Question 1

What is the difference between Staffing For Doctors and MEDVA?

Accepted Answer

Choosing between Staffing For Doctors and MEDVA? Staffing For Doctors places dedicated, specialty-trained virtual medical staff for U.S. practices at a flat $14/hr, with 48-hour onboarding, weekly QA, a HIPAA-compliant client dashboard, and a same-week replacement guarantee, typically the better fit when you need speed, transparent pricing, and accountable QA. MEDVA pioneered the medical VA category. Staffing For Doctors offers comparable talent with stronger specialty training, a flat transparent rate, and HIPAA compliance built into every engagement - not gated behind a paid Security Package add-on.

Question 2

Why do practices switch from MEDVA to Staffing For Doctors?

Accepted Answer

The most common reasons doctors switch are faster onboarding (48 hours vs. 1–4 weeks), dedicated specialty pods instead of generalist or shared assistants, transparent flat pricing with no setup fees, weekly QA scoring, and the same-week replacement guarantee that removes the risk of a bad-fit placement.

Question 3

How does pricing compare to MEDVA?

Accepted Answer

MEDVA's publicly listed pricing is tiered: $10/hr (Full-Time), $12/hr (Bilingual), $14/hr (Secured Facility with Epic/EMR-grade security), and $18/hr (Part-Time). Staffing For Doctors is a flat $14/hr - the same rate MEDVA charges for its Secured Facility tier - except every SFD engagement already includes the HIPAA infrastructure, BAA, audited devices, encryption, and audit logs that MEDVA gates inside that higher security tier. Bilingual and part-time coverage are also included at the same $14/hr rather than priced up to $18/hr. The honest summary: MEDVA can be cheaper if you only need its base tier and never need its security upgrade; once you need real HIPAA controls, SFD is the same hourly rate with more included.

Question 4

Are Staffing For Doctors virtual assistants HIPAA compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every assistant completes mandatory HIPAA certification with annual refreshers, every engagement is covered by a signed Business Associate Agreement, and the client dashboard runs on AES-256 encrypted infrastructure with MFA, role-based access, and audit logs.

Question 5

Can I try Staffing For Doctors risk-free if I'm currently with MEDVA?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer a 30-day risk-free trial. We can run a Staffing For Doctors placement in parallel with your current MEDVA engagement so you can compare quality, communication, and output before fully migrating, and exit without penalty if it isn't a clear win.
