Question 1

Will a remote VA violate patient privacy rules?

Accepted Answer

No, our VAs go through 8 weeks of mandatory training, ensuring they are compliance aware. Plus, encrypted tools, role-based access, audits, and a dedicated VA manager add another layer of privacy. A properly set up remote VA can be just as compliant as in-office staff.

Question 2

How quickly can I get a VA onboarded and working?

Accepted Answer

Once you tell us your requirements, we’ll share appropriate VA profiles in a few minutes. After you select and approve one, they’re onboarded in an hour, so you can start delegating tasks right away.

Question 3

Can I interview medical transcriptionist before committing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You get unlimited free interviews until you find someone you trust. We want you to feel confident about the match before we fully finalize.

Question 4

What if my assigned VA is sick, leaves, or quits?

Accepted Answer

You won’t be left stranded. We provide backup coverage so your work doesn’t stall. Another trained VA steps in during such gaps to keep tasks moving.

Question 5

How are your medical transcriptionist different from freelancers?

Accepted Answer

Our medical transcriptionists are not freelancers. They are vetted, supervised, trained, and part of a managed team, not someone you fend for on your own. That means consistency, accountability, scaling, and support behind each transcriber.

Question 6

What tools and systems are your medical transcriptionist trained on?

Accepted Answer

They’re pre-trained on 120+ industry and AI tools, including EHRs, scheduling and billing systems, communication tools, analytics, and workflow platforms. That means less time spent teaching and more time doing.

Question 7

Will I need to invest in new software for the medical transcription to use?

Accepted Answer

Usually not. Our medical transcriptionist adapts to your existing tool stack. If a tool is uncommon, we can train on that too; part of our prep ensures compatibility. You don’t have to change just to accommodate.

Question 8

How much does a Wishup medical transcriptionist cost?

Accepted Answer

It depends on complexity, tasks, and experience.

With Wishup, rates can start as low as US$15/hour. Our Kickstart Plan gives you 4 hours/day at around US$1299/month. For heavier needs, the Growth Engine Plan includes 8 hours/day plus 30 seats in our AI office management app (a US$299/month value) for just US$1999/month.

Question 9

Is there a minimum commitment or contract length?

Accepted Answer

No. You are free to adjust or cancel. We don’t lock you into long contracts because we want your work to speak for itself, not bind you.

Question 10

What happens if I’m not satisfied with the medical transcriptionist performance?

Accepted Answer

We take your satisfaction seriously. You can request replacements or additional interview rounds until you’re confident in the match.

Question 11

Can the medical transcriptionist help with billing, claims, and insurance tasks?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our healthcare medical transcriptionists are trained to verify insurance, submit claims, follow up on denials, reconcile payments, and coordinate with payers. They handle a good amount of your revenue cycle operations.

Question 12

How do you measure and ensure the quality of work?

Accepted Answer

We use a 6-step vetting process, ongoing quality checks, manager reviews, SOP checks, and client feedback via success managers. We don’t just set and forget; we monitor and adjust.

Question 13

Can a medical transcription match my clinic’s working hours in Australia?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A medical transcriptionist in the UK can match your clinic’s hours with ease. They follow your local schedule to manage patient coordination, billing updates, and admin support without time gaps or workflow breaks.

Question 14

What do I need to provide before the medical transcription starts working?

Accepted Answer

You’ll need to share your task list, workflows, access credentials (with restrictions), tools you use, and any compliance policies. We’ll handle training and embedding your processes.

Question 15

Can workload spikes or seasonal changes be handled easily?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can scale your medical transcription hours up or add another VA quickly. We make scaling flexible so you don’t struggle during high-demand periods.

Question 16

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Just tell us your requirements, tasks, hours, tools, and volume. We’ll match, you interview, we onboard, and you begin delegating. It’s simple and designed for healthcare practices.

Question 17

How can a healthcare medical transcription benefit my practice?

Accepted Answer

A healthcare medical transcriptionist streamlines operations and saves time. They handle tasks like scheduling, follow-up calls, paperwork, and insurance processing, which reduces the workload on in-house staff. In practice, clinics using Wishup’s VAs have recovered thousands of missed appointments and saved 20+ hours of admin work per provider each week. This means fewer missed appointments, faster billing cycles, and more time for clinicians to see patients. In short, VAs boost efficiency and patient satisfaction while lowering costs.

Question 18

What healthcare specialties do Wishup VAs support?

Accepted Answer

Wishup’s VAs have experience across many medical specialties. We provide healthcare support for dermatology, therapy, dental practices, veterinary, orthopedics, optometry, and more. We match VAs to dentists, therapists, plastic surgeons, dermatologists, optometrists, pediatricians, gastroenterologists, chiropractors, and other fields. In other words, whether you run a small clinic, dental office, mental health practice, or veterinary practice, we have VAs familiar with your workflows. Overall, leaders from 50+ industries (including healthcare) trust Wishup, so you can be confident we serve diverse specialties.

Question 19

Are Wishup’s healthcare VAs based in Canada or offshore?

Accepted Answer

Wishup hires talent in India, but “Canada-trained” VAs are available for Canadian clients. In practice, your VA will be located in India, but they are trained on Canadian business practices and privacy laws. They work your time zone (e.g., Eastern Time) and support Eastern business hours as needed. The benefit is cost savings: you get a skilled assistant familiar with Canadian healthcare norms (like PHIPA/PIPEDA) without the overhead of a local hire.

Question 20

Do healthcare virtual assistant reduce appointment no-shows?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A key service of medical VAs is patient reminders. Wishup VAs can automate phone calls, emails, or texts confirming appointments. By sending timely reminders, clinics dramatically cut no-shows. One of our Wishup clients recovered 3,000+ missed appointments with reminder workflows, saving over 20 hours of admin work per week. In short, VAs help fill your schedule and protect revenue by ensuring patients show up or reschedule.

Question 21

Can a healthcare virtual assistant handle medical billing and coding tasks?

Accepted Answer

Healthcare virtual assistants (VAs) can handle much of the medical billing process. They can assist with insurance verification, claims submission and tracking, payment posting, and accounts reconciliation.
We also provide revenue cycle management (RCM) and medical billing support as part of our services. Our VAs are certified coders with a strong grasp of billing workflows and hands-on experience using practice management software such as Athena and Kareo.
By managing claim follow-ups and entering payments accurately, VAs can help speed up your billing cycle by up to 40%. More specialized coding decisions can remain under the healthcare provider’s oversight, while the VA ensures claims are submitted correctly and tracked efficiently through resolution.

Question 22

What is a healthcare virtual assistant?

Accepted Answer

A healthcare virtual assistant (VA) is a trained remote professional who handles administrative and support tasks for medical practices. For example, Wishup’s healthcare VAs manage appointment coordination, patient intake and insurance data, billing operations, reminders, and other routine practice admin. They can transcribe clinical notes, update EHRs, and organize charts and forms. By offloading these duties, the VA frees up doctors and nurses to focus on patient care.

Question 23

What healthcare specialties do Wishup VAs support?

Accepted Answer

Wishup’s VAs have experience across many medical specialties. We match VAs to dentists, therapists, plastic surgeons, dermatologists, optometrists, pediatricians, gastroenterologists, chiropractors, and other fields. In other words, whether you run a small clinic, dental office, mental health practice, or veterinary practice, Wishup has VAs familiar with your Canadian practice workflows. Overall, leaders from 50+ industries (including healthcare) trust Wishup, so you can be confident they serve diverse specialties.

Question 24

Is Wishup a transcription company or a staffing partner?

Accepted Answer

Wishup provides transcription support and the operational layer around it—intake, formatting, QA checkpoints, and delivery—so your practice gets consistent clinical documents without relying on single-person dependency.

Question 25

How do you handle UK GDPR and patient confidentiality?

Accepted Answer

We follow a least-privilege access model, confidentiality agreements, and defined retention/deletion processes. You stay in control of what’s shared, who can access it, and how long it’s retained.

Question 26

How do you ensure accuracy with medications and numbers?

Accepted Answer

We use structured templates, consistency checks (names/dates/doses), and a “do not guess” rule—unclear segments are flagged for clinician confirmation.

Question 27

Do you support GP referrals and private clinic letters?

Accepted Answer

Yes, templates are configured for your referral style, letterhead requirements, and section headings, so output is consistent across clinicians.

Question 28

What happens if the audio quality is poor or there are strong accents?

Accepted Answer

We flag uncertainty rather than guessing, recommend simple recording best practices, and can agree expectations for challenging audio upfront.

Question 29

Can you match our exact templates and formatting?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We build template packs and standard headings, including clinician-specific preferences where needed.

Question 30

Who owns the data and where is it stored?

Accepted Answer

You remain the data controller for patient information. Storage/transfer should be defined in the processing terms and your retention policy.

Question 31

Are all your medical transcribers in the Australia?

Accepted Answer

No Wishup provides trained VAs who can align to your UK hours and UK practice processes.

Question 32

How are Wishup’s medical transcriptionists trained for Australian Clinicians?

Accepted Answer

At Wishup, we recruit only highly qualified transcriptionists. Each one completes a rigorous 6-step vetting process (medical knowledge, language skills, aptitude tests). Once on board, they receive additional training in Australian clinical terminology and our clients’ preferred styles. We also run regular refresher courses, so our team stays current with new treatments and terms.

Question 33

What tools and technologies do you use?

Accepted Answer

We use industry-leading transcription software and AI-assisted tools to improve speed and accuracy. For example, our medical transcribers are trained on 120+ tools, including Scribie, Dragon Medical dictation, and secure workflow platforms. All file transfers are encrypted, and we can integrate with your existing dictation devices or cloud systems. You keep your preferred templates and EHR formats, and our VAs simply populate them.

Question 34

Do you have support for Australian clinicians?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We provide dedicated account managers who understand Australian practice needs. Our support team is available to you by chat, email, or phone during Australian business hours (and beyond). We even have VAs working AEST/AEDT hours (see our service in the Sydney time zone), so you can have real-time collaboration. If any issue arises, your account manager will coordinate its resolution promptly.

Question 35

How is pricing structured?

Accepted Answer

We use a transparent pricing model. For ongoing work, we support our clients with a monthly plan (starting at roughly US$1,299/mo), which covers a set volume of transcription.

Question 36

What about price escalations or extra charges?

Accepted Answer

We believe in predictable costs. There are no sudden escalations unless your volume increases significantly. If you need additional services (like overnight turnarounds or complex formatting), we’ll agree on any extra charges upfront.

Question 37

How do you handle escalations or issues?

Accepted Answer

If a problem comes up (e.g., a missing transcript or quality concern), your first contact is your account manager. We have clear escalation paths: within Wishup, managers and the customer success team step in if needed. For urgent issues, we promise a response within hours. Our processes allow us to pivot quickly (e.g., reassign work to another VA immediately) to resolve any bottleneck.

Question 38

What kind of file formats do you support?

Accepted Answer

We accept virtually any audio format (MP3, WAV, M4A, etc.) and can output transcripts in Word, PDF, plain text, or direct EHR entries. We can even handle encrypted or password-protected dictation files if needed. Whatever your clinic’s system requires, Wishup’s VAs will adhere to it.

Question 39

Do you sign contracts and NDAs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We will execute standard service agreements that specify privacy and compliance terms, including non-disclosure clauses. In Australia, our contracts explicitly reference compliance with the Privacy Act (APPs) and any specific data handling rules you stipulate. NDAs are signed by every transcriptionist working on your files, as we do company-wide
