Frequently Asked Questions
We’re here to help. Find answers to how Medical Virtual Assistants can ease your workload, reduce costs, and improve your practice’s efficiency.
What is a Medical Virtual Asistant (MVA)?
A Medical Virtual Assistant (MVA) is a highly trained professional who provides remote administrative and operational support to medical practices. They specialize in tasks such as appointment scheduling, patient communication, insurance verification, billing, data entry, and other essential back-office duties.
Our MVAs are HIPAA-compliant, ensuring the highest standards of patient privacy and confidentiality. They integrate seamlessly into your practice, helping to reduce administrative burdens, improve efficiency, and allow your team to focus on delivering exceptional patient care.
Do you offer part-time availability?
We currently only offer full-time availability (40 hours/week) for our dedicated Medical Virtual Assistants.
What tasks can a Medical Virtual Assistant manage for my practice?
Medical Virtual Assistants can help with a variety of administrative tasks to lower your costs and save you more time.
This includes prior authorizations, insurance verifications, front desk triage, calendar management and scheduling, database management, and so much more.
If it’s done on the phone or a computer, there is a good chance our Medical VAs can handle it for you.
How can a Medical Virtual Assistant reduce costs and increase efficiency?
A Medical Virtual Assistant (MVA) helps practices reduce costs by decreasing payroll expenses, eliminating the need for extra office space and equipment, and lowering staffing and training costs.
With MVAs handling administrative tasks like scheduling, insurance verifications, and patient follow-ups, efficiency improves as in-office staff can focus on patient care. This reduces wait times, minimizes no-shows, and enhances overall workflow.
Plus, MVAs provide flexible, scalable support at a fraction of the cost of in-house staff—all while ensuring 100% HIPAA compliance.
How are your MVAs trained for HIPAA compliance?
Our Medical Virtual Assistants undergo rigorous training to ensure full compliance with HIPAA regulations. This includes in-depth education on patient privacy, data security, and handling protected health information (PHI) securely.
We also conduct regular compliance audits, refresher courses, and performance evaluations to maintain the highest standards. Additionally, our IT systems are designed to safeguard PHI, ensuring a secure and compliant environment for all interactions.
With these measures in place, you can trust that your patients’ sensitive information is handled with the utmost care and confidentiality.
