Your HIPAA-trained assistant works under a BAA in clinic hours: new patient inquiries from your website, Google Business Profile and insurance directories are entered with source and stage and followed up within your target; reminder, recall and review-request campaigns are configured with the consent rules your privacy officer approves; opt-outs are synced between the platform and the practice system so nobody who said stop is contacted; duplicates created by online booking are merged; and reactivation lists are built from the practice system and loaded to the campaign with minimum-necessary fields. Campaign content is written or approved by you, and nothing in a message reveals a diagnosis or treatment. Named assistant, backup, team lead from the healthcare desk. Plain definition ## What does a CRM virtual assistant do? A CRM virtual assistant maintains a sales team's customer relationship management system: logging activity, updating deal stages and close dates, merging duplicates, filling required fields, cleaning lists, building sequences and workflows and producing pipeline reports. The assistant does the data work reps skip, so forecasts, dashboards and automations run on records that are actually current. ## What tasks does CRM management cover for medical and dental practices? - Enter new patient inquiries with source and stage and follow up within your target - Configure reminder, recall and review-request campaigns under approved consent rules - Sync opt-outs between the engagement platform and the practice system - Merge duplicates created by online booking and web forms - Build reactivation lists from the practice system with minimum-necessary fields - Track new patient conversion from inquiry to first visit by source - Keep provider, location and insurance data current on directories - Report inquiries, conversion, reviews and reminder delivery monthly ## The KPI that matters here New patient inquiries converted to a first visit, by source, and opt-outs honored across every platform. Both are on the monthly report. ## What rules does CRM management follow for medical & dental? 1. **HIPAA and the BAA.** Every healthcare engagement runs under a business associate agreement. Staff are HIPAA-trained before they touch a chart, access is limited to the minimum necessary for the task, and the HHS Office for Civil Rights rules on use, disclosure and breach notification are built into the playbook. No HIPAA certification exists, so we do not claim one; we describe what we do instead. 2. **Patient outreach under TCPA.** Appointment reminders, recall calls and texts go out with patient consent captured at registration, inside calling hours, with do-not-call scrubbing for anything promotional, under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act enforced by the FCC and the HIPAA marketing rules. 3. **No clinical advice.** Assistants schedule, verify and coordinate. Symptoms, medication questions, results and refill requests are routed to your clinical team by the triage protocol your provider signs off, in line with state medical and dental board rules on unlicensed staff. 4. **Right of access timelines.** Records requests are logged on receipt and processed inside the 30-day HIPAA right-of-access window, with state rules applied where they are shorter, and identity verified before anything is released. ## Medical & dental software we work in - [Dentrix](https://assistbpo.com/software/dentrix/) - [Open Dental](https://assistbpo.com/software/open-dental/) - [athenahealth](https://assistbpo.com/software/athenahealth/) - [eClinicalWorks](https://assistbpo.com/software/eclinicalworks/) - [Kareo Tebra](https://assistbpo.com/software/kareo-tebra/) - [RingCentral](https://assistbpo.com/software/ringcentral/) Also in use - Availity - Weave [See all 80 tools we work in](https://assistbpo.com/software/) ## More for medical and dental practices Other services for medical & dental - [Social media assistant](https://assistbpo.com/industries/medical-practices/social-media-virtual-assistant/) - [After-hours answering](https://assistbpo.com/industries/medical-practices/after-hours-answering/) - [Client intake](https://assistbpo.com/industries/medical-practices/client-intake/) - [Virtual assistant](https://assistbpo.com/industries/medical-practices/virtual-assistant/) - [Virtual receptionist](https://assistbpo.com/industries/medical-practices/virtual-receptionist/) - [Appointment scheduling](https://assistbpo.com/industries/medical-practices/appointment-scheduling/) - [The medical & dental pod](https://assistbpo.com/industries/medical-practices/) CRM management in other industries - [Fitness, salons & spas](https://assistbpo.com/industries/fitness-salons/crm-management/) - [Hospitality, restaurants & travel](https://assistbpo.com/industries/hospitality/crm-management/) - [Mortgage brokers & lenders](https://assistbpo.com/industries/mortgage/crm-management/) - [Nonprofits & churches](https://assistbpo.com/industries/nonprofits/crm-management/) - [The full CRM management page](https://assistbpo.com/services/crm-management/) ## Frequently asked questions ### Can marketing campaigns use patient data? Only within the HIPAA marketing rules. Reminders, recalls and healthcare operations messages can use the minimum necessary from the practice system. Promotional messages need patient authorization and go only to patients who consented, with opt-out wording, and never mention a diagnosis, procedure or medication. Your privacy officer approves each campaign type and the fields used, and the assistant keeps a record of that approval. ### How do you handle online reviews and review requests? Review requests go to patients who consented, after a visit, through your engagement platform, with the timing you set. Replies to public reviews use approved wording that thanks the reviewer and invites them to contact the practice, and never confirm that the reviewer is a patient or discuss their care. Reviews raising a complaint are logged as tickets for the practice manager to handle privately. ### Which patient engagement platforms do you support? Weave, NexHealth, Solutionreach, RevenueWell, Lighthouse 360, Dental Intelligence, Luma, Klara and the engagement modules inside athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Tebra and Dentrix, plus HubSpot or Mailchimp for the website side where a practice uses them. Access is through your accounts with the permissions you set. If your platform is not listed, the team lead documents it during onboarding and the assistant is trained on it before going live.
