MD | HIPAA Virtual Medical Assistant | Prior Authorization Specialist
Struggling with clinician burnout, endless charting, and revenue-losing prior authorization delays? As an MD and HIPAA-Certified Virtual Medical Assistant with 3+ years of remote US healthcare experience, I bridge the gap between clinical excellence and back-office efficiency. Because I hold a Medical Degree, I don’t just enter data—I deeply understand clinical workflows, medical necessity, and how to interpret complex provider notes to keep your practice running seamlessly. I help private practices, clinics, and telehealth providers save 15+ hours a week by taking over: 🩺 CLINICAL & ADMIN SUPPORT • Virtual Medical Scribing & Charting (SOAP notes, Prepping Charts) • Patient Intake, Triage Coordination, and Calendar Management • Seamless Practice Management using EHR/EMR systems 📑 PRIOR AUTHORIZATION & BILLING • Bulletproof Prior Authorizations (Ensuring high first-pass approval rates) • Eligibility & Benefits Verification (Commercial, Medicare, Medicaid) • Medical Coding Accuracy (ICD-10, CPT, HCPCS) 💻 SYSTEM & EMR EXPERTISE: • EMR: Athenahealth, eClinicalWorks (eCW), Practice Fusion, AdvancedMD, CureMD • Payer Portals: Availity, NaviNet, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare • Auth Portals: Carelon, CoverMyMeds, AIM, RadMD WHY PROVDIERS CHOOSE AN MD AS THEIR VMA: Unlike general virtual assistants, I accurately interpret progress notes and doctor dictations without hand-holding.
