Virtual Medical Staffing in New York
Staffing For Doctors is a virtual staffing agency placing virtual medical assistants in New York practices for a flat $14 per hour, live in 48 hours, no setup fee. Every New York placement is HIPAA and SHIELD Act trained, signs a New York-compliant Business Associate Agreement, and is built for the high-volume scheduling, prior authorization, and revenue cycle workloads of NYC, Long Island, Westchester, and Upstate practices.
Why New York practices choose virtual staffing
New York has more than 90,000 active physicians and one of the most expensive in-office labor markets in the country. A medical receptionist in Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Long Island runs $28 to $36 per hour fully loaded once benefits, payroll tax, paid time off, and turnover replacement are included. Virtual staffing closes the cost gap immediately.
Operational pressure in New York is also unusually high. A typical Manhattan internal medicine or specialty practice runs 200 to 350 patient calls per day, with peak hours that overwhelm any single in-office receptionist. A virtual scheduling team covering the same hours triples answered-call capacity at a lower total cost.
On the regulatory side, the New York SHIELD Act adds stricter data-security requirements on top of HIPAA. Our Business Associate Agreements include the SHIELD Act addenda New York payers and hospital systems expect to see, and every placement completes SHIELD Act training before they touch a New York chart.
