Esrun Health is seeking Medical Assistants to work part-time from their home office as independent contractors while complying with HIPAA privacy laws.

Part-time team members will typically need to dedicate an average of 20-30 hours per week to care for their assigned patients initially. This time commitment will increase as the patient assignment increases. This unique business model allows you to choose what days and what hours of the day you dedicate to care for your patients.

Care Coordinators will be expected to complete due diligence measures on 100% of assigned patients and billable encounters on 90 percent of the patients they are assigned each month unless patients are unable to participate due to current health conditions.
