"Honestly it was a godsend when we brought them in. You have taken a process that we were challenged with, we struggled, and once we got the little kinks figured out, you just run with it."
"It was amazing—patients and staff immediately noticed the difference. The phones were always answered, appointments stayed full, and my team in the office could focus on patients in front of them."

Everything You Need to Know About Medical Virtual Assistant
What is a Medical Virtual Assistant?
A medical virtual assistant (MVA) is a dedicated remote healthcare administrative professional who handles the non-clinical tasks that consume staff time—insurance verification, referral coordination, billing follow-up, patient communications, and general administrative support.
Unlike call center agents who handle one type of task, a medical virtual assistant becomes an integrated member of your team. They learn your practice, understand your workflows, and handle a wide range of responsibilities—just like an in-house administrative staff member, but working remotely.
My Business Care Team's medical virtual assistants are healthcare-trained professionals who understand medical terminology, insurance workflows, and practice operations. You get a dedicated person who knows your practice inside and out, not a rotating pool of agents who need to be brought up to speed on every interaction.
How Medical Virtual Assistants Work
Our medical virtual assistant service provides dedicated, long-term support for your practice:
Needs Assessment: We start by understanding your administrative pain points. What tasks consume the most time? Where are the bottlenecks? What would make the biggest impact if handled by someone else?
VA Matching: Based on your needs, we match you with a virtual assistant whose skills and experience align with your requirements. You're not getting whoever is available—you're getting someone selected specifically for your practice.
Dedicated Onboarding: Your VA is trained on your systems, workflows, and preferences before starting. They learn how you want things done, not just what needs to be done.
Integrated Operations: Your VA works during your business hours, participates in team communications, and becomes a true extension of your staff. They're accountable to you and invested in your practice's success.
Ongoing Management: We provide supervision, quality assurance, and continuous training. If issues arise, we address them. If your needs change, we adapt.
Who Benefits from Medical Virtual Assistants?
Medical virtual assistants are ideal for practices that need administrative support but want to avoid the costs and challenges of in-house hiring:
Solo and Small Practices: Hiring a full-time administrative employee is expensive when you factor in salary, benefits, payroll taxes, and overhead. A virtual assistant provides the same support at 50% of the cost.
Practices with Insurance-Heavy Workflows: If your team spends hours daily on benefits verification, prior authorizations, and claim follow-up, a dedicated VA can handle these tasks systematically and free your team for patient-facing work.
Practices Managing Referrals: Referral coordination is time-intensive and falls through the cracks when staff is busy. A VA can manage the entire referral workflow—sending, receiving, tracking, and following up.
Growing Practices: You need more help but aren't ready to commit to a full-time hire. A virtual assistant provides flexible capacity while you figure out your long-term staffing needs.
Multi-Location Operations: Centralize administrative functions across locations with dedicated VAs who can handle tasks for multiple sites efficiently.
Medical Virtual Assistant vs In-House Staff vs Offshore Freelancers
In-House Staff: Full-time employees provide physical presence and can handle tasks that require being on-site. But they're expensive (salary + benefits + overhead averages $45K+/year), subject to turnover, and limited to local talent pools.
Offshore Freelancers: Direct hiring of offshore workers is cheaper but comes with management burden, training responsibility, quality variability, and compliance risks. You save money but spend time managing.
Generic Virtual Assistant Services: Non-healthcare VAs can handle basic tasks but don't understand medical terminology, insurance workflows, or HIPAA requirements. They need constant guidance and can't handle healthcare-specific tasks independently.
My Business Care Team: Healthcare-trained VAs who understand your industry, managed and supervised by our team. You get the cost savings of remote staff without the management burden of direct offshore hiring. HIPAA-compliant, quality-assured, and dedicated to your practice.
