About the role

As an EyeCare Virtual Assistant on the administrative track, you run the back office for a U.S. eye care practice. You check coverage before visits, chase authorizations, and follow unpaid claims until they are resolved. You work with one practice as their dedicated administrative assistant.

How this works

EyeCareWorks is a U.S. based placement company, not the practice itself. If you pass screening and interviews, you complete our free eye care training (60+ hours) and earn the EyeCareWorks Virtual Assistant Certificate. We then match you with one U.S. practice. Placement depends on practice demand, so we cannot promise a start date. Paid hours begin on your first day with the practice, at $7.00 USD per hour, paid per tracked hour. You work as an independent contractor and register with the BIR once you qualify, using your own computer and internet connection. There are no application fees, placement fees or training costs at any stage.

What you will do

  • Verify vision and medical insurance eligibility ahead of patient visits
  • Submit prior authorizations and follow them through to approval
  • Post charges and follow up on unpaid or denied claims
  • Keep patient records and back office tasks current and tidy
  • Prepare simple recurring reports for the practice
  • Keep patient information private and handle it under HIPAA rules

What we provide

  • $7.00 USD per hour once placed, paid per tracked hour
  • Free specialized eye care training and the EyeCareWorks Virtual Assistant Certificate, with no fees at any stage
  • Fully remote work from your own home
  • A long term placement with one U.S. practice as their dedicated assistant, rather than rotating between clients
  • A supportive team that stays with you after placement

Who we are looking for

Our assistants come from healthcare backgrounds such as nursing, allied health, medical reception, billing, pharmacy, medical technology and scribing. You do not need eye care experience. Eye care is taught in training, which covers optometry and ophthalmology workflows and the practice software you will use.
