HIPAA CompliantEMR-TrainedDedicated VA

Dental virtual assistants

Virtual assistants for dental practices.

Cherry Assistant places dedicated, HIPAA-trained virtual dental assistants for general dentistry, orthodontic, and pediatric practices - built for the recall cadence, the insurance verification load, and the treatment-plan presentation work dental offices actually run.

Overview

Why dental practices hire through Cherry.

Dental practices live on recall. A patient who doesn't come back for six months is a patient who quietly leaves the practice. Cherry Assistant places a dedicated VA who runs the recall outreach, verifies insurance before the visit, and follows up on outstanding treatment plans - so the chair stays full and the revenue stays predictable.

We staff dental practices specifically. Our VAs work in Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental, and Curve Dental. They know the difference between a D1110 prophy and a D4341 scaling, how to verify dental insurance benefits, and how to present a treatment plan for patient acceptance.

What you get

Built for medical practices - not generic VA work.

Compliance

HIPAA-compliant from day one

Cherry Assistant trains every healthcare VA on HIPAA before they touch a chart or schedule. Signed BAAs are available on managed-hire plans, and our onboarding covers PHI handling, minimum-necessary access, and audit-trail discipline.

Workflow

Handles EMR management and documentation

Charts, encounter notes, prior-auth requests, refill queues, lab follow-ups - your VA owns the documentation work that pulls clinicians out of the room. We've staffed inside Athena, eClinicalWorks, DrChrono, SimplePractice, Practice Fusion, Kareo, Jane, Epic, and Cerner.

Continuity

A dedicated VA - not a rotating team

You get the same vetted person every day. They learn your workflow, your patients' names, your front desk's rhythm. No pooled call-center model, no handoffs, no relearning the chart.

Dental workflow

What a dental VA owns.

Specialty-specific work patterns, not a generic checklist. Your VA learns these on day one.

Recall and reactivation outreach

Six-month hygiene recall, overdue recall outreach, and reactivation campaigns for patients who haven't been seen in 18+ months.

Insurance verification

Pre-visit benefits checks for every patient - coverage, frequency, downgrades, and out-of-network status confirmed before the appointment.

Treatment-plan follow-up

Outreach for unaccepted treatment plans, scheduling, and presenting financing options.

New-patient inquiry conversion

Inbound inquiry response, intake, and same-week scheduling for new patients.

EMR coverage

We work inside your dental EMR.

Cherry Assistant has staffed across the EMRs that dental practices actually use. New-EMR onboarding adds about a week before the VA is live.

  • Dentrix
  • Eaglesoft
  • Open Dental
  • Curve Dental
  • Practice-Web

  • Six-month hygiene recall
  • Treatment-plan follow-up outreach
  • New-patient intake and scheduling
  • Outstanding-balance billing communication

Healthcare VA roles

Three roles, one dedicated person - or build a small team.

Virtual Medical Scribe

Real-time charting in your EMR during patient encounters so clinicians finish notes at the visit, not at midnight.

  • ROS, HPI, assessment, and plan templated to your style
  • Coding support (ICD-10, CPT, E/M leveling)
  • Reduces after-hours charting load

Virtual Medical Receptionist

Front-desk coverage that schedules, screens, and warm-transfers patients without missing a call.

  • Inbound and outbound patient scheduling
  • Insurance verification and benefits checks
  • New-patient intake and forms collection
  • Appointment reminders and no-show recovery

Virtual Administrative Assistant

Back-office throughput on the work that sits between patient care and the practice running - billing follow-up, referrals, supplies, and ops.

  • Prior authorizations and referral coordination
  • Insurance claim follow-up and denials work
  • Inbox, calendar, and provider task triage
  • Light reporting, scheduling reports, vendor coordination

Frequently asked

Dental VA - answered.

Can a virtual dental assistant handle insurance verification at scale?

Yes. Insurance verification is the single highest-leverage administrative task in a dental practice - our VAs are trained to run it for every patient on the schedule, and to chase down anything unclear before the visit.

Do you support ortho and pediatric dental workflows?

Yes. We staff general, orthodontic, and pediatric dental practices. Ortho VAs run the treatment-series recall (typically every 4 - 6 weeks) and pediatric VAs are trained on parent-communication workflows specifically.
