This is officially the creepiest, oddest, craigslist posting EVER. And I've seen some pretty odd ones.



Front Desk Manager / Receptionist / Tech for LASIK Center

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reply to: see below
Date: 2005-10-31, 7:09PM EST

We are a LASIK Laser Vision Correction Center located in downtown Manhattan in the Village.

Owner/founder is Emil W. Chynn, MD FACS MBA, who is the:
- 1st LASIK surgeon in NYC to have LASIK himself
- only LASIK surgeon in NYC to make his entire staff BETTER than 20/20
- only high-volume LASIK surgeon in NYC with a Perfect Track Record
- Columbia and Harvard-trained

Our current Front Desk Receptionist is going on maternity leave the beginning of next year, but we are growing, so instead of hiring a temporary replacement for her, what we would like to do is hire someone full-time now, and then have the person fill in for her during her 3-month maternity leave, then stay full-time after she returns.

YOU MUST HAVE PRIOR EXPERIENCE WORKING IN A DOCTOR'S PRIVATE OFFICE

YOU MUST BE IN YOUR 30s or 40s, not in your 20s, as we need a more mature person with more work experience than somebody in their 20s.

YOU MUST BE WEARING CONTACTS OR GLASSES NOW AND WANT TO GET RID OF THEM, AS A FREE LASER VISION CORRECTION IS BOTH PART OF YOUR BENEFITS AS WELL AS A JOB REQUIREMENT, SO IF YOU DON'T WANT LASIK, DON'T APPLY, AS YOU WON'T GET THE JOB, WE ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN HIRING PEOPLE WHO WANT TO GET LASERED THEMSELVES, FOR OBVIOUS REASONS.

Your duties will include:

1. greeting patients and checking them in
2. confirming their medical insurance before they come in
3. submitting paperwork to the billing company to bill insurance if necessary
(90% of patients do not have medical insurance that covers LASIK but 10% do)
4. following up on unpaid claims to make sure they are resubmitted
5. making appointments, confirming them, and rescheduling them
6. filing and organizing charts
7. creating more efficient systems for the front and back office
8. testing patients sometimes, helping with patient work-ups, etc.
9. ordering office supplies
10. instructing patients clearly and completely at check-out

YOU MUST HAVE A TAKE-CHARGE PERSONALITY TO BE FIRM WITH THE PATIENTS, SET PROPER PROFESSIONAL TONE FOR THE OFFICE, AND MAKE SURE THEY OBEY YOU AND COMPLY WITH THEIR INSTRUCTIONS, THEIR MEDICATIONS, THEIR FOLLOW-UP, ETC.

YOU MUST BE A HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE, BUT WE WOULD PREFER A COLLEGE GRADUATE, EVEN IF IT IS ONLY A COMMUNITY COLLEGE OR 2-YEAR ASSOCIATE'S PROGRAM.

YOU MUST HAVE SOME AFFINITY FOR MEDICINE/SCIENCE, AND ACTUALLY LIKE HELPING PEOPLE AND WORKING WITH PATIENTS, AS MUCH OF YOUR DAILY ACTIVITIES WILL INVOLVE WORKING WITH, SPEAKING TO, AND WORKING WITH PREOPERATIVE AND POSTOPERATIVE EYE SURGERY PATIENTS.

This is a great job for someone with some BS retail job or boring, unfulfilling office job, and wants to move up to a more challenging and interesting and rewarding job, but YOU MUST HAVE SOME PRIOR MEDICAL BACKGROUND.

Compensation is $15 per hour.
You will be given a free LASIK worth $5000 and get rid of your glasses and see better than 20/20 forever after working here for 6 months as a bonus!
You will start as a 1099 independent contractor.
After 6 months you will be given the option to convert to W-9 employee status.

In terms of benefits, you will have the OPTION of being put on our health plan IMMEDIATELY BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT YOURSELF.
After 6 months, after you convert to W-2, we will contribute 50%.
After 1 year, we will pay for 100% of your health insurance (as an individual).
You will get 2 weeks vacation and 1 week sick/personal time after 6 months/W-2.

Once you convert to W-2, your starting/base salary will be $30,000 per year.
You will also receive a bonus of between $1000-$5000 depending on performance.

We also go out on monthly office fun outings like dinners, shows, comedy club, karyoke, etc., and also weekend retreats once a year, all paid for by the doctor.

He also encourages us to take 1 professional growth course or seminar each quarter and pays for them and gives us work time off to attend!

He is a very hard worker, very high standards of perfection, so you have to enjoy working with someone with high standards who will teach you to reach them!

We are open M-F from 10AM - 7PM.

If interested, please do EXACTLY the following:

1. email your resume and a picture to ALL of the following email addresses:

to HIRE BEFORE THANKSGIVING

If you are absolutely outstanding with prior work experience in an eye doctor's private office, and good references that check out, we have no problem hiring you IMMEDIATELY.

OTHER JOB REQUIREMENTS INCLUDE:
work well as a team player, be self-motivated, responsible, reliable, organized, good follow-through, good communicator, must know Office including Word and Excel, hopefully also know ACT! and have some experience or affinity for sales/marketing as this is a high-end cosmetic surgery practice where people spend thousands of dollars of their own money to look and see better!
