Chiropractic Receptionist Job Description

Just like most other medical receptionists, chiropractic receptionists provide both front desk support and medical assistance to chiropractors.

They greet patients, provide them with information on chiropractic practices, schedule appointments and take/record patients’ information. They also verify patients’ insurance information and determine charges for out-of-pocket procedures.

Chiropractic receptionists also work as chiropractic assistants in some facilities. They are specially trained in handling similar tasks such as setting up patients’ tables and providing them with limited adjustments.

You will find chiropractic receptionists obtaining patients’ histories, taking vitals, and preparing patients for a visit with the doctor. They are also required to provide patients with information on chiropractic procedures in a bid to educate them.

Employers prefer to hire people with a Masters’s degree in a related discipline along with a current BCLS certification.
