PRN Central Scheduler

Coordinate and schedule patient appointments across multiple departments (diagnostic tests, procedures, and specialist consultations) based on provider availability, patient needs, and clinical urgency. Input and verify patient and insurance information in EMR systems, perform pre-registration, and prepare patients with instructions for tests. Ensure medical necessity for Medicare patients, assist uninsured/underinsured patients with financial assistance, obtain pre-certification and prior authorization with CPT/ICD codes, and maintain compliance with payer requirements. Communicate with physicians, nurses, and staff to align appointments with clinical priorities; handle high-volume scheduling with strong organizational and troubleshooting skills. Proficient use of scheduling software and Microsoft Office Suite is expected; knowledge of medical terminology is a plus.
