Hiring virtual medical staff for a concierge medicine / direct primary care practice in Tennessee
Concierge and direct primary care (DPC) practices run on a cash-pay membership model instead of insurance billing - and the work that protects revenue is membership enrollment and renewal, high-touch administrative service, same-day and next-day scheduling, and proactive panel management that keeps every member engaged. With no claims, eligibility, or denial workflows to absorb the team, the bar for responsiveness and relationship is far higher than a traditional practice. Our concierge and DPC virtual medical assistants enroll and renew members, run the high-touch front desk, protect same-day access, and manage the panel so no member slips through the cracks. Trained on Hint, Elation, AthenaHealth, Spruce, and your EHR so they step into your team on day one. Onboarded in 48 hours, HIPAA compliant, and starting at $14/hour.
Tennessee has more than 20,000 active physicians, with major hubs in Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, and Chattanooga and a heavy concentration of physician-owned independent practices. Strong demand from primary care, orthopedics, cardiology, and dental groups across the state.

Membership Enrollment & Renewal Coordinator
A concierge and DPC membership enrollment and renewal coordinator owns the recurring-revenue engine of a cash-pay practice - enrolling new members, processing monthly and annual membership billing, tracking renewals, and resolving declined cards before a membership lapses. They explain membership tiers and pricing to prospects, complete enrollment during or after the discovery visit, and reconcile the cash-pay ledger so revenue stays clean.
