Medical Assistant

Alright, let's talk about this Lead Medical Assistant role at Conviva in Corpus Christi, TX. This isn't your standard MA job; it's the lead position. You're the first point of contact and you own the process. You'll need to be sharp, independent, and ready to guide others.

What you'll do

The day to day mixes advanced clinical work with running the show administratively. You're collaborating directly with Physicians and Advanced Practice Providers, making decisions on daily priorities, and often overseeing the work of other MAs or external vendors.

• Handle a full range of clinical duties: discussing symptoms, taking vitals, giving medications and vaccines, performing phlebotomy, collecting specimens, and running diagnostic tests.
• You're responsible for sterilizing equipment, keeping exam rooms ready, and documenting everything accurately in the electronic medical record.
• This is about ownership. You'll lead specialized administrative and customer support tasks that require your own initiative and judgment.
• A big part of the job is mentoring and providing advanced guidance to other Medical Assistants on your team. You'll also contribute to process improvements and help with in depth training.

What you need to bring

We need someone who's been around the block clinically and is ready to step up into a leadership role. Here are the non negotiables.

• You must be a Certified or Registered Medical Assistant.
• A high school diploma or equivalent is required.
• Bring at least three years of solid Medical Assistant experience to the table.
• Specific hands on experience with phlebotomy is a must.
• You also need direct experience administering medications and vaccines.
• Current CPR certification is required.

A couple important notes. This role is patient facing, so it's part of Humana's Tuberculosis screening program. If you're selected, you'll need to complete a TB test. And because you might handle sensitive info, please know that during the application you may be asked to provide your Social Security Number securely if it's not already on file.

The extras we'd love to see

If you have any of this background, it's a major plus.

• Even better if one or more of those years of MA experience was in a Primary Care Office center.
• Any background in Value Based Care would be great; things like knowledge of HEDIS measures, CPT/ICD coding, or CAHPS/HOS patient experience surveys.
• Being bilingual in English and Spanish is a huge asset for our community. But if you list it, you'll need to pass a proficiency exam before using the language with patients.
