Ortopedia

Mueva pacientes por la cadena quirúrgica con mayor velocidad.

Las consultas ortopédicas se ganan o pierden por el volumen de casos quirúrgicos y el margen de DME. Nuestros asistentes médicos virtuales de ortopedia gestionan toda la cadena quirúrgica: desde la programación inicial de consultas y autorizaciones previas para MRI/Rayos X, hasta evaluaciones preoperatorias, programación de cirugías con hospitales y ASCs, pedidos de DME, derivaciones a fisioterapia y contactos postoperatorios. Capacitados en flujos de workers' comp, lesiones personales y comerciales, nuestro personal remoto de ortopedia mantiene su bloque de quirófano lleno y a sus pacientes posoperatorios apegados al plan.

The Hybrid Staffing Model

Keep clinical care onsite. Move administration virtual.

The fastest-growing orthopedic practices in California don't replace their onsite team, they augment it. Patient-facing roles stay in clinic. Administrative roles move to a dedicated virtual team trained on your EHR and payers.

Stays Onsite

Hands-on clinical and patient-facing roles where physical presence drives outcomes.

  • Front-desk receptionist & patient greeter
  • Medical assistants (MAs) & rooming staff
  • Nursing (RNs, LPNs)
  • Cast techs, X-ray techs, and DME fitters
  • Injection & procedure clinical support

Moves Virtual

Administrative work that lives inside your EHR and payer portals, the highest-cost, highest-turnover roles.

  • Scheduling & surgical coordination
  • Prior authorization (imaging, surgery, DME)
  • Insurance verification & workers' comp
  • Billing, coding & denials management
  • Care coordination & post-op outreach
Proof Point · Comprehensive Spine

The hybrid model in action: 1 VA grew to 30, saving $1.1M annually.

Comprehensive Spine kept their entire clinical team in-clinic and rebuilt scheduling, authorization, billing, and care coordination as virtual roles. Net margin improved from 62.4% to 70.8%, an additional $1M in net income, while the practice grew patient volume.
