Role Description
We’re hiring a dedicated Virtual Assistant to support a healthcare practice’s day-to-day administrative operations. This is a long term, client-facing placement. The VA will work closely with the practice’s front desk team and be the primary point of contact for phone, inbox, and scheduling coordination during their shift.
Core Responsibilities, In Detail
-
Phone coverage:
-
Answer incoming calls during all scheduled hours in a professional, patient facing manner.
-
Take messages and route to the correct staff member when a call can’t be resolved directly.
-
Use OpenPhone (VoIP phone system) for all call handling.
-
Inbox management:
-
Monitor the practice’s central patient coordination inbox continuously throughout the shift.
-
Triage incoming messages by urgency and topic (scheduling, billing, general inquiry, etc.).
-
Route non-routine messages to the appropriate staff member rather than responding directly.
-
Monitor the general practice email inbox for administrative correspondence separate from the patient coordination inbox.
-
Fax handling:
-
Check for incoming faxes and sort by type (referrals, records requests, insurance correspondence, etc.).
-
Distribute to the correct staff member or file according to practice procedure.
-
Scheduling and rescheduling:
-
Process patient rescheduling requests as they come in via phone or inbox.
-
Coordinate with front desk staff to confirm availability before finalizing changes.
-
Follow the practice’s scheduling system conventions (VA will be trained on Charm EHR scheduling workflow during onboarding).
-
Communication and documentation:
-
Communicate daily with the practice’s admin team via Slack, including status updates and escalations.
-
Maintain and update SOP documentation for the role’s recurring tasks, so responsibilities transfer cleanly during time off or hand off.
-
Flag recurring issues or bottlenecks to the point of contact rather than solving silently.
Qualifications
-
Active HIPAA Certification (or willingness to obtain prior to start).

Comfortable managing multiple channels (phone, inbox, fax, chat) without dropping tasks.
-
Reliable, quiet home office setup with strong internet bandwidth.
-
Available for the full 32 hour weekly schedule listed above, consistently.
Requirements
-
Internet speed: Minimum 50 Mbps upload and download (wired connection strongly preferred).
