Roles we staff
-
Lead Response & Consultation Coordinator
A wellness lead response coordinator owns speed-to-lead for integrative programs. They answer web form fills, Google leads, social messages, and missed calls within minutes, qualify the patient, answer program and pricing questions with your approved scripts, and book the consultation before the prospect cools off or books with a competitor.
They nurture leads that do not book on first contact with multi-touch text and email sequences, recover no-shows, and track conversion from inquiry to booked consult to enrolled program so you know exactly what your marketing is returning.
A wellness lead response and consultation coordinator is a dedicated remote staff member who turns ad spend and referrals into booked, high-intent consultations instead of unanswered messages.
-
Medical Receptionist / Front Desk
A wellness virtual receptionist answers inbound calls, returns voicemails, books and reschedules appointments, manages the cancellation waitlist, and greets patients with the warm, concierge tone an integrative practice depends on. They monitor the booking platform, confirm tomorrow's appointments, and keep the provider schedule full so no visit slot or IV chair sits idle.
For a wellness practice that runs on relationship and trust, this role cuts hold times to under 60 seconds, recovers same-day cancellations, and protects the reputation that drives referrals.
A wellness virtual front desk is a full-time, dedicated remote receptionist who runs the phones and the calendar of an integrative practice at a fraction of the cost of an in-house hire.
-
Membership & Billing Coordinator
A wellness membership and billing coordinator manages the recurring revenue engine of an integrative practice - enrolling patients in membership and program plans, processing monthly billing, tracking program and package balances, and resolving declined cards before they lapse.
They reconcile supplement and dispensary orders, apply deposits and gift cards correctly, and keep the cash-pay ledger clean across weight-loss, hormone, and IV-therapy programs.
A wellness membership and billing coordinator is a remote staff member who protects recurring revenue, prevents membership churn, and keeps the financial side of a cash-pay practice accurate and current.

Patient / Treatment Coordinator
A wellness treatment coordinator manages the journey from consultation to enrolled program - explaining the proposed protocol and pricing, presenting financing and membership options, answering objections, collecting deposits, and scheduling the full series of visits and lab draws up front so patients follow through.
They coordinate program onboarding, dosing schedules, and the renewal cadence for weight-loss, hormone, and IV-therapy programs, keeping retention high and lapsed members rare.
A wellness treatment coordinator is a remote staff member who lifts consult-to-enrollment conversion, removes financial friction, and protects the lifetime value of every member.
-
Patient Outreach & Reactivation Coordinator
A wellness patient outreach coordinator runs proactive recall and reactivation campaigns - patients due for a refill or lab recheck, lapsed program members, dormant patients who have not booked in 6+ months, and seasonal program promotions.
They segment the patient base by program and spend, run multi-touch outreach by text, call, and email, document every attempt in the practice software, and report conversion to the owner.
A wellness patient outreach and reactivation coordinator is a remote staff member who fills slow weeks, lifts renewal rates, and turns the existing patient list into a steadily growing book of recurring program revenue.
-
Prior Authorization Specialist
A wellness prior authorization specialist owns the prior auth lifecycle for the medical side of integrative care - GLP-1 weight-loss medications (semaglutide, tirzepatide), hormone replacement therapy, and other covered therapies that require payer approval. They submit through CoverMyMeds, Surescripts, and payer portals, attach clinical documentation and chart notes, follow up on status, work denials, and file appeals.
They know which plans cover medical weight loss and under what criteria, manage step-therapy requirements, and keep the patient and provider informed when an auth is approved, denied, or an alternative is required.
A wellness prior authorization specialist is a dedicated remote staff member who keeps weight-loss and hormone-therapy programs moving, prevents treatment delays, and protects the revenue tied to covered medical services.
-
Virtual Medical Assistant
A wellness virtual medical assistant runs the day-to-day administrative workload of an integrative or functional medicine practice - scheduling and confirming visits, prepping intake and health-history forms, coordinating labs and results, managing supplement and prescription refills, and following up with patients between appointments. They work inside Charm, Cerbo, Practice Better, Healthie, or your EHR exactly like an in-house coordinator.
For a practice running medical weight loss, hormone optimization, IV therapy, and functional medicine programs, this role keeps the calendar tight, the lab and refill loop closed, and the member experience consistent from enrollment through renewal.
A wellness virtual medical assistant is the always-on administrative backbone of an integrative practice, freeing providers to stay focused on patient care instead of chasing paperwork.
