Hiring virtual medical staff for a wound care / hyperbaric practice in North Carolina
Wound care centers and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2) programs live and die by prior authorization and documentation. HBO2 is strictly auth-gated and reimbursed by indication and treatment count, wound visits demand rigorous dressing, debridement, and measurement documentation for CMS compliance, and referral volume from hospitals and skilled nursing facilities is the lifeblood of the center. The administrative load is heavy: treatment authorization cycles, wound photography and measurement tracking, DME ordering for compression and offloading, referral intake, and the CMS documentation that protects every claim. Our wound care virtual medical assistants drive HBO2 and treatment authorizations, keep wound documentation airtight, order DME, capture hospital and SNF referrals, and keep the schedule full. Trained on Net Health WoundExpert, Intellicure, Tissue Analytics, and your EHR so they step into your team on day one. Onboarded in 48 hours, HIPAA compliant, and starting at $14/hour.
North Carolina has more than 35,000 active physicians, with hubs in Charlotte, the Triangle (Raleigh-Durham), and Greensboro. Demand spans family medicine, orthopedics, dermatology, and dental.
