Why the premium over HelloRache

Yes, Staffing For Doctors costs 47% more per hour than HelloRache ($14 vs $9.50). Here is exactly what that premium buys, and why practices with real clinical risk choose to pay it. 1) US-based account management - every account has a US-based Customer Success Manager who owns escalations, weekly check-ins, and QA review, not a shared offshore inbox. 2) Specialty-matched pods - your VA is trained inside a pod built around your specialty's EHR, payer mix, and workflows (55+ specialties), not a generalist pulled from a healthcare queue. 3) Weekly QA scoring with a client dashboard - every placement is scored weekly against an accuracy and turnaround rubric, and you see those scores live in your dashboard. 4) HIPAA infrastructure included - BAA, audited devices, AES-256 encryption, MFA, role-based access, and audit logs are part of every engagement at no extra charge, not a compliance package billed on top.
