Ataraxis helps healthcare practices hire a full-time virtual assistant in 2 weeks or less.

Whether this is your first offshore hire or you're expanding an existing remote team, we handle the sourcing and vetting so you can stay focused on patient care.

Our team has a high bar and a proven process that we use to find the best virtual assistants for healthcare providers:

No more revolving door hires.

Our Anti-Job Hopper Filter screens out anyone with a history of jumping from job to job every few months. Every candidate we send you has a track record of staying put and actually growing with a company, not just using it as a pit stop.

You'll actually be able to understand them.

We use what we call the One-Repeat Rule. If our recruiters have to ask a candidate to repeat themselves more than once during the interview, they’re out. Period. Your clients, customers, and team deserve someone who communicates clearly and confidently every time.

They can't fake their way through our tests.

Our AI-Proof Assessment is built so candidates have to show real, hands-on experience, not just copy-paste a ChatGPT answer. We make them prove they know their stuff before they ever get in front of you.

We narrow it down so you don't have to.

After all that vetting, we hand you 3 to 4 of the best candidates to choose from. No sifting through a pile of resumes, just a few solid people who’ve already passed the hard part.

Billing is simple, and the paperwork isn't your problem.

Once you hire, you’ll get a monthly Stripe invoice, that’s it. All the compliance, contracts, and back-end paperwork are handled by Ataraxis so you can stay focused on running your business.

What our customers say

Black woman, doctor and worried with tablet at hospital on internet for busy schedule and appointment. Female person, employee and stress at clinic for telehealth with bad reviews or patient feedback
THE PROBLEM

Too Much Admin, Too Little Time

Your clinic’s workflow depends on accurate, timely updates.

But when your staff is buried in claims tracking, charting, and billing follow-up, documentation slips, reimbursements slow down, and patient care takes the hit.

Even a strong in-house team has a ceiling. In-house staff costs keep climbing, and burnout is real. An eClinicalWorks Virtual Assistant takes on the documentation, billing, and patient coordination workload inside eCW, so your clinical staff can get back to what matters most: quality care.

Why HIPAA Compliance Is Non-Negotiable When Hiring Virtually

Bringing on a remote team member in a healthcare setting is not the same as hiring a virtual assistant for a retail business. The moment someone accesses a patient’s PHI (protected health information), whether that’s pulling up a chart in eClinicalWorks, confirming an appointment, or routing a billing message to a provider, HIPAA applies. Full stop.

At Ataraxis, every eClinicalWorks Virtual Assistant signs a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) before day one. They’re trained on HIPAA requirements and PHI handling best practices, work through secure, encrypted connections, and follow access protocols that limit PHI exposure to only what’s needed for the task at hand. Your practice remains the covered entity. We make sure your virtual staff holds up their end of the obligation.

This is not a checkbox exercise. It’s how we protect your patients, your license, and your practice.

  • Clear, professional communication with patients across calls, portal messages, and email.
  • Working knowledge of HIPAA requirements and PHI handling protocols.

Junior eClinicalWorks Virtual Assistant

A Junior eClinicalWorks Virtual Assistant typically has 0–2 years of experience and handles essential administrative duties such as new-patient registration, appointment scheduling, and basic chart updates inside eCW. They are familiar with core eCW navigation, medical terminology, and HIPAA compliance requirements.

A good fit for solo practitioners or small practices that need reliable support for scheduling, data entry, and routine patient communication. Works best with defined SOPs and regular check-ins from a supervising clinician or practice manager.

With 2–5 years of experience, a Mid-Level eClinicalWorks Virtual Assistant manages a broader range of responsibilities, including insurance verification, claims submission, prior authorization support, and referral coordination inside eCW.

What are the best regions to hire a virtual assistant from?

When you’re ready to hire a virtual assistant, the best location depends on the mix of cost, language skills, time-zone overlap, and talent depth your business needs. Here’s a quick tour of the best regions, each with clear advantages and a few trade-offs, to help you decide where to hire a virtual assistant who fits your workflow.

We created the Global Outsourcing Talent Index, a data-backed audit of all 193 UN-recognized countries scored across five variables: labor cost, English proficiency, talent availability, digital infrastructure, and political stability.

The results were eye opening and are frequently cited by major news sites and industry blogs all over the world.

The Philippines

Pros:

It’s no surprise that many healthcare providers choose to hire a Filipino virtual assistant. Candidates from this region have strong English proficiency, familiarity with western business culture, and experience working for U.S. clients. 24/7 support is also easy because night-shift work is common.

This region excels in customer service, lead generation, virtual assistance, data entry, bookkeeping, medical billing, and healthcare administrative support. 

Cons:

Increasing demand for Filipino VAs is slowly pushing wages up and internet outages during typhoon season occasionally interrupt service. 

*Ataraxis virtual assistants from this region have power and internet backups to minimize service interruption and are willing to work in your time zone. 

Latin America (Colombia, Argentina, etc.)

Pros:

Near-shore time zones mean you can hire a virtual assistant who works the same hours as your U.S. team, reducing lag on urgent tasks. Businesses with a large Spanish-speaking customer base may also benefit from hiring bilingual virtual assistants. 

This region excels in sales development, business development, digital marketing, customer success, and account management. 

Cons:

Hourly rates are much higher and the talent pool is much smaller compared to the Philippines and other regions.

South Africa

Pros:

Highly educated, English-first workforce with a neutral accent, which is a big plus for phone-based support, especially for U.K. and Australian companies. South Africa overlaps with U.S. mornings and U.K. afternoons, which is ideal for trans-Atlantic operations.

This region excels in virtual assistance, healthcare administrative support, sales development, business development, digital marketing, customer success, content moderation, and account management.

Cons:

Cost of talent sits between Latin America and the Philippines, trimming, but not eliminating, cost savings.

East Africa

Pros:

Rapidly growing BPO sector that is less competitive compared to the Philippines and Latin America. Top candidates from this region have accents that are almost indistinguishable from U.S. based staff. 

This region excels in virtual assistance, executive assistance, software engineering, accounting, data entry, social media management, and business development. 

Cons:

Infrastructure and internet reliability still improving outside major hubs.

The Caribbean (Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago)

Pros:

Near-shore location for U.S companies delivers real-time collaboration for East-Coast teams and fluent English support. Very competitive operating costs versus onshore hires.

This region excels in customer service, BPO call centers, healthcare claims, technical support, and help desk support.

Cons:

Smaller population means fewer specialised VAs, so scaling a large team may be harder. Hourly rates trend closer to Latin American levels given limited supply.

Eastern Europe (Poland, Bulgaria, Romania)

Pros:

Countries in this region are well-known for high education levels and strong work ethic. Arguably, the deepest talent pools for technical roles and has an ideal time zone overlap for European companies. 

This region excels in software engineering, quality assurance, DevOps, data analytics, and other technical roles. 

Cons:

Costs are much higher than the Philippines, East Africa, and time zone differences may be a bigger obstacle for U.S. companies.

How to hire an eClinicalWorks virtual assistant

Hiring your first

eClinicalWorks

virtual assistant is perfectly doable on your own, but most business owners underestimate the hours it takes to sift through resumes, schedule calls, and run multiple interview rounds. Research shows that the DIY path typically drags on for weeks (or months), involves several interviews, and can still lead to mis-hires if you rush the vetting stage.

Here's a step-by-step guide: 
1
Map out your tasks

List everything you want your virtual assistant  to own and create detailed instructions. Clarifying scope upfront helps with long term retention and minimizes confusion. 

2
Set your budget and hours

Having a set schedule helps create structure and consistency. 

3
Create a job description

Write a descriptive JD with required experience, KPIs, schedule expectations, etc. 

4
Find and screen virtual assistant candidates

Post your job description to virtual assistant websites and craft a recruitment message you can use to reach out to candidates directly.  

5
First round interviews

Expect to screen 40-100 candidates to find your ideal virtual assistant.

6
Skills test

Give 2-3 finalist candidates a short take-home assignment to test their attention-to-detail, responsiveness, and work product. 

7
Culture and reference checks

A bad hire can cost up to 50% of first-year pay, so doing your due diligence is cheap insurance. 

8
Sign contract and start onboarding

Draft an employment or contractor agreement, include an NDA, and grant tool access.
