20/20 Money Episode #282 – Using Medical Virtual Assistants in your practice to increase efficiency (and profitability) with Dr. Adam Ramsey, OD

April 1, 2024

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today’s show is Dr. Adam Ramsey, OD, representing VA Healthcare. In this episode, we talk about the role that a virtual medical assistant can play in your practice’s patient flow and how to think about the changes that you’d have to make in your practice for this to be a viable option. Adam provides a list of responsibilities that they’re doing in his practice and how he thinks through capacity for this person while ultimately striving to deliver the best experience for his patients.
