Virtual Assistant for Orthopedic Practices & Surgery Centers

A virtual assistant for orthopedic practices handles surgical prior auths, imaging orders, DME documentation, and EHR scheduling — clinically trained and HIPAA-compliant from $8/hour.

Learn How It Works
Orthopedic Practice Virtual Assistant Workflow Optimization

Orthopedic practices need more than a general administrative VA. They need someone who understands surgical prior authorization requirements, imaging order workflows, DME documentation with HCPCS coding, and the payer-specific rules that determine whether a surgical claim gets paid. A virtual assistant for orthopedic practices from VA.care is clinically trained on these workflows, pre-trained on Epic and AthenaHealth, and works from HIPAA-compliant call center facilities with signed BAAs — at a fraction of the cost of in-house staffing.

    Orthopedic EHR ExpertiseGeneral VAs can't navigate orthopedic EHR workflows or understand surgical scheduling requirements.
  • •
    Cost & ComplianceIn-house orthopedic admin staff cost $20–$30/hour plus benefits, and freelance VAs create HIPAA liability with no BAA.
