Patient Service Representative- Privia Imaging

We are a group of providers united by our clinically integrated, high-performance network and shared belief that physician autonomy is key to improving healthcare. As a physician-led medical group, we provide the tools, talent, and technology that enable you to improve patient care and your practice’s economic outcomes. We remove administrative work to help you transition to and thrive in value-based care so you can focus on patients, not paperwork and policy.

The Patient Service Representative is the primary point of contact for our patients, managing both in-person arrivals and a high volume of telephonic inquiries.
