Bilingual Patient Care Coordinator & Medical Scribe

We are seeking an exceptionally sharp, eagle-eyed, and bilingual Virtual Patient Care & Medical Document Coordinator to support a prominent, fast-paced Orthopedic and Pain Management practice. This practice operates with a highly structured local team and serves a predominantly Spanish-speaking patient demographic.

This is not a passive typing role. Because the client dictates their own clinical charts, we are looking for a "Frontline Clinical Editor"—someone structurally analytical who intentionally hunts for medical errors, missing documentation, or inconsistencies in self-dictated notes. In specialized medicine, accurate documentation is the practice’s ultimate defense line; this position is vital to ensuring medical notes provide the ironclad medical necessity required to protect and maximize Workers’ Compensation (WC), Personal Injury (PI), and PIP/lien-based claims against insurance denials.

When you are not auditing dictations, you will be actively managing the front-office workflow: bridging the communication gap for Spanish-speaking patients, answering inbound/outbound queues, and ensuring smooth appointment scheduling.

Core Responsibilities:

Medical Document Quality Assurance (Primary Focus)

• Meticulous Chart Auditing: Review, edit, and actively scrub the client's self-dictated clinical reports and notes for terminology errors, missing body markers, anatomical discrepancies, or formatting issues.
• Clinical Accuracy Safeguarding: Ensure all musculoskeletal treatment plans, injection notes, and surgical recommendations match the intended medical direction before final chart closure.
• EMR Record Maintenance: Keep patient charts flawlessly organized and updated inside DrChrono, flagging missing clinical data or diagnostic lab results for the on-site team.

Inbound & Outbound Patient Care Coordination

• Active Phone Queue Support: Answer live inbound calls and handle critical outbound patient phone queues professionally and efficiently.
• Bilingual Patient Advocacy: Serve as the primary, high-comfort touchpoint for Spanish-speaking patients—clearly explaining scheduling details, post-op care timelines, and office workflows.
• Schedule Optimization: Coordinate and book new patient consultations, specialized spinal/orthopedic follow-ups, and diagnostic testing slots to keep the practice's daily calendar perfectly maximized.

Personal Injury & Specialty Case Support (Preferred)

• Lien-Based Workflow Support: Maintain precise data entry for Personal Injury (PI) and lien-based medical files, ensuring proper case tracking.
• Med-Legal Documentation Handling: Assist the on-site team with organizing medical records required by case managers or legal affiliates when necessary.

Requirements

Required Qualifications (Non-Negotiable)

• Specialty Medical Experience: Minimum 2 years of dedicated administrative, scribe, or clinical document improvement and auditing experience specifically within Orthopedics, Spine, Neurosurgery, Chiropractic, or Pain Management.

• Bilingual Fluency: Total verbal and written command of both English and Spanish. Must be entirely comfortable translating complex musculoskeletal concepts to patients.
• The "Editor" Mindset: Proven experience reviewing, proofreading, or editing physician clinical documentation with a firm, assertive eye for catching human error.
• Technical Workspace: Dedicated, highly secure home office setup compliant with HIPAA privacy protocols, equipped with high-speed internet and an automated time-tracking system.

Strongly Preferred Experience

• Hands-on operational experience inside DrChrono EMR.
• Prior background navigating Personal Injury (PI), med-legal liens, or Workers' Compensation patient pathways.
• A deep, native familiarity with complex musculoskeletal and spinal anatomy terms.
