Ohio internal medicine roles we staff
Virtual Medical Assistant
An internal medicine virtual medical assistant supports the complex adult care workflow of an internist by managing scheduling, intake for new and follow-up patients, chart pre-visit prep, message triage, refill routing, and patient phone calls — all inside Athena, Epic, eClinicalWorks, NextGen, or Practice Fusion. They prioritize the panel by acuity, ensuring high-risk patients with multiple comorbidities are not lost in the inbox.
Learn moreMedical Scribe
An internal medicine medical scribe joins each adult patient encounter live over secure audio or video and documents the entire visit into the EHR — detailed HPI, comprehensive ROS, exam, assessment with differential reasoning, and a problem-based plan — so notes are closed in the room. Scribes are trained in the long, layered visits internal medicine demands: medication reconciliation across 8–15 drugs, comorbidity management, and follow-up of multiple specialist recommendations.
Learn morePrior Authorization Specialist
An internal medicine prior authorization specialist owns prior auths for advanced imaging (cardiac MRI, PET, CT angiography), brand and biologic medications (GLP-1s, SGLT2s, PCSK9 inhibitors, biologics for IBD and rheumatology), DME, and Medicare Advantage specialist referrals. They submit through CoverMyMeds, Surescripts, and payer portals, attach required clinical documentation, follow up on status, work denials, and file peer-to-peer appeals.
Learn moreChronic Care Management (CCM) Specialist
An internal medicine CCM specialist runs the monthly Medicare Chronic Care Management program (CPT 99490, 99439, 99487, 99489) for the practice's qualifying adult patients with two or more chronic conditions — diabetes, CHF, COPD, CKD, atrial fibrillation, and beyond. Each month they call enrolled patients, reconcile medications, screen for new symptoms or care barriers, update the comprehensive care plan in the EHR, and document the 20+ minutes of non-face-to-face care needed to bill the codes.
