Role Overview

GoLean Healthcare is seeking a highly professional, adaptable, and proactive Virtual Medical Assistant (VA) to support the client's expanding practice.

The ideal candidate will be a clear communicator who can manage patient intake, logistics, and multi-task effectively to improve clinical efficiency and satisfy patient needs.

Client Profile & Practice Insights

• Growth Outlook: The practice is currently expanding, which includes opening a new clinic location and onboarding an additional Nurse Practitioner (NP).
• Primary Goal: Client wants to increase overall operational efficiency, keep front-desk scheduling consistent, and lower long phone wait times to improve patient satisfaction.

Key Responsibilities & Tasks

The Virtual Assistant will handle essential front-office administrative functions, relieving the in-clinic staff of heavy phone volumes and basic documentation.

1. Patient Communication & Intake

• Answer inbound calls and manage standard routing through the phone tree.

2. Appointment & Schedule Management

• Schedule patient visits with accuracy according to specific physician and practitioner preferences.
• Execute standard reminder sequences to maximize daily show-rates and minimize "no-shows."

3. Medical Insurance & Approvals

• Submit and track prior authorizations, specifically focusing on medications and prescriptions.

4. Electronic Health Record (EHR) Duties

• Information Verification: Confirm or update address, phone number, email, and the patient's listed Primary Care Physician (PCP) or referring doctor upon opening any patient chart.
• Document designated administrative notes within specific sections of the charts as directed during onboarding.
• Note: This role does not require live medical scribing.

5. Team Coordination & Messaging

• Triage clinical and admin messages appropriately to make sure they reach the right in-clinic staff member depending on the scenario.

6. Daily Reporting

• Submit an End-of-Day (EOD) productivity report detailing tasks accomplished, outstanding files, and follow-ups required for the next business day.
