Legion Health Medical Virtual Assistant role supporting patient access and intake operations remotely. Responsible for contacting, welcoming, preparing, and routing patients before their first visit using various communication and scheduling tools.
Responsibilities
This is not a traditional administrative-assistant role. You will be a frontline operator responsible for helping real patients navigate a complex healthcare experience. Patients may contact us when they are anxious, frustrated, missing documentation, experiencing scheduling problems, or unsure what to do next. You must be able to communicate calmly, clearly, accurately, and empathetically while keeping each patient moving toward care.
Excellent spoken and written English is essential. You will communicate directly with U.S.-based patients every day, document conversations for clinical and operations teams, and explain complicated logistical requirements in simple language without sounding robotic or dismissive.
We strongly prefer candidates with pharmacy, medical, nursing, behavioral-health, or other formal healthcare training outside the United States. This is a strictly non-clinical position: you will not diagnose patients, provide medical advice, recommend treatment, or practice under any medical or pharmacy license. Clinical fluency is valuable because it will help you understand patient needs, recognize sensitive issues, gather the right information, and escalate questions to the appropriate clinical team.
A meaningful part of the role may involve helping patients prepare for ADHD-related care. You should be comfortable learning detailed protocols, explaining documentation and release-of-information requirements, coordinating next steps, and helping patients feel prepared while remaining firmly within a non-clinical scope.
The right person is warm with patients, precise with documentation, reliable under pressure, and energized by the opportunity to improve the systems behind a rapidly growing mental-health practice.
