And how Ankr VCX is leading the transformation
In the past decade, we’ve seen the healthcare landscape change dramatically. What started as an experiment in video calls during the pandemic has now evolved into something much bigger—and much smarter. We’re no longer just talking about telehealth. We’re entering the age of Virtual Clinics, and specialty care is at the forefront of this shift.
Today’s specialists are facing a complex reality:
More patients than ever.
Greater expectations for communication.
Shrinking margins.
Mounting documentation demands.
So how do you meet this moment without burning out—or missing out? The answer lies in platforms like Ankr VCX, a purpose-built virtual clinic solution that goes beyond video calls to offer scalable, intelligent, and fully reimbursable care delivery.
From Telehealth to Virtual Clinics: What’s the Difference?
Traditional telehealth is reactive—it connects a patient and provider via a screen. But once the call ends, providers are still left with manual documentation, billing complexity, and limited follow-up tools.
Ankr VCX takes a different approach. It powers complete virtual clinic operations, allowing practices to:
Conduct video and asynchronous visits
Auto-generate 80%+ of documentation
Get reimbursed for patient messages (yes, even portal chats)
Track symptoms, side effects, and outcomes with pharma-grade precision
Stay fully integrated with Epic®, Athena®, and eClinicalWorks®
Why Specialty Care Needs a Smarter Virtual Layer
Primary care may get the spotlight, but specialty care is where complexity lives. Oncology, gastroenterology, cardiology—these fields deal with high-risk patients, long treatment cycles, and deep clinical data.
That’s where Ankr VCX becomes a game-changer. It adds a virtual layer that doesn’t just support visits—it actively enhances them.
Real-time symptom tracking helps you intervene before complications arise.
Automated billing codes make it easy to get reimbursed for digital touchpoints.
Smart routing ensures the right staff sees the right patient message.
AI-powered documentation cuts down hours of charting into minutes.
Instead of adding more work, Ankr VCX lightens the load—while opening up new revenue streams.
Reimbursable Care, Reimagined
Here’s the reality: CMS and private payers now reimburse for virtual check-ins, remote evaluations, chronic care management, and even patient-generated messages—if you code it right and document it well.
That’s exactly what Ankr VCX is designed to do. It doesn’t just facilitate virtual care; it ensures every interaction is compliant, documented, and billable.
Imagine turning dozens of daily portal messages into legitimate, revenue-generating encounters—with zero copy-pasting and no billing chaos. That’s what modern specialty clinics are doing with Ankr VCX.
Built for Your EHR. Not Against It.
Too often, new technology means new headaches—especially when it doesn’t play nicely with your existing EHR. Ankr VCX is built differently. It natively integrates with the top EHRs in the U.S., including: Epic® Athena® eClinicalWorks®
That means no duplicate data entry, no switching tabs, and no IT nightmares. Just a seamless experience for your front desk, back office, and clinicians.
The Bottom Line
Virtual care isn’t just about convenience anymore. It’s about survival—and sustainability.
For specialty practices looking to scale intelligently, reduce burnout, and stay financially viable, Ankr VCX isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity.
The future of specialty care isn’t just online. It’s automated. It’s reimbursable. It’s powered by Ankr VCX.
Ankr VCX is your partner in making that leap—securely, intelligently, and profitably.
