Medical Assistant (Remote) - Curai Health Medical Group

At Curai, we believe that access to high-quality healthcare is a fundamental human right, not a privilege. Our mission is to radically transform healthcare by harnessing the power of artificial intelligence and clinical expertise to make care more affordable, accessible, and effective for everyone.

Curai Health Medical Group is a fully virtual primary care practice. We use AI to help our clinicians deliver fast, high-quality care to patients in multiple states. Our care team works together entirely online, and our Medical Assistants are key to making sure every patient’s care moves forward without gaps.

About the Medical Assistant Role

This is a remote, non-hands-on Medical Assistant role. You won’t do vitals, draw blood, or room patients. You’ll use your Medical Assistant training to keep patient care moving behind the scenes: working with pharmacies, getting prior authorizations, coordinating referrals, and making sure patients get the follow-up they need. If you know the clinical side and are great at the administrative work that keeps it running, this role is for you.
