The Medical Records Technician position is allocated to the West County Health Center in San Pablo to perform all aspects of Health Information Management functions specifically to maintain compliance and meet deadlines with the release of patient health information, patient identity activities and legal requirements. Duties and responsibilities include scanning documents and records for use in patient care and health decision making, responding to patient inquiries, civil and federal court subpoenas, and medical oversight boards; preparing and furnishing records for regulatory audits, and processing forms for benefits and services for medical providers.
