@leahkinyua
Medical virtual assistant specializing in HIPAA-compliant clinical and administrative support.
What I'm looking for
I am a medical virtual assistant with over four years' experience supporting multi-provider practices and telehealth clinics, focused on reducing administrative burdens for U.S. healthcare providers.
I specialize in high-volume appointment scheduling, insurance verification, prior authorizations, and EMR documentation across Athenahealth, Kareo, and eClinicalWorks, maintaining accuracy and HIPAA compliance.
In prior roles I scheduled 35–45 patient appointments daily, maintained 99% accuracy in EMR documentation, reduced no-shows, and improved insurance data accuracy to minimize billing delays and claim rejections.
I integrate smoothly into existing workflows, manage patient communication professionally, and deliver reliable, detail-oriented support so providers can concentrate on patient care.
