Virtual Medical Assistants
A virtual medical assistant for your dental practice can handle many important tasks. For instance, they can serve as a virtual receptionist, helping you manage appointments and scheduling. This is especially important because up to 30% of incoming calls may go unanswered. In addition, a virtual assistant can help confirm appointments with patients who haven’t responded, manage billing collections and reports, and help you follow up on insurance claims that are still outstanding. By hiring a virtual medical assistant, you can delegate lower-level administrative tasks to free up your and your staff’s time to focus on core responsibilities. A virtual medical assistant is flexible, which means you can scale up or down as your needs change, cost-effectively. Virtual assistants are more cost-effective than traditional employees when you factor in office-related expenses such as rent, utilities, insurance, equipment, salaries, and benefits.
