Virtual Medical Assistants (VMA) Transforming a Family Medicine Practice

  • A busy Midwest family medicine practice (150+ patients/day) faced delays in prior authorizations, inconsistent coding, front-desk overload, and denial rates of 12–14%.
  • Practolytics implemented Virtual Medical Assistants (VMAs) embedded into key workflows: prior authorizations, clinical coding support, and patient communication.
  • VMAs reduced administrative workload by 40% in the first quarter through real-time tracking, proactive coding reviews, and efficient call handling.
  • Within six months: denials dropped 14% → 6%, prior-auth time 5 days → 48 hours, call abandonment reduced by 60%, and provider documentation time fell by 35 minutes/day.
  • Coding accuracy improved from 87% to 96%, and patient experience improved with faster scheduling and fewer dropped calls.
  • Practolytics’ combined model of automation + trained VMAs + specialty knowledge ensured HIPAA-compliant, highly efficient workflows.
  • The practice expanded hours, boosted patient satisfaction by 18%, and freed up time for care programs — turning VMAs into a long-term growth strategy, not just admin support.
