Dental treatment coordinators explain treatment options to patients and help determine these clients' best option. They use everyday language to explain why treatment is necessary and what specific options would entail. Once a treatment is chose by the patient, dental treatment coordinators lay out potential payment plans and explain the next steps in treatment. Dental coordinators also help determine ways to improve office efficiency and workflow, presenting these ideas to supervisors and helping to carry them out. Day-to-day responsibilities as a dental treatment coordinator include outlining dental options for clients, interacting regularly with the dentist, providing payment plans for patients, and answering phone calls or emails from patients that have any questions about treatments. A patient services representative is responsible for a variety of activities related to patient intake and care. They work in medical offices and serve as the first point of contact for patients entering the facility. They greet and check-in patients, verify information and enter it into the system, collect payments for services, answer the phone, schedule appointments, and file paperwork. In offices that have a very large patient base, this can be a very fast paced job that requires a lot of multitasking. Show less
