Hey hey—quick question for my fellow healthcare pros out there: when was the last time you actually left work on time? Like, no charts waiting, no patient messages blowing up your inbox, no to-do list screaming for attention?

Yeah… that’s what I thought.

So, listen, I’ve been there. You go into healthcare to help people, right? But suddenly, you're juggling EMRs, insurance pre-auths, refill requests, follow-up calls, scheduling… it’s like, when did your job turn into admin central?

That’s why I wanna talk about something that’s honestly changing the game for clinics and private practices everywhere—medical virtual assistants.

Host:
Now, I know what you’re probably thinking—“Virtual assistants? Isn’t that like some random person in another country answering calls?”

Nope. Not these.

DocVA’s medical virtual assistants are trained professionals—most of them are actual registered nurses or folks with serious clinical admin experience. We're talkin’ about people who understand your workflows, know the terminology, and aren’t gonna mix up a prior auth with a progress note.

Host:
These VAs can handle a ton of stuff:
Patient intake, appointment reminders, referral coordination, insurance verification, EMR documentation, follow-up scheduling—the works.

So basically, all the stuff that eats up your time and takes you away from… well, actually being a provider.

Host:
One of the doctors I was chatting with—small family practice in Arizona—said hiring a DocVA medical virtual assistant gave them back 10 hours a week. Ten hours! That’s a full workday. They were finally able to start leaving by 5 PM and even picked up a hobby again. Can you imagine?

Host:
And the best part? You don’t have to train them from scratch. These VAs know the drill. They’re already used to tools like eClinicalWorks, Athenahealth, DrChrono—you name it.

Host:
So, yeah… if you’re drowning in admin, constantly behind on notes, and haven’t had a lunch break since 2021… maybe it’s time to let someone take some of that weight off your shoulders.

Here’s the deal: your time is too valuable to waste on busywork. You didn’t go to med school to fax referrals and chase lab results. You went to make a difference.

Host:
Let a DocVA medical virtual assistant help you do that.
