Specialty
Telemedicine / Virtual-Only Practices
Multi-state scheduling, async charting, and refills across state lines.
Virtual-only and hybrid telemedicine practices operate across state lines, which reshapes every administrative workflow - multi-state patient scheduling tied to provider state-license verification, a mix of synchronous and asynchronous visits, platform onboarding and troubleshooting, intake and consent management at scale, prescription and refill coordination that must respect state-by-state rules, and insurance verification under post-PHE telehealth parity. Our telemedicine virtual medical assistants match patients to appropriately licensed providers, coordinate sync and async visits, onboard patients onto your platform, manage intake and consent, document async encounters as scribes, and keep refills and verifications compliant across states. Trained on Doxy.me, Zoom for Healthcare, Spruce, Healthie, and your EHR so they step into your team on day one. Onboarded in 48 hours, HIPAA compliant, and starting at $14/hour.

Which telemedicine / virtual-only practices 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 telemedicine / virtual-only practices practice.
A telemedicine insurance verification specialist runs eligibility and benefits for virtual visits under post-PHE telehealth parity rules - confirming that the patient's plan covers telehealth, in which states, and for which visit types (synchronous, audio-only, asynchronous), and documenting copays and patient responsibility before the visit. They track the patchwork of payer and state telehealth-coverage rules so the practice bills correctly and patients aren't surprised.
A telemedicine insurance verification specialist is a remote staff member who keeps a multi-state virtual practice compliant and paid under shifting telehealth parity rules, preventing coverage-driven denials.
A telemedicine medical scribe documents virtual encounters in your EHR - joining synchronous video and phone visits in real time to capture the HPI, exam, assessment and plan, and orders, and turning around asynchronous (store-and-forward) visits by drafting chart notes from patient-submitted questionnaires, photos, and messages. They close charts before the provider moves to the next patient and keep async queues from backing up.
Trained on telehealth documentation standards and the EHR your practice runs, a telemedicine scribe keeps both live and async charting current, accurate, and reimbursement-ready.
A telemedicine medical scribe is a remote staff member who removes the documentation burden from virtual care, letting providers see more patients and finish the day with a clean inbox.
A telemedicine patient intake coordinator owns the virtual front door - converting new-patient inquiries, confirming the patient's state of residence against provider licensure, collecting demographics and history, sending and tracking intake and consent forms, and walking patients through telehealth platform setup before the first visit. They make sure every new patient is matched to an appropriately licensed provider and arrives fully prepped so visits aren't lost to technical or paperwork gaps.
A telemedicine patient intake coordinator is a remote staff member who lifts new-patient conversion, prevents license-mismatch cancellations, and delivers a smooth first-visit experience that sets the tone for a virtual practice.
A telemedicine patient outreach coordinator runs proactive recall and reactivation across a distributed, multi-state patient base - patients due for follow-up or refills, no-shows from missed video visits, lapsed patients, and re-engagement of leads who never completed onboarding. They run multi-touch outreach by text, call, and email, re-confirm platform access ahead of visits, document every attempt, and report conversion to the practice.
A telemedicine patient outreach coordinator is a remote staff member who keeps a virtual schedule full, recovers missed visits, and turns a geographically scattered patient list into steady, recurring virtual care.
A telemedicine prior authorization specialist owns auths for the medications, labs, and services a virtual practice orders - submitting through CoverMyMeds, Surescripts, and payer portals, attaching documentation from the telehealth encounter, following up on status, working denials, and filing appeals. They navigate payer rules that can differ by the patient's state and keep the prescriber informed when an auth is approved, denied, or an alternative is needed.
A telemedicine prior authorization specialist is a dedicated remote staff member who keeps prescriptions and orders moving across a multi-state patient base, preventing treatment delays and protecting revenue.
A telemedicine virtual medical assistant runs the administrative backbone of a virtual-only or hybrid practice - matching patients to providers licensed in the patient's state, scheduling synchronous and asynchronous visits, onboarding patients onto the telehealth platform, managing intake and consent, and coordinating refills and follow-up across state lines. They work inside Doxy.me, Zoom for Healthcare, Spruce, Healthie, or your EHR exactly like an in-house coordinator.
Multi-state telemedicine adds layers a brick-and-mortar practice never faces - license matching, platform troubleshooting, and state-specific prescribing rules - and this role keeps all of it organized so visits start on time and nothing crosses a compliance line.
A telemedicine virtual medical assistant is the always-on administrative engine of a virtual practice, freeing providers to focus on patient care instead of platform and scheduling logistics.
