We are a small, private-practice dental office. We usually have 3 providers a day (2 hygienists and one dentist). We currently have one full-time employee doing our patient scheduling and another part-time employee doing our insurance billing and insurance verification. We are looking for an office manager/treatment plan coordinator to help us fill the remaining duties needed to run the dental office. Work days are Monday-Saturday with alternating Mondays or Saturdays off. Monday and Wednesday are from 7:30-5:30 with lunch from 12-1 and the rest of the days are 7:30-4:30.

Your main duties will be to ensure the proper flow of the office and to supplement wherever needed. At this point, the main position is to check the patients out, collect the estimate for the day's procedures, provide an estimate/create a payment plan for any future treatment, and run the office billing. You will also be responsible for office manager responsibilities such as auditing employee roles, ensuring protocols are being followed (at times, helping to create those protocols), monitoring and planning employee certifications and training, managing office bills and paperwork, and auditing financials. There may be times when you may be asked to provide additional help in the back, including running sterilization or helping the assistants take x-rays on a patient.

Previous experience as a Front office manager, dental treatment coordinator, office administrator, or dental assistant would be an advantage. A successful Office manager/treatment coordinator should have experience with a variety of office software (email tools, spreadsheets and databases) and be able to accurately handle administrative duties. Ultimately, you should be able to ensure the smooth running of the office, help to improve company procedures and day-to-day operation. We use Open Dental Practice Management Software and Flex Dental to supplement with patient forms, payments, and texting
