HIPAA-Compliant Virtual Medical Assistants for Clinics
A HIPAA-compliant virtual medical assistant is a dedicated, remote staff member who works inside your clinic's EHR to handle billing, scheduling, patient coordination, and documentation while protecting PHI under a signed Business Associate Agreement. Staffing For Doctors places HIPAA-trained virtual medical assistants at a flat $14 per hour, live in 48 hours, on encrypted devices with annual HIPAA training and a BAA signed before any patient data is touched.
Every assistant signs a Business Associate Agreement and completes annual HIPAA training before touching PHI.
Versus a fully-loaded in-office hire at $22 to $28 per hour all-in, with no benefits or equipment overhead.
Interview vetted candidates, sign the BAA, provision EHR access, and your assistant is working on day two.
