About the Role

The Brightworks Patient Care Coordinator is the heart of the patient experience — the first and last impression of our practice.

You’ll be the friendly voice on the phone, the confident face that greets every guest, and the calm professional who ensures every patient feels cared for, informed, and valued.

This isn’t just a “front desk” role — it’s a hospitality position in a healthcare setting.
You’ll coordinate appointments, support treatment planning, and manage the daily rhythm of a thriving, patient-centered dental practice.

• Track outstanding claims and follow up on unpaid or denied claims.
• Post insurance payments and adjustments in the practice management system.

• Ensure full financial transparency by reviewing costs, payment options, and insurance estimates.
• Follow up with patients on pending treatment to support case acceptance and optimal oral health outcomes.
• Assist with obtaining pre-authorizations when necessary.
Team Collaboration, Professionalism & Administrative Duties
• Participate in mandatory team meetings, training sessions, and performance reviews.
• Maintain accurate patient records in compliance with HIPAA and office policies.
• Support daily office operations, including correspondence, phone management, and administrative tasks as needed.
• Collaborate closely with clinical and administrative team members to ensure a seamless and positive patient experience.
• Adhere to the office’s professional appearance standards, including business casual attire, a clean and polished appearance, and no abnormal piercings, unnatural hair colors, or visible tattoos while representing the practice.
