Introduction

Lumina Health, a fast-growing telehealth clinic offering virtual consultations across the U.S. and Canada, faced rapid expansion challenges. As patient inquiries and appointment requests increased, their in-house team struggled to keep up with scheduling, data entry, and insurance verification tasks.
Administrative bottlenecks were leading to missed appointments, delayed follow-ups, and reduced patient satisfaction. Lumina Health needed an efficient, reliable, and HIPAA-compliant support partner that could help them manage patient coordination, appointment scheduling, and communication without compromising care quality.

That’s when Top Virtual Assistants (TVA) stepped in to provide specialized Healthcare Virtual Assistants trained in medical administration, scheduling, and patient support.

Objective

The goal for Lumina Health was to:

• Improve patient scheduling efficiency and reduce appointment overlaps.
• Streamline communication between patients, doctors, and admin teams.

• Increasing delays in appointment confirmations and follow-ups.
• High patient wait times during peak consultation hours.
• Disorganized coordination between multiple doctors’ calendars.
