Reclaim Your Time with a Virtual Medical Assistant

In this very first episode of the DocVA Podcast, host Nathan Barz—Founder and CEO of DocVA—dives into a powerful solution that’s transforming medical practices across North America: the Virtual Medical Assistant.

Doctors everywhere are overwhelmed by endless administrative tasks. From managing medical records and patient phone calls to verifying insurance and handling scheduling, these responsibilities pull valuable time away from what truly matters—caring for patients. The burden only grows as practices scale, but hiring more staff means more costs, more training, and more headaches.

That’s where Virtual Medical Assistants come in.

Nathan introduces listeners to the world of virtual medical assistants and explains how these highly trained remote professionals are helping healthcare providers streamline operations, reduce costs, and reclaim their time. Unlike traditional in-office hires, a virtual medical assistant can manage everything from appointment setting to insurance claims—without the overhead of full-time salaries or office space. Best of all, practices only pay for hours worked, making this a cost-effective and flexible staffing solution.

Whether you're a solo practitioner or part of a growing medical group, implementing a virtual medical assistant can:

• Increase office efficiency and reduce burnout
• Improve accuracy and turnaround times for admin tasks
• Enhance patient satisfaction with smoother front office operations
• Free up in-house staff to focus on patient care
• Give providers more time to grow their business—or take a well-earned break

With patient volume rising and staffing challenges growing post-pandemic, more practices are turning to virtual medical assistants as a smart alternative. Nathan breaks down the benefits, dispels the myths, and shares how DocVA has helped hundreds of practices save millions annually while boosting their quality of care.

If you’re tired of juggling admin work and want to get back to what you love—treating patients—this episode is for you.

Hi, I’m Nathan Barz, Founder and CEO of DocVA and welcome to our podcast.

Let’s talk about something every doctor can relate to: the never-ending administrative tasks that take time away from your patients. 

It’s frustrating, right? You’ve got medical records to update, patient calls to manage, insurance claims to process, and appointment schedules to juggle. All these tasks add up, and they leave you with less time to focus on what really matters—providing care to your patients.

As practices grow and patient volumes increase, this burden only becomes heavier. Hiring more staff seems like a solution, but that comes with high costs and additional management challenges. Even if you do find someone qualified, training them takes time, and then there’s the ongoing cost of salaries, benefits, and more. You’re caught in a cycle of trying to maintain efficiency without burning out your team—or yourself.

But what if I told you there’s a better way? 

What if you could delegate those repetitive, time-consuming administrative tasks without adding more overhead or strain to your practice? 

That’s exactly where a Virtual Medical Assistant comes in.

A Virtual Medical Assistant is a remote professional trained to handle those very administrative tasks you struggle with. From scheduling patient appointments, answering calls, managing records, to verifying insurance and billing, a Virtual Medical Assistant can handle it all. 

This means your in-house team is free to focus on more critical tasks—like patient care.

And the best part? 

It’s cost-effective. 

You don’t need to hire additional full-time staff. Your Virtual Medical Assistant works remotely, meaning you don’t have to worry about office space, salaries, or the logistical headaches that come with onboarding new team members. 

You only pay for the hours worked, which is far more economical than a traditional hire.

A Virtual Medical Assistant can also boost your practice’s efficiency. They’re trained to handle tasks quickly and accurately, reducing the chance of errors that can result in costly delays. 

You’ll see faster turnaround times on tasks like patient scheduling and insurance verification, and your office will run more smoothly overall. 

This not only increases productivity but also helps improve patient satisfaction. A smoother, faster experience for patients often translates to higher retention rates and positive reviews.

At the end of the day, the goal is simple: reclaim your time. 

Time that would otherwise be spent on administrative tasks can now be directed toward seeing more patients, growing your practice, or even taking time off to recharge. You’ll experience reduced stress and an improved work-life balance—something that’s hard to achieve in today’s fast-paced medical world.

So, if you’re tired of getting bogged down by administrative work, a Virtual Medical Assistant could be exactly what you need.
