There are other ways virtual assistants can help. Some people hire them strictly as personal assistants to do things like making appointments, arranging for travel, and even picking out and sending gifts to loved ones.
A virtual healthcare assistant can work remotely and integrate seamlessly into your system to assist you with your daily tasks like managing the office.
Make a list of all the administrative tasks that you can delegate to open up a huge block of time in your day. These tasks typically include – patient intake and referrals, scheduling appointments, data management, correspondence, prescription refills, and more.
You can find virtual assistants with experience in data entry for Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and Electronic Health Records (EHR). With encrypted video conferencing apps, you can have your virtual assistant chart information in real-time.
A virtual assistant can manage your front office just like a conventional receptionist to answer the phone, transfer urgent calls, timely relay messages, screen spam calls, and respond to communications sent through texts, emails, or live chats.
Your virtual assistant can coordinate with patients’ insurance companies and eliminate the wait time by sending out claims immediately. Further, your virtual assistant can check the patient’s eligibility to authorize treatments in advance.
