Aside from handling patients' administrative needs including appointment scheduling, billing and bookkeeping, and storing patient data, medical assistants can also assist doctors with medical operations, perform laboratory testing, and support patients during medical procedures. They also provide clinical support like taking vital signs, preparing patients for procedures, and administering medications. There is always work for them to do, whether it be seeing patients, keeping care of medical data, or handling their finances. Medical practitioners that use virtual administrative assistants are more effective and productive overall while saving time and money. Their responsibilities typically include appointment scheduling, medical record management, processing insurance forms, handling billing and coding, and conducting patient follow-up.
