Dedicated Medical Virtual Assistants

A trained administrative team member who learns your workflow and takes routine tasks off your front desk.

Overview

How we support your practice

Front-office staff spend much of the day on tasks that are necessary but repetitive: calls, reminders, benefit checks and referral paperwork. A dedicated virtual assistant takes on a defined set of these tasks.

The same person works with your team over time, so they learn your scheduling rules, your providers' preferences and the way your practice communicates.

Best suited for

  • Practices whose front desk is stretched thin
  • Providers who want to add capacity without a full in-house hire
  • Offices with heavy prior authorization or eligibility workloads
  • Growing practices that need consistent administrative coverage

Insurance eligibility and benefits checks

Requests are prepared, submitted and tracked until a decision is received.

Referral coordination

Incoming and outgoing referrals are logged and followed up.

Inbox and task management

Routine messages and tasks are sorted, handled or routed to the right person.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a real person or software?

A real person. Care Tribune assistants are trained team members who work in your systems.

Can the assistant call patients?

Calls can be included depending on your policies and the scope you agree on.

Which systems can they use?

We work with common practice management and EHR platforms. Tell us which one you use.

How do you protect patient data?

Access is limited to what the role needs, and work involving protected health information is covered by a Business Associate Agreement.

Related services

Care Tribune does not guarantee payer approvals, reimbursement amounts or search rankings. Results depend on payers, documentation and your practice's circumstances.

Designed around your practice

Give patients a responsive front desk

Medical virtual assistant support starts at $500 per month. Hours, coverage, workload and assigned responsibilities are defined in your proposal.

Calls and scheduling with your rules

Your assistant uses approved scripts, verifies scheduling requirements and follows your availability, cancellation and escalation policies. We define live coverage hours and the process for messages outside those hours.

A more organized patient intake

We follow up on incomplete intake forms, coordinate administrative records and flag missing information before appointments. Insurance verification and referral coordination can be included based on your scope.

Prior authorizations and provider messages

Administrative support can include gathering payer requirements, tracking submission status and routing requests to the provider. Your clinical team makes medical decisions and supplies clinical justification when needed.

A dependable handoff each day

Agree on a shared task list, unresolved-item log and escalation contact. You can see what was scheduled, which messages need review and which payer or patient requests remain open.

Designed around your practice

What onboarding looks like

1. Share your priorities

Tell us your specialty, provider count, software, expected volume and the work you want to hand off. Use the consultation for business information; do not send patient records.

2. Review a written scope

Confirm responsibilities, pricing, coverage, reporting and exclusions. Identify a practice contact for approvals and a plan for any existing backlog.

3. Start with a clear handoff

Agree on secure access and any required agreements before work starts. Review the first task queue together and set a regular time to discuss open items.

Designed around your practice

A question to consider before you start

Does an assistant provide clinical advice?

No. Assistants follow approved administrative scripts and route medication, symptom, safety and treatment questions to your designated clinical team.
