What a critical care prior authorization specialist does
A critical care prior authorization specialist owns the full prior auth lifecycle - submitting auths through CoverMyMeds, payer portals, and fax, attaching clinical documentation, calling for status, working denials, and filing peer-to-peer appeals. Trained on the imaging, procedures, medications, and DME categories that critical care practices most often need authorized.

Other critical care roles we staff
Build a complete remote team for your critical care practice.
Insurance Verification Specialist
A critical care insurance verification specialist runs eligibility and benefits 48-72 hours before every visit, confirms copays, deductibles, coinsurance, and visit-specific coverage with commercial, Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and Medicaid payers, and documents the breakdown in the EHR so the front desk can collect at check-in. They proactively work the no-coverage list and prevent eligibility-driven denials.
Learn moreMedical Receptionist / Front Desk
A critical care virtual medical receptionist answers your inbound lines, returns voicemails, books and reschedules appointments, manages the cancellation waitlist, and routes portal messages. They keep hold times under a minute, recover same-day cancellations, and deliver the front-desk experience patients expect from a top critical care practice.
Learn moreMedical Scribe
A critical care medical scribe joins each encounter in real time over secure audio or video and documents the visit directly in your EHR - HPI, exam, assessment and plan, orders, and follow-up - so the chart is closed before the patient leaves the room. Trained in critical care terminology, common diagnoses, and the documentation standards that drive your reimbursement.
Learn moreVirtual Medical Assistant
A critical care virtual medical assistant is a dedicated, full-time remote staff member trained on the EHRs, payer rules, and patient workflows that critical care practices rely on every day. They handle scheduling, intake, chart prep, message triage, refill routing, and patient follow-up so providers stay focused on direct patient care.
Learn moreWhat $14/hr really buys
What $14/hr includes by default
Other vendors quote a lower hourly rate, then bill these as add-ons. At Staffing For Doctors, the four things that actually drive clinical accuracy and accountability are bundled into the same $14/hr.
US-based account management
Every account has a US-based Customer Success Manager who owns escalations, weekly check-ins, and QA review — not a shared offshore inbox.
Specialty-matched pods
Your VA is trained inside a pod built around your specialty's EHR, payer mix, and workflows across 55+ specialties — not a generalist pulled from a healthcare queue.
Weekly QA scoring with client dashboard
Every placement is scored weekly against an accuracy and turnaround rubric, and you see those scores live in your dashboard — not a monthly summary email.
HIPAA infrastructure included
BAA, audited devices, AES-256 encryption, MFA, role-based access, and audit logs are part of every engagement at no extra charge — not a compliance package billed on top.
