Which neonatal roles can we staff virtually?
Tap any role to see exactly what they do, the EHRs and payers they know, and how they support a neonatal practice.
A neonatal 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.
A neonatal 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 neonatal practice.
A neonatal 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 neonatal terminology, common diagnoses, and the documentation standards that drive your reimbursement.
A neonatal 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 neonatal practices most often need authorized.
A neonatal virtual medical assistant is a dedicated, full-time remote staff member trained on the EHRs, payer rules, and patient workflows that neonatal 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.
