Virtual Assistants for Mental Health and Therapy Practices

Solo therapists and group practices run on admin that nobody trained for: intake calls, superbills, insurance follow-up and a waitlist that needs working. Our MedicalVirtual assistants handle it from Latin America on your clinic hours, with HIPAA training completed before kick-off and prior experience supporting US behavioral health practices.

How hiring works

Tell us what is falling behind

A short call to map your caseload, your EHR, your payer mix and which part of the admin is costing you the most.

Receive a matched shortlist

A placement specialist matches assistants who have already supported US therapy practices, then sends you a shortlist worth reading rather than a database to search.

Meet the candidates, test practical knowledge, and choose who fits your clinic and communication style.

Onboard with confidence

You interview and make the hire yourself. We handle the in-country contract, payroll and compliance, and your assistant starts with HIPAA training complete.

Build a more responsive behavioral health practice

Behavioral health admin is its own discipline. Sessions are recurring rather than one-off, superbills matter more than claims for out-of-network clients, and the first call a prospective client makes is often the only one they will make. Our MedicalVirtual assistants have worked inside US therapy practices and know that difference.

From task to handoff

A practical workflow for your mental health and therapy virtual assistant

Start with a defined queue, an approved process and a named reviewer. These examples help you decide what to delegate and what a completed task should contain.

WorkstreamRemote supportExpected handoff
Recurring-session schedulingFollow the practice’s documented workflow, confirm required information and record the next action.A current task record with missing information and escalation owner clearly identified.
Intake completionFollow the practice’s documented workflow, confirm required information and record the next action.A current task record with missing information and escalation owner clearly identified.
Benefit checks and referral trackingFollow the practice’s documented workflow, confirm required information and record the next action.A current task record with missing information and escalation owner clearly identified.

Where responsibility stays: Define urgent-message escalation and access restrictions for sensitive records. Clinical assessment and crisis response remain with the clinical team.

Plan your budget

How much does remote medical staffing cost?

MedicalVirtual staffing starts at $10 per hour. The agreed rate depends on the role, experience and schedule. Direct hire and built-team engagements are quoted separately.

Hours budgeted per weekWeekly at $10/hourAverage month at $10/hour
20 hours$200About $867
40 hours$400About $1,733

Illustrative calculations, not package quotes: hourly rate × weekly hours × 52 ÷ 12. Actual invoices follow your agreed rate, billable hours and contract. Availability and minimum schedules are confirmed when quoted. Include any additional software seats or practice-side costs in your budget.

See staffing, direct hire and team pricing →

Which systems will the assistant use?

Your EHR, practice-management system, phone platform and approved messaging channels. Candidate experience varies: share your software, specialty and payer mix so we can assess the actual match.

Use individual accounts and permissions appropriate to the work. Your practice approves access, provides its procedures and names the person who handles exceptions.

How should you measure the work?

Choose a baseline for the queue you delegate: unanswered calls, incomplete intake, pending authorizations, unsigned notes or unworked claims. Review quality and turnaround together.

Agree the definitions and review a sample of completed work during onboarding. Set targets from your own baseline; results depend on workload, staffing and practice processes.

Ready for the first working day

What should you prepare before hiring?

  1. Define the workload. Share weekly volume, required hours, language needs, software and the tasks that stay with your team.
  2. Assess the actual role. Interview shortlisted candidates and use de-identified examples to check the skills your workflow requires.
  3. Set up approved access. Complete HIPAA training and the BAA before PHI access, then configure individual accounts and practice-approved communication channels.
  4. Start with a supervised queue. Provide scripts, task checklists, an escalation contact and a review process before expanding responsibilities.

Matching and onboarding time depend on the specialty, candidate availability and your access setup. Agree a realistic start date after the role is scoped.

HIPAA training alone does not establish compliance. Contracts, administrative procedures and technical safeguards must work together. Read the HHS guidance on business associates and HIPAA Security Rule safeguards.
