Performance and Responsibilities
The patient demand continues to increase and, thus, so does the operational process for each encounter. There is always an effort required to be done during the scheduling, verification, documentation, authorization and billing processes.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to hire in-house. In fact, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics is forecasting a 13 percent increase in employment for medical assistants between 2025 and 2035, with 109,700 openings each year. Practices are competing for the same limited pool of support staff. The advantage of having a medical virtual assistant is that she/he can take up all of the specific duties, leaving your existing office staff to focus on their jobs.

A medical virtual assistant for the doctor deals with all kinds of non-medical tasks remotely on a daily basis, such as appointment scheduling, insurance verification, prior authorization, record keeping, patient messaging and patient referral follow-up. The virtual assistant never gives any diagnosis or medical advice, so the doctors can make clinical decisions freely.
Definitely! Every assistant signs a business associate agreement, uses encryption systems, operates on a role-based access control, and takes regular HIPAA training classes. Always demand such protections be provided in writing by any provider you use before sending protected health information to your remote team members or vendors.
We pair assistants with your software such as Epic, Athena, E-Clinic Works, NextGen or other systems as well as your scheduling and billing system. Tell us about your software during the consultation, and we will determine our availability and schedule further training for your assistant as necessary.
Timing is based on your activities, the software and your specialization. Once the discovery call is completed, the suitable assistants are shortlisted, and after your approval of the selection, the process of onboarding begins.
