Question 1

What does a Plastic Surgery Virtual Medical Assistant do for a plastic surgery practice?

Accepted Answer

A plastic surgery virtual medical assistant is a dedicated remote staff member who runs the daily admin workload of a plastic surgery practice — scheduling cosmetic and reconstructive consults, surgical bookings, post-op visits, and follow-up touches inside Nextech, PatientNow, ModMed, Symplast, or your reconstructive EHR. They route inbound inquiries from the website, social, and phone, qualify cosmetic leads, and book the consult in the warmth a high-touch aesthetic practice requires.

Question 2

What does a Consult Conversion Specialist do for a plastic surgery practice?

Accepted Answer

A plastic surgery consult conversion specialist runs the post-consult outreach that turns interested patients into booked surgical cases — same-day follow-up, financing options walk-through (CareCredit, PatientFi, Alphaeon), deposit collection, surgical date booking, and pre-op packet delivery. For aesthetic practices, consult-to-conversion rate is the single biggest driver of monthly OR revenue, and a dedicated conversion specialist routinely lifts conversion by 20–40%.

Question 3

What does a Surgical & OR Coordinator do for a plastic surgery practice?

Accepted Answer

A plastic surgery surgical and OR coordinator owns the surgical calendar across the in-office OR, ASC, and hospital partners — anesthesia clearance, medical clearance, lab work, photography, pre-op packet, and the day-of-surgery patient list. They reconcile cases with the ASC and hospital, coordinate with anesthesia, and run pre-op call outreach. For high-volume plastic surgery practices, this role keeps every OR day on time and full.

Question 4

What does a Reconstructive Insurance Verification Specialist do for a plastic surgery practice?

Accepted Answer

A plastic surgery reconstructive insurance verification specialist runs eligibility and benefits for reconstructive cases — breast reconstruction, post-mastectomy, post-Mohs reconstruction, hand surgery, and trauma reconstruction. They confirm benefits, secure prior authorization, document the packet for the surgical coordinator, and protect the reconstructive revenue line that funds many practices alongside their cosmetic book.

Question 5

What does a Reputation & Review Coordinator do for a plastic surgery practice?

Accepted Answer

A plastic surgery reputation and review coordinator runs review request outreach to every post-op patient at the right healing milestone, monitors Google, RealSelf, and Yelp reviews, drafts response copy for the surgeon's approval, and keeps the practice's online reputation in shape. For aesthetic practices where 78% of new patients check reviews before booking, this role directly drives new consult volume.

Question 6

What does a Front Desk / Patient Concierge do for a plastic surgery practice?

Accepted Answer

A plastic surgery virtual front desk and patient concierge runs the inbound phones and online inquiries, qualifies cosmetic leads, books consults, manages the cancellation waitlist, and handles new patient intake with the high-touch experience aesthetic patients expect. For a busy plastic surgery office, this role lifts both inbound conversion and the online reputation that drives new patient flow.

Question 7

Can a virtual assistant handle consult conversion outreach for a cosmetic practice?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our plastic surgery consult conversion specialists run same-day post-consult outreach, walk patients through financing (CareCredit, PatientFi, Alphaeon), collect deposits, and book the surgical date — typically lifting conversion by 20–40%.

Question 8

Do you support both cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery practices?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We place dedicated coordinators for both cosmetic OR scheduling and reconstructive insurance verification and prior auth — including breast reconstruction, hand surgery, and trauma cases.

Question 9

Which plastic surgery EHRs and CRMs are your virtual assistants trained on?

Accepted Answer

Nextech, PatientNow, Modernizing Medicine, Symplast, and the most common reconstructive EHRs on day one. Other practice management systems are trained before the placement's start date.
