Optical Office Staff Jobs in Washington

An Optical Office Staff plays a crucial role in the optometry industry by handling numerous administrative and customer service tasks that contribute to a smooth functioning of an optical clinic or store. They are typically responsible for greeting and checking in patients, scheduling appointments, maintaining patient records, processing payments, and assisting with eye wear sales and fittings. They may also be tasked with performing preliminary eye tests and communicating with insurance companies. A strong understanding of optometry terminology, excellent communication skills, and attention to detail are imperative for this role.

Before becoming an Optical Office Staff, an individual might have held positions such as Receptionist, Customer Service Representative, or Administrative Assistant. To excel as an Optical Office Staff, one should possess certifications in medical billing and coding or optometric assistant certification, although requirements may vary depending on the specific role and employer. Other valuable skills include proficiency with office software, the ability to multitask efficiently, and a friendly and professional demeanor. Experience in the healthcare field, particularly in an optometry or ophthalmology setting, can be advantageous.
