How to Hire and Manage a Medical Virtual Assistant

Do you need help with your healthcare practice management? If so, consider a virtual assistant.

Hiring a medical virtual assistant is one of the most important decisions you can make for your practice. A good VA will help you get more done, improve your bottom line, and provide a better experience for your patients.

Here are some tips and tools to help you hire and manage a MVA:

  • Be sure you know what services you want them to provide. You don’t want to hire someone who will just be answering phones or doing scheduling—you need someone who can do more complex tasks like medical transcription or data entry.
  • Hire someone who has experience in the healthcare industry, at least experience working with patients, and is familiar with HIPAA laws and best practices for working with sensitive information. You want someone who understands what patients need and can empathize with their issues.
  • Ask questions during interviews about how they handle difficult situations, like high-maintenance clients or angry customers. A test project is a great way to help you make the final choice. It’s a great way to assess skills and learn how they handle situations.
  • Make sure you have a clear idea of what exactly you want your VA to do before you hire one, so they can hit the ground running with no confusion or miscommunication.
  • Give your VA guidance when they need it, but also trust that they are capable of handling a lot more than you give them credit for.
