Hiring virtual medical staff for a cardiology practice in Texas
Cardiology practices need staff who understand stress tests, echo, cath lab scheduling, device monitoring (Medtronic, Boston Scientific, Abbott, Biotronik), and the complex prior authorization landscape for advanced imaging. Our cardiology-trained virtual medical assistants handle pre-procedure prep, remote device clinic follow-ups, prior auths for cardiac CT, MRI, and PET, AICD/pacemaker check coordination, and complex referral workflows with primary care and electrophysiology. Live in your EHR within 48 hours.
Texas has more than 60,000 active physicians and one of the fastest-growing healthcare markets in the country, with major hubs in Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, and San Antonio. Strong demand from independent primary care, dental, orthopedic, OB-GYN, and dermatology practices across the state.
Texas cardiology roles we staff
Cardiology Virtual Medical Assistant
A cardiology virtual medical assistant is a dedicated remote staff member who lives inside Epic Cardiology, Athena, eClinicalWorks, NextGen, or a cardiology-specific EMR like Pinnacle, and runs the daily admin workload of a cardiology practice. They handle scheduling for office visits, echos, stress tests, holter monitors, and cath lab cases, manage intake and pre-visit chart prep, route portal and phone messages, and coordinate refills for cardiac medications.
Learn morePrior Authorization Specialist
A cardiology prior authorization specialist owns prior auths for the high-cost services cardiology routinely orders — cardiac MRI, cardiac CT angiography, PET stress, nuclear stress, TEE, ablation, AICD/pacemaker implants, Watchman, and brand cardiac medications (PCSK9 inhibitors, Entresto, Vericiguat, SGLT2s). They submit through eviCore, Carelon, NIA, payer portals, and CoverMyMeds, attach the required clinical documentation (most-recent echo, stress, ECG), and chase status until resolution.
Learn moreDevice Monitor Coordinator (Pacemaker/ICD)
A cardiology device monitor coordinator runs the remote device clinic — managing pacemaker, AICD, CRT, and loop recorder transmissions across Medtronic CareLink, Boston Scientific LATITUDE, Abbott Merlin, and Biotronik Home Monitoring. They reconcile scheduled and alert transmissions, prepare device interrogation reports for provider review, document the encounter in the EHR with correct device CPT codes (93294, 93296, 93297, etc.), and recall patients who miss their scheduled remote check.
Learn moreCath Lab & Procedure Scheduler
A cardiology cath lab and procedure scheduler coordinates every catheterization, PCI, EP study, ablation, and structural heart case — booking the hospital or ASC block time, confirming pre-op clearance and labs, securing prior authorizations, sending pre-op instructions to the patient, and arranging same-day post-procedure follow-up. They live in the hospital scheduling portal and the practice EHR, and they speak fluently with the cath lab charge nurse, anesthesia, and the device rep when needed.
