Orthopedics Virtual Assistant for Surgery & Musculoskeletal Practices
A dedicated orthopedics virtual assistant handles surgical prior auths, imaging orders, DME documentation, and patient scheduling, so your orthopedic practice runs without the admin backlog.
Orthopedic practices carry some of the highest administrative overhead in medicine. Surgical prior authorizations, MRI and imaging orders, DME (braces, crutches, splints), post-op scheduling, and denial management all compete for your front desk's attention. A dedicated orthopedics virtual assistant from VA.care is clinically trained on orthopedic workflows, CPT code 27xxx/29xxx documentation, EHR scheduling in Epic and AthenaHealth, and payer-specific prior auth requirements, so your surgeons and PA-Cs spend their time on patient care, not paperwork.
Without VA.care vs. With Orthopedics Virtual Assistant
Without VA.care Medical VA
- •Surgical Prior AuthorizationsSurgical prior auths sit in a queue for days, delaying procedures and frustrating patients who are waiting in pain.
- •Imaging Orders & DocumentationMRI, CT, and X-ray orders pile up with incomplete documentation, forcing radiology to call back for clarification.
- •DME CoordinationBraces, crutches, and splints aren't ordered in time for surgery, creating patient delays and dissatisfaction.
- •Post-Op Scheduling & Follow-UpPost-op follow-up calls fall through the cracks, leading to missed complications and readmissions.
