Cooley Dickinson Plastic Surgery is seeking a full-time Surgical Scheduler to join our busy, collaborative practice in downtown Florence, MA. This is an opportunity to work closely with surgeons, physician assistants, patients, and insurance providers while supporting life-enhancing reconstructive and cosmetic care in a modern, conveniently located office.

• Schedule surgical procedures and coordinate related pre- and post-operative appointments.
• Obtain insurance authorizations and collect necessary medical records, referrals, and supporting documentation.
• Support self-pay cosmetic cases and help ensure clear communication around scheduling requirements.
• Receive incoming communication and online requests from patients and referring providers seeking access to care.
• Complete patient registration and scheduling processes accurately and in accordance with department procedures.
• Answer calls, triage requests, take detailed messages, and provide professional, courteous service.

• Maintain accurate documentation across systems while protecting patient confidentiality and privacy consistent with HIPAA guidelines.

Qualifications

• Customer service experience, including contact or call center experience, required.
• Medical office or health care setting experience preferred.
• Epic experience preferred.
• Strong communication, interpersonal, and teamwork skills.
