Procedure Scheduling Gets Complicated

Colonoscopies, EGDs, follow-ups, cancellations, and provider calendars all require careful coordination.

Prior Authorizations Slow the Team Down

Payer-specific auths for biologics like Skyrizi and screening vs. diagnostic colonoscopy coding stall your schedule.

Prep Non-Compliance Costs Slots

Missed prep instructions and unconfirmed appointments lead to poor bowel prep, delays, and wasted procedure time.

Same-Day Cancellations Leave Gaps

Last-minute cancellations and no-shows leave open endoscopy slots that no one has time to backfill.

For Doctors, By A Doctor Dr. Felix Sigal

For Doctors, By a Doctor

Built by a Physician Who Ran the Same Front Desk

Angel City VA was founded by Dr. Felix Sigal, a practicing physician who spent years watching his own team lose hours to prior auths, prep calls, and EMR busywork. He built the staffing model he wished he’d had: HIPAA-trained assistants who understand clinical workflows, not a generic call center.

“My front desk was buried in authorizations and prep calls while patients waited. I built the support I wanted for my own practice.”

Dr. Felix Sigal, Founder

HIPAA-Trained, BAA in Place

We sign a BAA before day one. VAs work over a secured VPN, keep no local storage, and use monitored workstations.

Built for Your GI Workflow

Your VA works in your EMR, runs your phone and referral process, handles payer requirements, and follows your prep instructions.

Lower Cost, No Added Headcount

You cut employment, office-space, equipment, and recruiting costs while keeping the coverage your practice needs.

Full Productivity Visibility

You get clear expectations, weekly reporting, and task-level visibility that keeps remote support accountable.
