Global Medical Virtual Assistants
In this episode, GMVA CEO Beth Lachance sits down to talk about one of the most urgent challenges in modern healthcare: how overworked physicians can reclaim their time without sacrificing patient care.
Beth shares how Global Medical Virtual Assistants (GMVA) is helping doctors find the elusive balance between professional responsibility and personal well-being. Drawing from years of corporate healthcare and real estate operations experience, Beth created GMVA as a way to bring the power of virtual staffing—already widely used in other industries—into the medical world.
Whether it’s prior authorizations, patient scheduling, insurance follow-ups, or handling new patient intake, GMVA’s team of HIPAA-certified, medically trained virtual assistants is providing much-needed relief to practices across the U.S. With seamless integration into EMRs and workflows, these virtual team members operate just like in-house staff—only remote, more cost-effective, and often more specialized.
Beth walks through real-world examples of how practices delegate tasks, from routine admin work to time-intensive payer interactions. The result? Physicians get to spend more time with patients and less time bogged down by paperwork. Teams feel less overwhelmed, staff morale improves, and overall efficiency soars.
One of the most compelling points Beth makes: you don’t have to do everything yourself. With the right support, you can focus on practicing medicine—while we take care of the rest.
