The number of virtual medical assistants varies; some are allocated to a single healthcare provider, while others work for a healthcare firm with several clients. The administrative category deals with executive functions including scheduling appointments, updating chart notes, answering to emails, sending emails and phone calls, and handling insurance. Naturally, the COVID-19 pandemic has made it more challenging for healthcare providers including veterinarians, dentists, and doctors to provide treatment. Virtual medical assistants use technology to provide administrative support to physicians, dentists, and veterinary surgeons. Virtual assistants may be paid hourly or on a project basis, depending on the work's nature.
