This is an important role in our practice, and we're looking for someone who wants to take ownership of it.
The right person is organized, personable, proactive, and comfortable working independently. Someone who sees what needs to be done and takes care of it without always being asked. We value a strong work ethic, reliability, good judgment, and a positive attitude just as much as experience.
Responsibilities include:

- Verifying insurance coverage and clearly explaining benefits to patients

- Assisting with insurance claims and verification

What we're looking for:
- Someone who takes initiative and ownership of their responsibilities
- A strong work ethic and genuine pride in doing a job well
- Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills
- The ability to multitask, prioritize, and problem-solve independently
- Dependability, professionalism, and a positive attitude
- At least 2 years of office administration experience preferred, ideally in a medical or healthcare setting
- Technical fluency — you know your way around Google Workspace (Gmail, Sheets, Docs, Drive, Search Console/Analytics), and ideally have experience with an EHR or Practice Management tool, CRM, CMS (content management system), or similar operational/organizational tool(s)
- Someone who is comfortable learning new systems and continuously improving how things are done
- Bonus points if you have experience with Jane App (or a similar practice management tool — MindBodyOnline, Office Ally, etc.,)
Why join our team?
We're a friendly, close-knit practice that takes patient care seriously while maintaining a relaxed and enjoyable work environment. We value our employees, appreciate people who go the extra mile, and believe that everyone plays an important role in our success.

Medical Office Assistant Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a medical office assistant in Massachusetts?
Massachusetts does not require a state-issued license to work as a medical office assistant, but most employers prefer candidates who have completed an accredited medical assisting certificate or associate degree program. Earning a national credential such as the Certified Medical Assistant credential through the American Association of Medical Assistants strengthens your application considerably with Massachusetts health systems. Community colleges such as Bunker Hill, Quinsigamond, and Bristol offer accredited programs that align with the hiring expectations of Massachusetts employers.
Which companies hire medical office assistants in Massachusetts?
Employers hiring medical office assistants in Massachusetts right now include Select Physical Therapy, Beth Israel Lahey Health, and Heywood Medical, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Massachusetts's dense network of academic medical centers, community health centers, and large physician group practices means openings appear consistently across both urban and suburban locations throughout the state.
Which Massachusetts cities have the most medical office assistant jobs?
Brockton, Gardner, and Worcester lead Massachusetts for medical office assistant openings, driven by the concentration of academic health systems, large specialty group practices, and community health centers anchored in those metro areas. Smaller cities such as Springfield and Lowell also generate steady demand because regional hospital networks and Federally Qualified Health Centers in those communities maintain ongoing front-desk and clinical-administrative staffing needs.
Are there remote medical office assistant jobs in Massachusetts?
Yes, but they're rare. About 11% of medical office assistant openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting the largely in-person nature of clinical-administrative work. The tasks most likely to shift to remote arrangements are medical billing, prior authorization review, and insurance follow-up, rather than patient-facing scheduling or check-in duties that require an on-site presence.
How can I get hired as a medical office assistant in Massachusetts with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is completing a short-term medical assisting certificate program and applying to community health centers, which tend to offer on-the-job training for candidates with limited backgrounds. Mass General Brigham and Beth Israel Lahey Health both post entry-level clinical coordinator and patient services representative roles that function as structured on-ramps for new graduates. Lateral moves from roles such as patient registration specialist or medical receptionist are a common bridge, and holding a Certified Medical Assistant credential, even without prior work history, gives Massachusetts applicants a meaningful edge.
Where can I find and apply to medical office assistant jobs in Massachusetts?
You can find and apply to medical office assistant jobs in Massachusetts on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the listings to find roles that match your location, experience level, and preferred practice setting, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
