    About Us At Clearwater Family Medicine and Allergy, our motto is simple: We listen. We care. We help you feel better and live healthier, starting today!

    We're an independent, physician-owned practice with offices in Clearwater and Palm Harbor. We offer primary care and prevention, allergy and asthma care, weight management with GLP-1 medications and health coaching, hormone optimization, chronic disease management, Direct Primary Care memberships, aesthetics, and telemedicine across Florida.

    We believe healthcare should be a partnership. Patients should feel known, heard, respected, and empowered to take part in their health. We also know we're a small business, and running it well is what lets us stay independent, invest in our team, and keep serving our community. Great patient care and sound business management go hand in hand.

    The Role We're looking for a Practice Administrator / Office Manager who wants to build, not just maintain. You'll report directly to our physician owner and lead operations, staffing, growth, revenue cycle, and quality across both locations.

    This is a leadership role with a hands-on heart. When the team is short-staffed or slammed, you jump in.

    You'll thrive here if you:

    See an empty provider schedule and ask how to fill it

    See an inefficient process and improve it

    See a staffing need and start recruiting

    See a teammate struggling and help

    See a recurring problem and fix the system behind it

    What You'll Do

    Lead Operations Across Both Offices

    Oversee daily operations, staffing, patient flow, and scheduling in Clearwater and Palm Harbor

    Write and maintain clear policies, procedures, and SOPs

    Keep wait times short and processes consistent across locations

    Anticipate problems before they become crises

    Manage vendors, facilities, supplies, equipment, and new technology rollouts

    Be Hands-On When It Counts

    Cover front desk, phones, check-in/checkout, scheduling, and payments when needed

    Help with referrals, prior authorizations, and medical records

    Assist with medical assistant duties, rooming, and allergy injections when trained and qualified

    Grow the Practice

    Review provider schedules, fill cancellations, and build waitlist processes

    Work toward 85% or greater provider schedule utilization

    Build full patient panels at both locations and support new provider ramp-up

    Track new-patient volume and referral sources, and measure what's working

    Build relationships with referring practices and community partners

    Help plan and attend marketing and community events, which may include some mornings, evenings, or weekends

    Build and Lead the Team

    Recruit, hire, onboard, and train staff, and help recruit providers

    Manage schedules, attendance, PTO, coverage, and overtime

    Set clear expectations, hold regular check-ins, and complete performance reviews

    Recognize great work and address performance issues promptly

    Model and protect our positive, professional, low-drama culture

    Own the Revenue Cycle and Finances

    Monitor KPIs, billing, collections, denials, and A/R, and follow issues through to resolution

    Oversee billing across insurance, PIP, Direct Primary Care memberships, and self-pay services

    Identify revenue leakage and opportunities to reduce expenses

    Assist with reconciliation and financial reporting

    Coordinate with billing, accounting, credentialing, and prior authorization vendors

    Quality, ACO, and Compliance

    Coordinate ACO, value-based care, and MIPS workflows, quality measures, and reporting

    Manage provider credentialing, recredentialing, and payer enrollment

    Maintain HIPAA and OSHA processes and staff training

    Patient Experience

    Promote a welcoming, responsive experience for every patient

    Monitor reviews and feedback, resolve escalated concerns, and fix root causes

    How Success Is Measured We'll set clear goals together, including provider schedule utilization, new-patient growth, staffing stability, A/R and collections, and quality performance. One of the biggest measures: you take routine administrative work off the physician owner's plate by solving problems independently and bringing solutions, not just problems. Raises are based on performance and impact, not tenure alone.

    What We're Looking For

    Required

    Medical practice or healthcare management experience

    Experience supervising employees and managing performance

    Solid understanding of insurance, billing, claims, A/R, and the revenue cycle

    Strong computer, spreadsheet, and EHR skills

    Excellent written and verbal communication

    Strong organization, judgment, and problem-solving skills

    Accuracy, discretion, professionalism, and accountability

    Willingness to be hands-on and help the team when needed

    Flexibility to attend occasional morning, evening, or weekend events

    Preferred

    3+ years of medical practice management experience

    Independent or physician-owned practice experience

    Multi-location management experience

    ACO, value-based care, MIPS, or quality program experience

    Credentialing and payer enrollment experience

    Healthcare marketing, referral development, or recruiting experience

    athenaOne experience

    Direct Primary Care, membership, or self-pay experience

    Associate's or bachelor's degree in healthcare administration, business, or a related field

    What We Offer

    Competitive salary: based on experience

    Performance-based raises tied to clear goals

    10 days of paid time off (PTO)

    10.5 paid holidays

    401(k) with a 3% Safe Harbor employer contribution after 1,000 hours or 1 year of service

    Paid training on our systems

    Weekday schedule with occasional event-based hours

    A direct line to the physician owner and real influence over how the practice runs and grows
