Healthcare Virtual Assistant Roles

Hire a specialist for the exact function slowing your practice down, billing, prior authorization, insurance verification, intake, scheduling, and more.

A healthcare VA isn’t one job, it’s a category of specialists. A medical biller and a medical scribe solve completely different problems, and hiring the wrong one for your bottleneck just moves the backlog somewhere else. Below, find the role built for your specific function, see exactly what it solves, and go straight to the page built for that hire.

Featured Roles

The generalist option when your practice needs broad support rather than one narrow function; scheduling, EHR updates, billing follow-ups, and patient coordination all in one hire. Best for solo or small practices that can't yet justify splitting these tasks across multiple specialists.
Built for practices watching claims sit unpaid, denials pile up, or reimbursements slow down. A dedicated biller submits and tracks claims, applies correct CPT and ICD-10 coding, and follows up on denials so your revenue cycle keeps moving instead of stalling out.
For practices losing hours every week confirming coverage before appointments even happen. This specialist checks patient eligibility, benefits, and copay details ahead of each visit, cutting down on billing surprises and last-minute cancellations tied to coverage issues.
Solves the specific bottleneck of treatments, medications, or procedures stuck waiting on payer approval. This specialist submits and tracks authorization requests, follows up with payers, and keeps documentation organized so care isn't delayed by paperwork
For practices where the phones never stop and patients are left on hold. This specialist answers calls, schedules and confirms appointments, and manages day-to-day patient communication, functioning as your front desk without the front desk overhead.
For practices that need front-desk support they can trust with sensitive patient information from day one. Every HIPAA-trained receptionist is trained specifically on PHI handling and confidentiality standards before they take a single call, so compliance isn't something you have to build in after the fact.
Built for providers whose evenings disappear into charting instead of ending when the last patient leaves. A medical scribe documents encounters in real time or shortly after, keeping notes accurate and current so charting doesn't follow you home.

Frequently Asked Questions​

A Virtual Medical Assistant handles administrative work, scheduling, billing follow-ups, EHR updates, and patient coordination. A Medical Scribe does one specific thing very well: documenting patient encounters in real time or shortly after, so your chart notes stay accurate and current. If your bottleneck is admin work piling up, you want a VA. If it’s charting eating into your evenings specifically, you want a scribe.

For smaller practices, yes, a Virtual Medical Assistant or Healthcare Virtual Assistant can cover both. As volume grows, splitting these into a dedicated Medical Biller and a dedicated Virtual Medical Receptionist usually gets better results, since each role gets someone focused entirely on that function rather than switching between two different workflows all day.

Every role on this page follows the same pricing: $1,100 per month for part-time, $1,950 per month for full-time, all-in. No hourly surprises, no separate recruiting fees, and no different rate depending on which specialist you choose.
