Virtual Medical Staff for Private Practices
Virtual medical staff are HIPAA-trained, specialty-matched remote healthcare professionals who handle the administrative and clinical-support work of a private practice, from patient scheduling and prior authorization to medical scribing, billing, and care coordination. Staffing For Doctors places dedicated virtual medical staff at a flat $14 per hour, live within 48 hours, with no long-term contracts.
What is virtual medical staff?
Virtual medical staff are full-time, dedicated remote employees who work exclusively for your practice on US business hours. They are not call-center agents or shared assistants: each placement is trained in your specialty, credentialed in HIPAA, and onboarded on your specific EHR. Every placement works 40 hours per week as an extension of your in-office team.
Private practices that add virtual medical staff typically reduce overhead by 60–70% versus an in-house US hire, cut prior authorization turnaround from weeks to days, and free physicians from 10–20 hours of administrative work per week, time that goes back into patient care and revenue-generating encounters.
