Follow-up questions they answered
- How can I find out if a specific service is covered by my insurance without calling?
- Dominick DiFiore uses Healthee's AI functionality to ask specific questions about his plan. He notes that because his healthcare information is imported, the AI provides concise, accurate answers tailored to his specific coverage. — Dominick DiFiore
- What was your life like before working with Healthee?
- Before working with Healthee, my life was a lot of calling my insurance provider to get details to figure out what was covered, what wasn't covered and then also having to dig pretty deep to figure out which providers were in network. — Dominick DiFiore
- What made you say 'yes' to Healthee?
- What made me say 'yes' to Healthee was the accessibility. The mobile app was very easy to use, it's very user-friendly. I like the interface. Previously I would have to carry around all of my physical cards, I would have to use different platforms and it was extremely time-consuming and now everything is in one place. — Dominick DiFiore
- Will my team be upset if I hire a remote virtual assistant?
- Jeremy Pittman initially worried his team wouldn't embrace a remote worker or might fear for their jobs. However, he found the opposite: it took tasks off their plates, allowing them to focus on patients and creating a better 'home feeling' in the clinic. — Jeremy Pittman

- My name is Jeremy Pittman and I live in Cardival, Tennessee and I'm a physical therapy practice owner of three locations here. — Jeremy Pittman
- What was the main reason you hesitated to work with Virtual Rockstar?
