Associate's in Medical AssistingBack to topMedical assistants perform many administrative duties. They answer telephones, greet patients, update and file patient medical records, complete insurance and referral forms, handle correspondence, schedule appointments, arrange for hospital admissions and laboratory services, handle medical prescriptions, coordinate meetings with medical representatives, and handle billing and bookkeeping. Clinical duties include: taking medical histories and recording vital signs, explaining treatment procedures to patients, preparing patients for examination and assisting the physician during the examination. The duties of medical assistants vary from office to office depending on location, size and specialty. In small practices, medical assistants are usually generalists, handling both administrative and clinical duties. They usually report directly to an office manager, physician or other health practitioner. Those in large practices tend to specialize in a particular area under the supervision of department administrators or practice managers.
