How much can I save with a virtual medical assistant?

Most US medical practices save $32,000 to $45,000 per year per assistant by switching to a Staffing For Doctors virtual medical assistant. The flat $14/hr rate replaces an all-in in-house cost of roughly $28 to $40/hr (salary, payroll taxes, benefits, PTO, recruiting, and overhead), delivering a 60 to 70% reduction in admin staffing spend with no setup fees and no long-term contracts.
