I spent years behind the pharmacy counter identifying prescription errors, counseling patients on their medications, and discussing drug interactions before they caused harm. That clinical depth is exactly why telehealth clinics bring me in. I understand the medicine behind the paperwork, not just the paperwork itself. For the past 4+ years, I've supported telehealth practices as a HIPAA-compliant medical VA and pharmacist, working across multiple EHRs to keep clinics running smoothly. Beyond administrative support, I bring hands-on clinical value: I handle patient medication education, guide patients through supplement and skincare product recommendations, process prescription refill requests, and manage drug insurance approvals, including prior authorization support through CoverMyMeds. When a patient is confused about their regimen or a provider needs a second set of clinical eyes on a note, I'm the person who bridges that gap. Where I add value: 🔹 Clinical Coordination and Administration: Patient intake, scheduling, refills, and documentation that's accurate and ready via DrChrono, OptiMantra, TherapyNotes, and CoverMyMeds. 🔹 Patient Education & Medication Management: Counseling patients on prescriptions, recommending supplements and skincare products aligned with provider plans, and processing refill requests with clinical awareness. 🔹 Insurance & Prior Authorization: Navigating insurance approvals for medications, handling PA submissions, and following up to reduce delays in patient care. 🔹 Telehealth Front Desk: Patient-facing communication via RingCentral, Zoom, Slack, and Doxy.me. 🔹 Operations: SOPs and workflow tools in Google Workspace, HubSpot, Canva, and Trello. What sets me apart is that I catch things before they become problems: an incomplete note, a potential drug interaction, a patient who needs extra reassurance, or a workflow that's quietly wasting your team's time. If you're looking for a telehealth partner or assistant who brings both clinical knowledge and administrative precision, let's talk. Send an invite or a message for a quick 10-minute call.
