Patient Care Coordinator Virtual Assistant

This is a remote position.

Rockstar is hiring a full-time Medical Virtual Assistant on behalf of a group mental health practice looking to build out a dedicated existing-patient reception role.

This position is the clinic reception lead for existing patients only handling everything that isnt a new patient inquiry (that side is owned by a separate admissions coordinator). The VA will manage cancellations and rebooking help patients switch to telehealth resolve basic patient concerns and escalate when needed handle prior authorizations for the psychiatry team follow up on missed medication sessions route refill requests and manage records requests and provider letters (disability ESA school or work notes FMLA). The VA will also help launch a new patient satisfaction initiative from the ground up. Cross-training on basic billing and new patient onboarding will be provided for coverage purposes but this is explicitly not the core of the role.

Since this role supports a mental health patient population patience warmth and a calm professional phone presence matter as much as task execution. The client places a high value on coachability someone who takes feedback well and adjusts quickly since their internal culture treats willing but not yet able as a coaching opportunity while unwilling is treated very differently.
