What Skills Can Increase a Patient Coordinator's Salary?

Demanded Skills for the Role:

  • Customer Service (Mentioned in 14.62% Job Postings): Customer service is the provision of service to customers before, during and after a purchase.

From the point of view of an overall sales process engineering effort, customer service plays an important role in an organization's ability to generate income and revenue. From that perspective, customer service should be included as part of an overall approach to systematic improvement. One good customer service experience can change the entire perception a customer holds towards the organization.

  • Dental Care (Mentioned in 1.58% Job Postings): Dental or oral health is concerned with your teeth, gums and mouth. The goal is to prevent complications such as tooth decay (cavities) and gum disease and to maintain the overall health of your mouth.
