Orthopedic Virtual Assistant for Surgery & Musculoskeletal Care
A dedicated orthopedic virtual assistant manages surgical prior auths, imaging orders, DME documentation, and patient scheduling — clinically trained and HIPAA-compliant from $8/hour.
An orthopedic virtual assistant is a clinically-trained remote professional who handles the administrative workload specific to orthopedic and musculoskeletal practices. From surgical prior authorizations and imaging order coordination to DME documentation and post-op scheduling, an orthopedic VA keeps your practice running while your surgeons and PA-Cs focus on patient care. VA.care orthopedic VAs are pre-trained on Epic, AthenaHealth, and Cerner, work from secure call center facilities with signed BAAs, and cost a fraction of in-house staffing.
Without VA.care vs. With Orthopedic Virtual Assistant
Without VA.care Medical VA
- •Surgical Workflow SupportYour front desk drowns in surgical prior auths, imaging orders, and DME paperwork while patients wait in pain for approval.
- •EHR DocumentationOrthopedic charts fall behind because general VAs can't navigate surgical documentation or understand CPT 27xxx/29xxx coding.
- •Patient CommunicationPatients call about surgery scheduling, post-op instructions, and DME orders and get voicemail or a rushed front desk.
- •Cost & ScalabilityIn-house orthopedic admin staff cost $20–$30/hour plus benefits, equipment, and coverage gaps.
