Four steps to your dedicated virtual team member

01

Book a free consultation

Schedule a 20-minute call to discuss your specialty, workflows, EHR system, and the exact roles you need filled. There is no cost and no commitment.

We review your payer mix, patient volume, and current bottlenecks to recommend the right roles and headcount for your practice.

20 minutes
What to prepare
  • Have your EHR system name handy (Epic, athenahealth, Kareo, etc.).
  • Block 20 uninterrupted minutes on your calendar.
  • Note the tasks eating up your front-desk or clinical time.
02

Get matched in 24 hours

We select from our pool of specialty-trained virtual staff and send you your top candidate by the next business day.

Every candidate is pre-screened, HIPAA-certified, and trained in your specialty pod before you ever see their profile.

24 hours
What to prepare
  • Decide who on your team will review the candidate profile.
  • List the must-have skills for your specialty.
  • Confirm the weekly hours you want covered.

Interview your candidate

Meet your match in a live video call through the client dashboard. If the fit is not right, we send another candidate at no charge.

You control the interview. Ask about EHR experience, workflow scenarios, and communication style. Take as long as you need.
