Hiring virtual medical staff for a physical therapy practice in Texas
PT and OT practices lose revenue when authorizations lapse, plans of care expire, or recurring visits fall off the schedule. Our physical therapy virtual medical assistants manage authorization tracking with commercial, Medicare, and workers' comp payers, coordinate plan-of-care renewals and physician sign-off, schedule recurring 2x and 3x weekly visits, and run outcome reporting for FOTO and Medicare PQRS. Trained on WebPT, Raintree, Heno, and PromptEMR.
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 physical therapy roles we staff
Physical Therapy Virtual Assistant
A physical therapy virtual assistant is a dedicated remote staff member who runs the daily admin workload of a PT or OT clinic — scheduling new evaluations and recurring 2x or 3x weekly visits inside WebPT, Raintree, Heno, PromptEMR, or Jane App. They handle inbound calls, route portal and phone messages, manage the cancellation waitlist, coordinate physician sign-off on plans of care, and run the constant authorization tracking that defines outpatient PT.
Learn moreAuthorization & Plan-of-Care Coordinator
A PT authorization and plan-of-care coordinator owns visit authorization tracking from initial eval to discharge. They secure initial authorizations, track visit counts against the auth, request additional visits before the auth runs out, send the plan of care to the referring physician for signature, and re-cert the plan of care every 30, 60, or 90 days as required by Medicare and commercial payers.
Learn moreRecurring Visit Scheduler
A PT recurring visit scheduler books the recurring 2x or 3x weekly visit pattern that defines outpatient PT, manages rescheduling and cancellations, fills openings from the waitlist immediately, and runs no-show recovery the same day so patients don't fall off the plan of care.
Learn moreWorkers' Comp Coordinator
A PT workers' comp coordinator manages the unique workflow of work-injury patients in physical therapy — verifying claim numbers and adjuster information, securing every visit authorization through the workers' comp insurer or third-party administrator, drafting work status updates, communicating with the referring physician and employer, and ensuring documentation supports return-to-work decisions and the AMA Guides impairment rating.
