Common Questions

What do doctors most often ask before booking?

The questions doctors ask us most, pricing, HIPAA, onboarding, and how matching works.

How quickly can I get a virtual assistant onboarded?
Virtual medical assistant onboarding is a 48-hour process that places a dedicated, specialty-trained team member live in your practice within two business days of contract signing. Specialty roles may take up to 5 business days for the perfect match.
How much does it cost?
Staffing For Doctors pricing is a flat $14 per hour for full-time coverage that replaces a $30+/hour in-house hire. No setup fees, no minimums, no hidden charges.
Do I sign a long-term contract?
A Staffing For Doctors engagement is a month-to-month agreement with a 30-day notice period that lets you scale or end coverage without locking into a long-term contract. We earn your business every month.
Are your assistants HIPAA trained?
A Staffing For Doctors virtual medical assistant is HIPAA-certified before day one, signs an annual BAA, and works on encrypted devices with role-based access and audit logs. Every assistant completes mandatory HIPAA certification and annual refreshers, and we sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with every practice.
How does virtual medical assistant matching work?
Virtual medical assistant matching is a 20-minute discovery-call process that surfaces specialty-trained candidates from our pool based on your specialty, EHR, hours, and workflow. Your top candidate is sent through the client dashboard within 24 hours.
How does this compare to a US hire?
A Staffing For Doctors virtual hire is a flat-rate placement that costs 60 to 70% less than an equivalent in-house US employee once payroll taxes, benefits, PTO, and recruiting costs are factored in. Most practices save 60 to 70% versus an in-house hire.
What if my assistant isn't a good fit?
A Staffing For Doctors replacement is a same-week, no-charge swap that pairs your practice with a new specialty-trained candidate when the original placement is not the right fit. We also run weekly QA reviews to make sure your team is performing.
