What a wellness / integrative medicine prior authorization specialist does
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.

Build a complete remote team for your wellness / integrative medicine practice.
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.
Learn moreMedical 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.
Learn moreMembership & 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.
Learn morePatient / 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.
Learn morePatient 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.
Learn moreVirtual 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.
Learn moreWhat $14/hr really buys
What $14/hr includes by default
Other vendors quote a lower hourly rate, then bill these as add-ons. At Staffing For Doctors, the four things that actually drive clinical accuracy and accountability are bundled into the same $14/hr.
US-based account management
Every account has a US-based Customer Success Manager who owns escalations, weekly check-ins, and QA review — not a shared offshore inbox.
Specialty-matched pods
Your VA is trained inside a pod built around your specialty's EHR, payer mix, and workflows across 55+ specialties — not a generalist pulled from a healthcare queue.
Weekly QA scoring with client dashboard
Every placement is scored weekly against an accuracy and turnaround rubric, and you see those scores live in your dashboard — not a monthly summary email.
HIPAA infrastructure included
BAA, audited devices, AES-256 encryption, MFA, role-based access, and audit logs are part of every engagement at no extra charge — not a compliance package billed on top.
