🚑 Be the Calm in the Chaos—Welcome Patients When They Need It Most

In an Urgent Care setting, no two days are the same—and your role is everything.

As a Patient Access Associate, you’re the first face patients see when they’re not feeling their best. Whether it’s a sudden illness, minor injury, or unexpected need for care, you create a welcoming, efficient experience right from the start.

Your ability to stay calm, organized, and compassionate helps patients feel supported—even during stressful, unplanned visits.

💼 What You’ll Do (aka Keep Things Moving Smoothly)

  • Greet and assist walk-in patients and visitors with urgency and empathy
  • Manage high-volume check-ins, registrations, and patient flow
  • Accurately verify insurance, demographics, and required documentation
  • Coordinate with clinical teams to ensure patients are seen efficiently
  • Answer phones and assist with scheduling when needed
  • Explain financial responsibilities and collect payments appropriately

⚡ What Makes You Great in Urgent Care

  • You thrive in a fast-paced, unpredictable environment
  • You can multitask without losing attention to detail
  • You stay calm and professional—even when things get busy
  • You’re compassionate and know how to put patients at ease quickly
  • You’re a team player who communicates well with both patients and staff

đź§  What You Bring

  • Strong customer service and communication skills
  • High attention to detail and accuracy
  • Ability to adapt quickly and prioritize tasks in real time

đź“‹ Minimum Requirement

  • High School Diploma or GED (or equivalent experience)

🎯 Why This Role Matters

In urgent care, patients don’t plan their visit—they rely on you to guide them through it.

Your role sets the tone for their entire experience.

💙 Make a difference when it matters most—one patient, one visit at a time.

About LCMC Health

We believe a hospital should actually be hospitable.

We’re a New Orleans-based, non-profit health system on a mission: to provide the best possible care for every person and parish in Louisiana and beyond, and to put a little more heart and soul into healthcare along the way. And that means we do things a little differently around here.

Treating people like family is the LCMC Health way, and it always has been. Founded by Louisiana’s first freestanding children’s hospital, we’ve grown into a healthcare system that’s built to serve the unique needs of our communities and families across New Orleans, the Gulf Coast and beyond.

We believe in treating the whole patient, not just the condition. When you visit an LCMC Health facility, you will get the care that is best for you and your family because we believe that shared beliefs and positive outlooks are what drive our exceptional care.

We offer nine hospital locations: Children’s Hospital New Orleans, East Jefferson General Hospital, New Orleans East Hospital, Touro, University Medical Center New Orleans, West Jefferson Medical Center, Lakeview Hospital, and Lakeside Hospital. We also deliver world-class care close to home through a network of urgent care centers across the greater New Orleans area in addition to our physician practices. With over 2,200 board-certified physicians specializing in everything from head to toe, our community can count on us to provide the right care, right where they need it.

We’ve got a rich history, but our sights are set on what comes next. We’re committed to leading the way to a healthier future for the Gulf Coast. That’s why we partner with local universities to bring the latest in care to our patients, and to train the next generation of healthcare professionals that will make a difference right here in our communities.
