What are remote virtual medical assistants?

Remote virtual medical assistants are professionals who provide administrative and clinical support to healthcare providers from a remote location, often using digital tools and telecommunication. They handle tasks such as scheduling appointments, managing patient records, billing, insurance verification, and sometimes basic patient communication. By working remotely, they help medical practices improve efficiency, reduce costs, and maintain smooth operations without needing to be physically present in the office.

How does a Remote Virtual Medical Assistant typically interact with healthcare providers and patients while working offsite?

Remote Virtual Medical Assistants (VMAs) primarily communicate with healthcare providers and patients through secure digital platforms, such as electronic health record (EHR) systems, video calls, and secure messaging. Their daily tasks often include scheduling appointments, managing patient records, handling insurance verifications, and following up with patients for routine check-ins. Collaboration is key: VMAs work closely with physicians, nurses, and office staff to ensure seamless workflow and accurate information exchange. Strong communication skills and familiarity with telehealth protocols help VMAs overcome the challenges of remote work and maintain high-quality patient support.

Job description

Role Summary


At Sterling Urgent Care, a seamless patient experience begins before a provider ever
enters the room. As a Virtual Medical Receptionist (Welcomer), you will be the face
and voice of our clinics, greeting patients virtually through our innovative WelcomeWare
kiosk platform.


Leveraging your background in high-volume customer service or call centers, you will
manage patient check-ins, capture critical demographic and insurance data, and handle
front-end registration across multiple clinic locations. Operating in a 12-hour shift
structure, you will ensure every patient feels welcomed, supported, and processed with
the highest degree of data accuracy to support our downstream billing teams.

Key Responsibilities

  • Virtual Patient Greeting and Check-in: Professionally greet, guide, and check in
    patients virtually across multiple Sterling Urgent Care clinics using the
    WelcomeWare platform.
  • Accurate Data Intake and Registration: Utilize eClinicalWorks (eCW) to
    accurately input patient demographics, take high-quality scans/photos of
    insurance cards, and enter front-end billing details.
  • Point-of-Service Collections: Securely collect and log co-pays, self-pay fees,
    and outstanding balances through the virtual interface, adhering strictly to
    financial compliance protocols.
  • Insurance Verification Support: Verify patient insurance eligibility electronically
    within eCW and ensure all intake details are clean to prevent backend claim
    denials.
  • Schedule and Flow Optimization: Monitor real-time clinic capacity and patient
    flow, communicating effectively with on-site clinical teams to optimize provider
    schedules and reduce patient wait times.
  • Quality and Compliance Adherence: Maintain high performance against Quality
    Assurance (QA) standards, collaborating with the Lead Front-End RCC to review
    scorecards and refine workflows.

Qualifications and Requirements

  • Residency Requirement: Must reside in either Idaho, Utah, or Wyoming.
  • Experience: 1–2+ years of experience in a high-volume call center, customer
    service, or medical front-office environment. Experience working in a medical
    setting or with eClinicalWorks (eCW) is highly preferred, but strong technical
    adaptability is a must.
  • Technical Savvy: High comfort level working with dual screens, virtual
    communication hardware/software (WelcomeWare or similar kiosk systems), and
    electronic medical record (EMR) systems.
  • Communication Skills: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills;
    ability to project warmth, empathy, and professionalism through a digital screen.
  • Detail-Oriented and Fast: Ability to multitask and maintain extreme accuracy in
    data entry while managing a steady flow of patient check-ins.
  • Shift Flexibility: Ability to work standard urgent care hours, including 12-hour
    shifts and rotating weekends/holidays.

Remote Work Requirements (If Applicable)

To be eligible for remote work, you must provide a dedicated workspace that meets the
following criteria:

  • A quiet, private room with a closing door, completely free of background noise
    and distractions (to ensure strict HIPAA compliance).
  • High-speed, reliable internet connection capable of supporting continuous video
    streaming.
  • Professional, neutral background suitable for patient-facing video interactions.
  • Note: Candidates whose home environments do not meet these criteria will be
    stationed full-time inside a physical Sterling Urgent Care clinic.

What We Offer:

  • Opportunity to work with cutting-edge medical reception technology.
  • A dynamic, supportive team environment with a clear structure for feedback and
    professional growth.
  • Comprehensive benefits package for full-time employees.
