About the Client

  • A prestigious Miami FL-based Headache Wellness Clinic recently contacted Valenta to assist them with Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) and other back office administration. The clinic treats adults and children with all types of headaches, with a particular expertise in managing complex cases. Headache Wellness Center focuses on the overall health and wellness of each individual patient. Valenta was brought in after the healthcare provider was unable to secured reliable local staff and after one failed attempt to outsource with another provider. This engagement has made a dramatic difference for customer and reduced many of their RCM and paperwork headaches!

The Solution

To address these challenges, Valenta identified and placed qualified personnel in the role of Virtual Medical Assistant (VMA). Some of the key responsibilities taken on include:

  • Managing Patient Financial Responsibilities: The VMA streamlined billing and insurance processes, improving the clinic’s financial management.
  • Enhancing Patient Communication: By providing timely and empathetic responses, the VMA improved patient engagement, particularly for sensitive psychiatric cases.
  • Organizing Administrative Tasks: The VMA handled appointment follow-ups, therapy authorizations, and insurance verifications, alleviating the administrative burden on clinical staff.
  • Improving Billing Processes: The VMA managed pre-authorizations and referrals to ensure prompt service, reducing delays in patient care.

The Approach

Valenta VMA staff was systematically integrated into the clinic’s daily operations to address the identified challenges:

  • Proactive Communication: The VMA implemented structured communication protocols, ensuring that missed calls were promptly returned and patients were followed up regularly.
  • Streamlined Billing Oversight: The VMA took control of patient referrals, pre-authorizations, and insurance verification to avoid service delays.
  • Administrative Task Management: The VMA managed administrative tasks such as appointment reminders, therapy authorizations, and insurance verifications, allowing clinical staff to focus on patient care.
  • Telepsychiatry Coordination: Given the clinic’s focus on virtual consultations, the VMA coordinated telepsychiatry appointments, ensuring a seamless experience for both patients and staff.
