Appointment scheduling
Book, reschedule and confirm appointments directly in the practice's system under its own rules.
Front-desk capacity, without the hiring
Trained healthcare assistants who know what a schedule actually costs.
A missed eligibility check or an unfilled slot is a revenue event, not an administrative one. T Zync provides trained healthcare virtual assistants who work inside your systems, follow your protocols and are measured on outcomes the practice can see.
Designed for
Practices with front-desk turnover, phone backlogs or unfilled schedules
No PHI through public forms
01 What this solves
The front desk decides how much of the day is billable.
Unanswered phones create no-shows, gaps in the schedule and patients who book elsewhere. Eligibility checks skipped at the desk become denials three weeks later, when the fix costs far more than the check would have.
T Zync assistants are trained on healthcare workflows rather than general administrative support. They work in the practice's own scheduling system and payer portals, follow the practice's scripts and escalation rules, and are supervised against defined service levels.
Coverage is arranged around the practice's operating hours, including extended coverage where the phone volume justifies it.
02 What is included
Coverage where the schedule leaks.
Inbound call handling
Answer patient calls with the practice's scripts, with defined escalation for clinical questions.
Eligibility verification
Run coverage checks ahead of the visit so the desk is not discovering plan changes at check-in.
Reminder and recall calls
Reduce no-shows through confirmation calls and bring overdue patients back onto the schedule.
Referral coordination
Track incoming and outgoing referrals so authorizations and records follow the patient.
Patient balance calls
Handle balance questions and payment arrangements within the practice's written policy.
Inbox and fax management
Sort clinical and administrative messages and route them to the right owner.
Waitlist and gap filling
Work cancellations against a waitlist so open slots are refilled the same day.
03 How the work is governed
Access, supervision and accountability.
Remote support only works when access and measurement are defined in advance.
| Control | How it works |
|---|---|
| System access | Assistants work under practice-issued credentials with role-based permissions. T Zync does not require administrative rights. |
| HIPAA and business associate status | Work involving protected health information operates under a signed business associate agreement with defined safeguards. |
| Protocols | Scripts, escalation rules and scheduling policies are documented by the practice and followed as written. |
| Supervision | Assistants are supervised by a T Zync lead, not left to self-manage, with a named point of contact for the practice. |
| Measurement | Performance is reported against agreed measures such as call answer rate, schedule fill and eligibility completion before the visit. |
Scope, coverage hours and service levels are agreed in writing before an assistant starts.

FAQ Virtual assistance guidance
Virtual assistance questions, answered clearly.
For guidance specific to your specialty, payer mix and systems, speak with T Zync.
What can a healthcare virtual assistant do that a general VA cannot?
Healthcare assistants work inside scheduling systems and payer portals, understand eligibility responses, referral requirements and appointment types, and know when a patient question must be escalated to clinical staff rather than answered.
Do assistants access protected health information?
Where the task requires it, yes, and that work operates under a business associate agreement with role-based access under practice-issued credentials.
Can assistants cover our time zone?
Yes. Coverage is arranged around the practice's operating hours, including extended coverage where call volume justifies it.
How is quality controlled?
Assistants are supervised by a T Zync lead against documented protocols, with call and task review and reporting on agreed service levels.
What happens if an assistant is unavailable?
Coverage is planned with a backup who is trained on the same protocols, so the desk is not left unstaffed.
Can we start with one assistant?
Yes. Most practices start with a single assistant on a defined task set and expand once service levels are proven.
