About The Position

American Family Care is hiring a PRN Medical Assistant to support its urgent care centers with clinical care, patient registration, and insurance verification. The role requires at least four shifts per month, with the option to pick up more, and may involve floating to nearby centers as coverage or patient volume requires. The position is suited to someone seeking supplemental income, flexible scheduling, or part-time hours while contributing directly to patient care.

The Medical Assistant greets and triages patients, collects vital signs and histories, performs venipuncture and CLIA-waived point-of-care testing, and assists with minor procedures, wound care, EKGs, and nebulizer therapy. Front-desk responsibilities include registering patients, verifying insurance eligibility, determining financial responsibility, collecting co-pays, reconciling payment logs, and maintaining accurate EMR records. The role also includes educating patients, providing discharge instructions, responding empathetically to concerns, participating in daily huddles, maintaining compliance logs, and supporting infection-control and HIPAA standards.

The work takes place in a fast-paced urgent care environment with frequent role-switching. It involves prolonged standing and walking, routine exposure to blood and body fluids with strict PPE adherence, and occasional lifting of up to 25–30 pounds. Evening and weekend availability and coverage at nearby centers may be needed.
