About HeyVA
HeyVA supports U.S. medical practices with experienced remote healthcare staff.
We are still a relatively small company, but we are growing quickly. We care a lot about the people we bring onto the team because our VAs work directly with clinics, patients, and insurance companies.
We are looking for people who are dependable, easy to communicate with, good at their work, and interested in staying with a company long term.
As we grow, we also want to promote from within. Strong team members will have opportunities to take on more responsibility over time.
About the Role
We are hiring a Medical Scheduler and Accounts Receivable Specialist to support a U.S.-based medical practice.
This is a mixed role.
Part of your day will involve speaking with patients, managing appointments, handling scheduling issues, and helping patients navigate the clinic.
The other part will involve insurance and accounts receivable work, including claim follow-up, eligibility, denials, unpaid claims, and communication with insurance companies.
Because this position involves regular phone communication, we are looking for someone who speaks fluent professional English and Spanish and is comfortable communicating with U.S. patients.
Primary Responsibilities
Scheduling and Patient Support
Accounts Receivable and Insurance
Required Experience
Candidates must have:
Preferred Experience
We are especially interested in candidates who have:
What We Are Looking For
The strongest person for this role will be someone who can work independently once trained.
You should be comfortable figuring out what happened with an unpaid claim, calling the payer when needed, documenting the result, and knowing what should happen next.
On the scheduling side, you should be comfortable speaking with patients throughout the day, including patients who may be frustrated, confused, or trying to get an appointment quickly.
We also expect good communication with the clinic. If something is unclear, delayed, or becoming a problem, we want you to speak up early rather than let it sit.
Compensation
The starting salary for this position is $1,300 USD per month
We know this is above the starting rate for many similar remote positions, and we are looking for experience to match.
There is room for increased responsibility and compensation over time based on performance and the needs of the team.

E. Which EHRs, EMRs, practice management systems, or payer portals have you used?
Long Questions:

G. A claim has been unpaid for 90 days. The payer portal shows that it was received, but no payment has been issued. What would you do next?
H. A patient calls and says she was supposed to have an appointment today, but there is nothing on the schedule and the provider is fully booked. How would you handle the call?
