    How it works with your practice

    The Team Lead learns appointment lengths, provider restrictions, location rules and the steps for exceptions, then records them in written and video SOPs you keep. The Primary MVA takes over daily booking and reminder work; the Backup MVA trains on the same calendars and scripts. Assistants work inside your EHR, practice-management system and phone tools with your permissions. Payer portals are used only when connected eligibility checks are included in the scope.

    Agree on a daily queue summary or another reporting cadence: booked requests, unanswered reminders, cancelled slots and items awaiting your decision. Use a shared record for waitlist offers so the same opening is not promised twice. Review the process when appointment types or providers change, rather than relying on informal messages.

    Who it's for

    Therapy practices benefit from clear waitlists and recurring appointment rules. Mental health clinics and group practices can use separate provider calendars with a shared scheduling queue. Discuss the appointment formats and channels you actually use.

    Mental health clinics, therapists and counselors and group practices.

    What stays with your team

    Your providers determine appointment requirements and which requests need their review; your practice owns availability and cancellation rules. We apply those instructions and keep scheduling requests moving.

    Security and HIPAA

    Our HIPAA-trained team works through HIPAA-compliant processes, with a BAA with every client. Your practice authorizes system access and defines permitted actions before work begins. Review our security and compliance information when planning access and communication rules.

    Medical virtual assistant services can connect this function to your broader administrative workflow.
