A Staffing For Doctors virtual medical assistant costs a flat $14 per hour for full-time (40 hours per week) coverage, which comes to approximately $2,425 per month or $29,120 per year. There are no setup fees, recruiting fees, or benefits overhead.

The calculator compares the flat Staffing For Doctors rate ($14/hr) against the all-in cost of an equivalent in-house US hire, which includes base salary, payroll taxes (approximately 8.5%), health benefits, PTO, recruiting costs, and equipment. Industry benchmarks from MGMA cost-of-employment data inform the default rates.
