Dear Virtual Latinos,
We’re looking to hire 1 VA through this job that the Virtual Latinos Agency is publishing on behalf of a new client.
Client & Short Job Description:
The client has been a family practitioner doctor for 20 years and has had her business in Florence, Kentucky, for five years. She owns a direct primary practice; it’s a membership model, similar to the concierge in that people do pay a monthly membership to be part of the practice, yet she does not bill insurance in addition. She has patients from all different backgrounds, people who don’t have any insurance, and this is their way of accessing health care. And also, people who have great insurance but have issues accessing health care because they don’t want to be waiting around for a visit all day. She has a handful of patients who speak Spanish, so a bilingual VA is important for her, even though Spanish is her second language. She currently can work with patients virtually, yet she is fully transitioning to visit them in person.
The client is looking for someone who has their best interest in working with the practitioner and her patients. She has worked with someone virtually before, so she knows how it works, yet the client is looking to work with someone long-term as she is invested in training the VA in everything needed. The VA will need to answer the phone and make appointments. The client’s primary care patients don’t normally call the office. Still, for the immigration physicals, they ask about the practice, how much it costs, and how it works so, the VA will be giving the information, and occasionally the calls are in Spanish but mainly in English.
Software the client currently uses:
– Cerbo or MDHQ — EMR: for scheduling patients, where lab results come in.
– Spruce: Texting/phone system.
– HINT: Billing system, for enrolling new patients.
Job Highlights: Why should you apply?
– Opportunity to work along with a family practitioner doctor with an extensive background in the field.
– Ideal for a VA with a genuine interest in helping the practitioner and her patients.
– Great opportunity to receive training on all the necessary tasks, and work long-term with the client.
DEADLINE TO APPLY: You must apply by Tuesday, November 16th at 11:30 pm PT. Our team will set up interviews for the selected candidates for Thursday, November 18th, 2021.
