Work Setting
Physician Offices, Clinics, Urgent Care, Immediate Care Clinics, Skilled Nursing Facilities and hospitals.
General Hours of Work
General hours for the medical receptionist are 8 AM to 5 PM, however, your hours would be dependent on the office you work in.
Some urgent care and immediate care settings may stay open later than other clinics and physician offices. In addition, some larger clinics will have night clinics, which may require you to stay in the evening.
Hospitals are open 24 hours a day and would require that a medical receptionist be onsite 24 hours a day.
General Days of Work
The days per week are generally Monday through Friday, with an occasional Saturday. However, once again, this will depend heavily on the setting you work in. For instance, Hospitals are open every day of the year and Urgent Care and Immediate Care settings are usually open on Sunday.
Pay Range
Your pay range will depend on the setting and the doctors you work for.
It is our experience that the pay range will be anywhere from $9.00 - 13.00 per hour.

Requirements
Though there are no specific requirements for the State of Oregon for medical receptionist, some employers prefer that a medical receptionist have some sort of formal training or experience. On the other hand, some employers are willing to train employees for medical receptionists.
