appropriate forms - Conduct monthly inventory and ordering of supplies as required - Expected to travel to other sites to fill in as directed by Health Center Leadership - Participates in and adhere to agency’s compliance, Quality and Risk Management program - Participate in affiliate initiatives - Responsible individually and jointly for achieving productivity, customer service, and capacity goals as set by PPCWNY - Assists with training of new Patient Services Specialist and Patient Care Assistants to ensure that cross training occurs leading to support of all health center programs/services - Works on other projects as assigned by the Health Center Manager, Nurse, or Director of Health Center Operations - Shows respect to all internal and external customers for differences in backgrounds, lifestyles, viewpoints, and needs Then "Requirements:" then "Qualifications" subheading. We need sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have "Requirements: Qualifications Applicants must possess the following qualifications (or equivalent combination of education and experience): Education High School Diploma or GED preferred Certificates, Licenses, Registrations Medical Assistant certification desired Experience— 2 - 4 years of experience in a clinical role Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities Must be able to handle client information discreetlyMust be organized, able to prioritize tasks and handle multiple projectsMust have excellent customer service and communication skills (verbal and written) and be comfortable with multi-taskingAbility to work effectively and cooperatively with staff; ability to work in a fast-paced environment; able to juggle multiple priorities a mustComputer skills basic Microsoft office, email and use of Electronic Health Records strongly preferredExperience in customer service desirableMust be able to work a flexible schedule, and travel to multiple sites, as neededPlanned Parenthood seeks candidates who have experience delivering care and services to diverse service populationsPlanned Parenthood seeks candidates who have proficiency in two or more languagesA commitment to PPCWNY’s mission, vision, & values, along with a commitment to providing services to a wide range of clients and to the goals of PPCWNY is essential" We can split into sections: Requirements (maybe overall), Qualifications (education, certs, experience), Skills (knowledge, skills, abilities). But we must only include sections that have real specific content. We can include Requirements as a heading with maybe a short paragraph summarizing? But we must not create filler. The posting has a "Requirements:" line then details. We could treat that as Requirements section with a

  containing the text after "Requirements:"? However we also have Qualifications and Skills subheadings inside. The instruction says use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have separate headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide what content goes under each. The posting says: "Requirements: Qualifications Applicants must possess the following qualifications (or equivalent combination of education and experience): Education High School Diploma or GED preferred Certificates, Licenses, Registrations Medical Assistant certification desired Experience— 2 - 4 years of experience in a clinical role Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities Must be able to handle client information discreetly..." Thus we can parse: - Requirements: maybe a brief statement? But the text after "Requirements:" is actually the qualifications. So we could treat the whole block as Qualifications. But we need to avoid duplication. Perhaps we can have Requirements section with a short paragraph: "Applicants must possess the following qualifications (or equivalent combination of education and experience):" then list? But that repeats. Better: Use Requirements heading for the general statement (maybe none). But we must not create filler. If we put Requirements heading with no specific content, that's not allowed. So we should either omit Requirements heading if we don't have distinct content separate from Qualifications and Skills. However the instruction list includes Requirements as an example but says "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". So we need to see if there is distinct content for Requirements beyond Qualifications and Skills. The posting lumps them together; there is no separate "Requirements" paragraph besides the intro "Requirements: Qualifications ...". So we could treat that as the Qualifications section, and maybe not include a separate Requirements heading. But we could also treat the "Requirements:" line as a heading and then the content as Qualifications and Skills sub-sections? But we only allowed

  headings, not nested. So we cannot have subheadings. Thus we need to decide: either we combine Qualifications and Skills under one heading (maybe "Qualifications") and include education, certs, experience, knowledge, skills, abilities. Or we split into Qualifications and Skills headings. Given the posting explicitly separates "Education", "Certificates, Licenses, Registrations", "Experience", then "Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities". That fits Qualifications (education, certs, experience) and Skills (knowledge, skills, abilities). So we can have:

  Qualifications

  with
  • for Education, Certificates, Licenses, Registrations, Experience.

    Skills

    with
    • for each knowledge, skill, ability. We should not include a separate Requirements heading because its content is covered. Now Benefits and Pay and Schedule. Benefits: "In addition to competitive compensation, PPCWNY offers an extensive benefits package with generous Paid Time Off, 10 paid holidays, affordable medical, dental, and vision options, Health Savings Account or Flexible Spending Account, 401(k) with match, and much more!" Pay: "At PPCWNY, we are committed to equitable compensation practices and transparency. In alignment with these efforts, the pay for this position ranges from $20.71 to $24.05/hour. Actual compensation will be determined by experience and other factors permitted by law." Schedule: "Work Schedule This is a full-time (40 hours per week); regular schedule will be Monday – Friday with occasional evenings and weekends." Thus we have specific content for Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So include those headings. Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /, no markdown. We'll produce:
