About The Position

Saint Alphonsus Health System is hiring an organized and efficient Medical Assistant for its Pain Management and Spine clinic located inside Boise Regional Medical Center. The position supports a new physician in a fast-paced, high-volume clinic. The clinic takes a whole-person approach to pain management, including physical therapy, injections, nutrition, exercise, relaxation, stress management, and biofeedback. The Spine Care Center provides individualized treatment for cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine conditions, emphasizing quality care and optimum results with minimal intervention. The Medical Assistant performs typical MA duties and supports patient care through medical history collection, urine toxicology screens, and patient education. Additional tasks include chart preparation, referral review, prior authorizations, procedure scheduling, responding to patient telephone calls and MyChart messages, and cross-training with front-office staff. Because the clinic is located in a hospital, the role involves more time on one's feet than a typical clinic role. The schedule is 40 hours per week across four 10-hour days, Monday through Thursday, approximately 6:45 a.m. to 5:15 p.m., with Fridays off.
