Gastroenterology Virtual Office Assistance services are in high demand nowadays. The main reason for its increasing popularity is a financial one. Rising staffing costs have been making it difficult for independent Gastroenterology practices to maintain in-house admin teams for non-clinical functions. As a result, a number of physicians are spending an average of 2-3 hours every day to complete these tasks themselves.
Under these circumstances, outsourcing non-clinical and back-office processes to a competent and knowledgeable Gastroenterology Virtual Office Assistance provider to manage a practice’s administrative workload, has emerged as a cost-efficient alternative.
Employing a virtual workforce comes with many benefits. Healthcare virtual assistants enable a GI practice to:
- Free up more time to attend to patients by reducing the administrative and practice management burden on core medical personnel
- Reduce overhead costs by at least 50% by eliminating the necessity for additional office space, equipment, etc.
- Improve operational efficiency by having dedicated and fully trained virtual assistants working as a seamless extension to your practice management
- Boost productivity by 2x through uninterrupted and dependable remote support around the clock, ensuring no calls go unattended or no patient remains unattended
Other Benefits of Virtual Assistance for Healthcare Practices
One of the chief benefits of using the Virtual Assistance model for a health care business is the savings it brings in operational expenses. Did you know…
- A 2020 JAMA study reported, “Healthcare virtual assistants can potentially save up to $22,000 per physician every year”?
- A study published in Telemedicine and e-Health, in 2021, reported “delegating non-clinical duties to a VMA can save an average of $15,000 per physician every year.”
Why Gastroenterologists Need Specialized Virtual Office Assistant Companies?
Due to the high volume of patients that Gastroenterologists see on an average, there’s usually a huge list of admin tasks that need to be completed accurately and timely on a daily basis. Inaccuracies or delays in completing these tasks can result in claim denials, extension of reimbursement cycles, and an increase in waiting time for patients.
A less-than-efficient office assistance environment invariably reveals its cracks including missed appointments, faulty schedules, extended hours – resulting in patient dissatisfaction and ultimately, loss of revenue.
Although putting together a dedicated in-house team can resolve many of the problems described above, maintaining it may be a costly proposition. With rising minimum wages and a general scarcity of skilled assistants, not to mention investing in extra office space, equipment and software, healthcare practices are always considering more economical, yet effective, alternatives.
To get around these challenges, physicians including Gastroenterologists have been leveraging Virtual Medical Assistant (VMA) as well as Virtual Office Assistant (VA) services to bring down cost, improve efficiency of their practice and ensure better patient satisfaction.
