What Your Ophthalmic Virtual Assistant Executes Daily

Ophthalmologists, retina specialists, corneal surgeons, and glaucoma clinicians belong in the exam lane, operating room, and laser suite—not spending four hours tracking down pre-op cardiac clearances, submitting step-therapy appeals for anti-VEGF injections, or resolving optical insurance eligibility discrepancies. Delegate the daily administrative drag to vetted healthcare specialists.

01

Cataract & ASC Surgery Coordination

Keep your ambulatory surgery center (ASC) block time 100% full and error-free. We coordinate surgical booking packets for cataract extractions, premium IOLs (toric/multifocal), vitrectomies, and trabeculectomies.

  • ✔ Assembling pre-op surgical packets, H&Ps & primary care medical clearances
  • ✔ Confirming customized biometry/IOL lens power orders with surgical coordinators
  • ✔ Reviewing pre-op eye drop regimens & post-op transportation instructions with patients
02

Anti-VEGF & Specialty Drug Prior Authorizations

Eliminate denials and costly drug write-offs. We navigate payer portal approvals via CoverMyMeds and Availity for intravitreal injections (Eylea, Vabysmo, Lucentis, Avastin) and premium glaucoma drops.

  • ✔ Submitting expedited prior authorizations for wet AMD and diabetic macular edema
  • ✔ Compiling visual acuity logs & OCT thickness diagnostic attachments for appeals
  • ✔ Tracking authorization expiration dates and injection re-authorization cycles
03

Diagnostic OCT, Visual Field & Topography Collation

Ensure every patient chart has complete diagnostic documentation staged before the doctor enters the room. We index and attach diagnostic imaging exports into Nextech, EMA, or ZEISS Forum.

  • ✔ Indexing Humphrey Visual Field (HVF) scans and macular/RNFL OCT reports
  • ✔ Attaching corneal topography (Pentacam) & specular microscopy PDFs
  • ✔ Gathering outside ophthalmology and optometry records prior to new consultations
04

Remote Chart Preparation & Coding Assist

Speed up your lane turnover by 30%. We pre-populate daily patient encounter templates, stage past ocular histories, reconcile current ocular hypotensive medications, and verify ICD-10 eye laterality codes.

  • ✔ Reconciling patient eye drops, dosage frequencies & allergy lists
  • ✔ Staging CPT codes (92004/92014 comprehensive eye exams, 92134 OCT, 92083 HVF)
  • ✔ Enforcing strict right (OD), left (OS), and bilateral (OU) ICD-10 diagnosis tagging
05

Chronic Disease Surveillance & Recall Tracking

Never let a high-risk glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy patient slip through the cracks. We run automated recall queries, contact overdue patients, and backfill sudden schedule cancellations.

  • ✔ Contacting diabetic eye exam, glaucoma pressure check & Plaquenil screening patients
  • ✔ Backfilling sudden morning surgery or laser cancellations from active waitlists
  • ✔ Tracking co-management communication letters with referring optometrists
06

Insurance Eligibility & Premium Out-of-Pocket Inquiries

Clarify patient financial responsibility before clinic arrival. We verify major medical vs. vision plan eligibility, explain premium refractive IOL upgrade balances, and manage payment receipts.

  • ✔ Verifying primary/secondary medical insurance & refractive co-pays prior to visits
  • ✔ Answering patient queries regarding non-covered premium lens implants (Toric/EDOF)
  • ✔ Sending financing pre-approvals via CareCredit or Alphaeon Credit

★★★★★

"We perform 40+ cataract surgeries every week. Coordinating pre-op physicals, cardiologist clearances, and lens IOL orders was swamping our clinic coordinator. Our SageDoer assistant organizes every surgical packet in ModMed EMA 10 days before surgery day. We haven't had a single canceled ASC case since!"

Dr. Marcus Kendrick, MD, FACS
Cataract & Refractive Surgeon, Horizon Eye Institute (Dallas, TX)
★★★★★

"Submitting prior authorizations for Eylea and Vabysmo in our retina clinic used to be a full-time nightmare. Our SageDoer assistant pulls the diagnostic OCT scans, submits portal appeals through CoverMyMeds, and tracks renewal windows flawlessly. Our injection denial rate fell below 1%."

Vitreoretinal Consultants of the Midwest (Chicago, IL)
★★★★★

"Our clinic sees 55 patients a day across general eye care and glaucoma. SageDoer pre-populates our Nextech encounters, matches visual field test results in ZEISS Forum, and manages our annual diabetic retinopathy recall list. Having a dedicated PM oversee quality at $6/hour has saved us over $50,000 in front-desk payroll."

Dr. David Harrison, MD
Glaucoma & Anterior Segment Specialist (Atlanta, GA)
★★★★★

"Managing premium lens upgrade consultations and out-of-pocket insurance inquiries used to cause endless billing confusion. Our assistant verifies insurance benefits 48 hours prior to visits and answers patient questions with compassionate precision. Irreplaceable practice support."

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers on how our managed virtual assistants support ophthalmologists, eye surgeons, and ophthalmic practice administrators.

Patient confidentiality and HIPAA security are absolute and non-negotiable. Prior to onboarding, we execute mutual Business Associate Agreements (BAA) and comprehensive Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). Your virtual assistant operates exclusively through Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) inside your encrypted ophthalmic EHR (Nextech, ModMed EMA, Compulink, Epic) and clearinghouses using Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). Patient medical records, diagnostic OCT scans, and demographic data are never exported or stored on unencrypted local machines.
In strict compliance with clinical state licensing scopes and medical regulations, our virtual assistants handle non-clinical administrative, coordination, and documentation workflow tasks only. They coordinate surgical clearance packets, track anti-VEGF prior authorizations, index completed OCT/visual field scans, stage chart templates, manage chronic recall rosters, and verify insurance benefits. They do not perform physical refractions, calibrate diagnostic machines, conduct slit-lamp exams, or render medical diagnoses—all clinical decision-making remains exclusively with you, the licensed eye physician.
Your Project Manager acts as your executive clinical operations liaison. Rather than spending your limited break time between surgical blocks and laser clinics training remote staff, auditing whether prior authorization attachments were filed correctly, or checking timesheets, you brief your PM directly. They audit task accuracy against your practice's Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), monitor turnaround times, verify productive time logs, and deliver consolidated status digests. You pay strictly for productive VA hours—the PM oversight is 100% free.
None. Unlike medical staffing recruiters that demand multi-thousand dollar placement retainers, or freelance platforms that charge up to 40% in hidden platform markups and client memberships, SageDoer charges strictly the published flat hourly rate ($7/hr part-time or $6/hr full-time). There are zero onboarding fees, no contract lock-ins, and zero software surcharges.
Because SageDoer is a fully managed service, your Project Manager maintains standardized documentation of your practice's EHR workflows, surgical packet protocols, prior authorization formats, and recall criteria. If your primary assistant is sick or unavailable on a critical surgical or injection day, your PM immediately deploys a qualified internal replacement to prevent any missed clearances, delayed injection orders, or patient scheduling bottlenecks.
