Doctors Who Chose Smart Support

Everything You Need to Know About Healthcare Virtual Assistants

Running a practice is more admin than medicine these days—follow-ups, billing, patient calls, insurance chaos. A Healthcare VA takes all that off your plate. Think of them as your off-site right hand—trained, reliable, and already used to how US clinics work.

What is a Healthcare Virtual Assistant?

A healthcare virtual assistant (VA) is a trained remote professional who supports doctors, clinics, and healthcare businesses with administrative, patient coordination, and medical support tasks. Unlike general VAs, healthcare VAs are familiar with HIPAA compliance, medical terminology, EMR/EHR software, and front desk operations—making them ideal for busy practices needing reliable, remote support.

How to Hire a Healthcare Virtual Assistant

1. Assess Your Needs

  • Identify routine tasks eating into patient time
  • List admin or non-clinical duties you want to outsource
  • Check coverage needs (weekdays, after-hours, etc.)
  • Prioritize HIPAA-compliant support

2. Define Required Skills

  • Experience with EMR/EHR tools (like Kareo, Athenahealth)
  • Understanding of medical terms and patient workflows
  • Phone etiquette and call handling
  • Prior healthcare background preferred

3. Evaluate Your Options

  • Agencies vs freelancers
  • Full-time vs part-time remote support
  • Time zone alignment for patient hours
  • Budget and scalability for long-term growth

Hiring through Wishup?

Here’s how simple we make it:

  1. Book a Free Consultation: Jump on a quick call with our onboarding expert to walk us through your clinic's needs.
  2. Get Matched with a Healthcare VA: We’ll shortlist the best-suited virtual assistants trained in healthcare tasks for your review.
  3. Start in 60 Minutes: Select your VA and get them started the same day with onboarding support.

How Much Does a Healthcare Virtual Assistant Cost?

Healthcare virtual assistants usually cost between $15–50/hour, depending on their experience, training, and country. Most clinics recover this cost in under a month with improved patient flow, fewer no-shows, and reduced front-desk pressure.

With Wishup, you get an aptitude-tested, highly qualified, top-notch healthcare virtual assistant starting from just $9.99/hour.
