Compliance and licensing notes for New York practices

“Our Manhattan GI practice was losing hours a day to prior auth phone trees. Two Staffing For Doctors specialists cut our authorization turnaround from 8 days to under 48 hours and put our nurses back on the floor.”

New York telemedicine / virtual-only practices roles we staff
Insurance Verification Specialist
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.
Learn moreMedical Scribe
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.
Learn morePatient Intake Coordinator
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.
Learn moreTelemedicine Virtual Medical Assistant
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.
