Position Overview

We are seeking a highly capable Medical Virtual Assistant (MVA) to support the overall operational health of a busy healthcare clinic. This role is ideal for someone who is very sharp, proactive, detail-oriented, emotionally intelligent, and able to take ownership of important clinic workflows with minimal supervision.

This is not a basic task-following role. The ideal candidate must be able to think ahead, identify operational gaps, take initiative, and help remove administrative and billing-related tasks from the provider's plate.

We are looking for someone with excellent English communication skills, strong executive presence, high accountability, and the ability to build a trust-based working relationship with the provider and care team.

Key Responsibilities

• Insurance Verification: Verify patient insurance after the patient checks in, typically around 15 minutes after the scheduled appointment time. Ensure all insurance information is accurate, updated, and properly documented.


• Denied Claims Management: Review denied claims, identify denial reasons, and assist with claim reprocessing. Track issues, follow up on missing information, and help prevent repeat claim errors.


• EOB Processing: Review and process Explanation of Benefits documents. Help organize, validate, and clear EOB backlogs while ensuring billing and insurance documentation is accurate.


• Patient Balance Resolution: Review outstanding insurance balances and patient account issues. Track unresolved balances, identify the source of the issue, and coordinate next steps for resolution.


• Claims Processing: Support claims-related workflows, including Cigna and Veterans Affairs claims. Ensure claims are reviewed, tracked, and escalated when necessary.


• Payment Coordination: Assist with vendor payment coordination, including check payments when needed. Ensure payment-related tasks are completed accurately and on time.


• SOAP Note Monitoring: Monitor SOAP note completion, accuracy, and compliance. Track missing, incomplete, or delayed documentation and communicate concerns appropriately.


• Appointment Tracking: Track missed appointments, canceled appointments, and scheduling trends. Identify patterns that may affect clinic revenue, patient flow, or provider productivity.


• Reports and Operational Tracking: Prepare reports on outstanding balances, missed appointments, canceled appointments, EOB backlog, denied claims, and other operational metrics. Reports should include clear insights and practical recommendations when needed.


• Team Coordination: Support smooth communication between the provider, care team, and administrative staff. Help ensure updates are clearly shared, priorities are followed through, and important tasks are not missed.


• Operational Support: Proactively identify workflow gaps, billing concerns, documentation delays, scheduling issues, and patient account problems. Recommend practical solutions to improve clinic efficiency.
