Medical distant assistants can help alleviate many private practice pains. Ask yourself the following questions:
Are you and your staff always pressed for time to check your patients’ insurance eligibility?
Do you find it challenging to manage appointments and make reminder and confirmation calls?
Are you bogged down by a growing pile of patient documents you need to encode into your EMR?
Do you have to stay two to three hours beyond 5PM to get through a day’s worth of charts or progress notes?
If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, then you might consider hiring your own General Medical Distant Assistant or Distant Medical Scribe and/or a Distant New Patient Intake Coordinator.

Are your Medical Distant Assistants familiar with my EHR software?
Our team has been involved with, or directly providing, Medical Distant Assistant Services since 2006. Bottleneck Medical Distant Services was organized in 2018 in response to the growing nationwide demand for quality Medical Distant Assistant Services that accurately and efficiently meet the medical needs of physicians.
Do Medical Distant Scribes code and bill the chart?
No, they do not. However, they can apply frequent codes that a practice uses based on the practice dictation to help ensure accuracy and efficiency in billing. We highly encourage physicians to double-check for accuracy and efficiency for at least the first few months to ensure the progress notes are being recorded correctly.
Do I have control of my data?
Yes. Each of our MDA staff members has completed the HIPAA compliancy checklist to ensure that they are operating according to remote-access best practices according to Health and Human Services HIPAA Security Guide. We also guide you to only give access to what the VMA needs to accomplish their tasks. This reduces risks and improves your data security.
How do I pay my MDA?
Bottleneck Medical Distant Services sends out invoices in two pay periods:
1 - 15th
16 - End of each Month
We will invoice you on the first business day after the end of each pay period. We recommend paying your invoice as soon as possible as we send the payment to your MDA as soon as we receive your payment.
