Clinic Receptionist / Medical Front Desk, US Employers

Clinic receptionist and medical front desk roles across the United States. This page is a career and job-search overview covering many employers, not an advert for one guaranteed vacancy. Use the official careers link to search current openings by location.

What the work involves

Patient reception, appointment administration, telephone enquiries and accurate data entry. Billing, insurance and other responsibilities depend on the clinic and the specific role.

Requirements

BLS records a high school diploma or equivalent as the typical entry requirement for receptionists, with short-term on-the-job training and no prior work experience. Individual employers can and do ask for more, so check each advert's minimum education, experience and software requirements.

Pay and working hours

Pay and schedules are set by each employer. Receptionists had a median of $18.27 an hour nationally in May 2025, but the figure moves by setting: $19.35 in hospitals, $17.23 in nursing and residential care. These are benchmarks, not an advertised salary. Check guaranteed hours, shift patterns and benefits before accepting an offer.
