Do your Medical Virtual Receptionists have a medical/healthcare background?
Yes, all of our Medical Virtual Receptionists are situated in the Philippines and are healthcare professionals. The majority are Registered Nurses with four years of clinical experience and a rigorous nursing education. They, therefore, contribute essential knowledge of healthcare terminology and processes to their professions.
What training do your Medical Virtual Receptionists have?
Each of our Medical Virtual Receptionists receives a comprehensive training program established by our company’s founder to familiarize them with EHR/EMR systems, HIPAA compliance, security regulations, and best-practice remote working methods. Obviously, this is in addition to their healthcare training and experience. Although the majority of our Medical Virtual Receptionists are Registered Nurses, a few hold other healthcare-related degrees.
You will need to train your Medical Virtual Receptionistss on the specific workflow to which they will be allocated in your office, just as you would train any new in-house employee with a good professional background.
How will hiring our Medical Virtual Receptionists improve my bottom line?
When you include in minimum wage, payroll taxes, and office space, our flat fee can save you up to 70% compared to the expense of an in-house employee. When you collaborate with MedVA’s Medical Virtual Receptionists, you will also avoid the major legal risk associated with hiring an employee in-house in certain states.
In addition, utilizing a virtual medical or dental receptionist to answer your phone lines ensures that potential patients who call your office will not switch to another provider because they were unable to reach you. Doctors that utilize our scribe/translation service will be able to visit more patients per day due to the time saved by not having to update their EHR/EMR.
What about HIPAA compliance and PHI security?
Our Medical Virtual Receptionists are all HIPAA-trained and HIPAA-certified. At the time of onboarding, our staff verifies that the computer hardware and anti-virus software comply with our requirements. Clients should have their Medical Virtual Receptionists sign Business Associate Agreements. Our organization is not required to sign a BAA because we do not have access to Patient Health Information.
Our Medical Virtual Receptionists are located in the Philippines (with the exception of Spanish-speaking virtual assistants who are located in South America and are available upon request), where a large number of the country’s citizens are employed by U.S. companies, particularly U.S.-based healthcare companies. US companies and US-based healthcare companies are important to the Philippine economy and a major employer in the Philippines, so the Philippine government has enacted strict laws prohibiting Philippine citizens from disclosing confidential information in order to make US companies feel secure conducting business there. In 2012, the Philippine government established the Data Privacy Act, which is comparable to the HIPAA statute in the United States. The Data Privacy Act of 2012 gives coverage protection to U.S. firms that employ Philippine labor, while harshly punishing Philippine nationals who knowingly expose Patient Health Information of U.S. entities.
Please see here for more information about the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
