About the role

Precision Eye Care is hiring a Surgical Coordinator to carry cataract and refractive surgical patients from the decision to operate through their post-operative visits. This role is the single point of accountability for every administrative and logistical detail of a surgical case. Our surgical volume is growing, and cases cannot move without this position working well.

What you'll do

Schedule surgical cases with the ASC and maintain the surgical calendar alongside clinic templates

Obtain prior authorizations, referrals, and pre-certifications, and track each to approval before the date of service

Coordinate medical clearances and communicate outstanding items to patients and referring physicians

Prepare and confirm informed consent, verify lens selection and biometry are complete and documented

Counsel patients on out-of-pocket costs for premium lenses and elective services, collect payment, and document the financial discussion

Confirm transportation, arrival instructions, and post-operative appointments before the case date

Produce a case-status report for each surgical day covering lens, consent, clearance, payment, authorization, transportation, and post-operative appointment

Serve as the practice's liaison with the ASC and device representatives

What we're looking for

Experience coordinating surgical cases, ideally in ophthalmology; ASC or specialty surgical practice experience considered

Working knowledge of prior authorization and insurance verification, including Medicare and Medicare Advantage

Exceptional organization under deadline — a missed clearance cancels a case

Comfort discussing cost and payment with patients directly and with care

EHR proficiency; athenaOne experience a plus

Discretion with protected health information
