The people behind EyeCareWorks' remote placement service for optometry and ophthalmology practices: licensed nurses and healthcare graduates, trained for eye care before they ever meet your practice, ready for insurance verification, scribing, recalls, and billing from day one.
EyeCareWorks VAs are Registered Nurses, Licensed Healthcare Professionals, and Healthcare Graduates trained specifically for optometry and ophthalmology practices. Every specialist comes from one of three clinical backgrounds and has completed the EyeCareWorks certification program.
Registered nurses with real clinical experience. They bring patient triage instincts, medical terminology fluency, and disciplined charting habits to every task, from scribing to patient recalls.
Professionals beyond nursing, including medical technologists, pharmacists, and physical therapists. Precision and protocol are their trade, which means cleaner claims, tighter prior authorizations, and records that hold up under review.
Nursing and allied health graduates who outperformed licensed applicants in our screening and skills testing. That drive reaches your practice as faster learning, sharper work, and a VA who stays, because this is the career they are building.
A nursing license or healthcare degree opens our door, not yours. Every VA completes the same certified eye care training and assessment before placement, so whoever joins your practice arrives already fluent in your world. Three paths in. One standard out.
Every EyeCareWorks VA is trained specifically for the administrative and operational rhythm of optometry and ophthalmology practices.
Your assistant arrives fluent in optometric terminology, front-office workflows, and the daily rhythm of an eye care practice, from exam scheduling to recall campaigns. Ramp-up is minimal because the training happened before they ever met you.
You work with the same EyeCareWorks VA every day. They learn your doctors, your patients, and your way of doing things, and that familiarity compounds into speed your whole team can feel.
Every assistant completes HIPAA training and a full background check before placement, and works under signed confidentiality agreements. Your patients' information stays protected, and your practice stays compliant.
Secure time and activity tracking gives you complete visibility into the work being done. You see the output, and you only pay for productive hours.
Behind every EyeCareWorks Virtual Assistant are 60+ hours of specialized eye care training completed before they become eligible for placement. Our program is designed for one purpose. Preparing healthcare professionals to operate confidently inside optometry and ophthalmology practices.
HIPAA fundamentals, Business Associate Agreement standards, PHI handling protocols, secured workstation requirements, role-based access principles, and incident response procedures. Every placed VA earns a HIPAA Certificate of Completion.
Recognition of urgent versus routine concerns, including vision changes, eye pain, flashes, floaters, and trauma. VAs trained to escalate appropriately while staying within scope and never providing medical advice.
VSP, EyeMed, Davis Vision, and more medical insurance benefit verification. Eligibility, copays, frame allowances, exam frequencies, material benefits, and in-network confirmations. Plan-specific workflows for each major carrier.
Training on the most-used optometry and ophthalmology EMRs including Eyefinity, RevolutionEHR, Crystal PM, Compulink, OfficeMate, MaximEyes, Uprise, ExamWRITER, Practice Director, and My Vision Express. EMR-specific documentation, scheduling, and workflow training.
Refraction, OCT, visual fields, fundus imaging, glaucoma testing, contact lens fittings, dry eye protocols, and standard exam flow. VAs speak the language of an eye care practice from day one.
Phone scripts, recall campaign workflows, appointment reminder cadences, post-visit follow-ups, and difficult patient conversations. Trained to match each practice's voice and standards.
Vision and medical claim submission, denial follow-up, appeal letters, prior authorization workflows, patient statements, and accounts receivable processes.
Optical and lab coordination, frame board management, contact lens ordering, telehealth visit support, and operational reporting.
Every application is individually reviewed against strict eligibility criteria: verified healthcare credentials, clinical education, documented patient-facing experience, and written English proficiency. Applications that cannot be fully verified are declined.
Qualified candidates complete timed written and practical assessments covering medical terminology, situational judgment, attention to detail, communication clarity, and core clinical knowledge. Only candidates who meet our scoring thresholds advance.
A structured, two-stage interview. Stage one evaluates spoken English fluency, professional communication, and service mindset. Stage two is a clinical interview probing healthcare experience, judgment in patient scenarios, and fit with U.S. practice standards.
Healthcare credentials and licenses are independently verified, professional references are contacted directly, and background checks, including government-issued ID and NBI clearance, are completed before any candidate is admitted to training.
Enrollment is earned, not given. Only candidates who clear all four prior stages enter our 60+ hour eye care training program, and enrollment does not guarantee placement. Candidates must pass final competency evaluations and earn a HIPAA Certificate of Completion before they are matched with a practice.
No contracts. No setup fees. Cancel anytime.
