HIPAA CompliantEMR-TrainedDedicated VA

Dermatology virtual assistants

Virtual assistants for dermatology practices.

Cherry Assistant places dedicated, HIPAA-trained virtual scribes and back-office VAs for medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology - built for the volume of skin exams, biopsies, and cosmetic consults dermatologists actually run.

Overview

Why dermatology practices hire through Cherry.

Dermatology is volume-heavy: full-body skin exams, biopsy workups, MOHS follow-ups, and a constantly growing cosmetic side. Cherry Assistant places a dedicated VA who scribes in dermatology-specific EMRs, handles pathology follow-up, and books cosmetic consults without dropping medical demand.

We've placed VAs inside ModMed Dermatology, Nextech, and EZDerm. They know the difference between a 17110 cryo, a 17000 destruction, and a 11102 biopsy - and they document accordingly. No re-training on derm-specific coding.

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.

Dermatology workflow

What a dermatology VA owns.

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

Scribing for skin checks and procedures

Full-body exam documentation, lesion mapping, and procedure notes (biopsies, ED&C, excisions) at the encounter.

Pathology result outreach

Tracking pending paths, patient call-backs on benign and atypical results, and follow-up scheduling for excisions.

Cosmetic consult scheduling and intake

Inbound aesthetic inquiries, consult booking, and pre-treatment photo intake without slowing medical-side flow.

Prior authorizations for biologics

Documentation for Dupixent, Skyrizi, Otezla, and other systemic biologics - including PA renewals.

EMR coverage

We work inside your dermatology EMR.

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

  • ModMed Dermatology
  • Nextech
  • EZDerm
  • DermPath Lab portals

Patient touchpoints

Where the VA shows up for your patients.

Every touchpoint below is recurring work - exactly the kind that justifies a dedicated VA rather than a contractor.

  • Annual skin-check recall outreach
  • Pathology result follow-up
  • Cosmetic consult booking and intake
  • Biologic PA status updates

Healthcare VA roles

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.

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

Frequently asked

Dermatology VA - answered.

Can your VAs handle both medical and cosmetic dermatology workflows?

Yes. Most of the dermatology practices we staff run both, and our VAs are trained to triage cosmetic and medical inquiries into the right calendar without losing either side.

Do you support MOHS-day workflow?

Yes. We can staff a dedicated VA for MOHS-day check-in, pathology hand-off coordination, and post-op patient instruction.
