Virtual Assistant for Eye Care Practices & Optical Retailers
A dedicated eye care virtual assistant handles vision benefits, exam scheduling, contact lens orders, and frame dispensing coordination, clinically trained and HIPAA-compliant from $8/hour.
An eye care virtual assistant is a clinically-trained remote professional who handles the administrative workload specific to optometry, ophthalmology, and optical retail practices. From vision benefit verification and exam scheduling to contact lens ordering and frame dispensing coordination, an eye care VA keeps your practice running while your optometrists and opticians focus on patient care. VA.care eye care VAs are pre-trained on EHR and retail management systems, work from secure call center facilities with signed BAAs, and cost a fraction of in-house staffing.
