Hire Online Administrative Assistants for Your Practice or Business
Administrative tasks are essential – but they shouldn’t consume your most productive hours. From managing emails and scheduling appointments to processing insurance claims and updating EMR records, the daily weight of office administration can quietly drain your team’s time and energy.
My Virtual Scribe connects you with trained, HIPAA-certified online administrative assistants who work remotely to handle your back-office operations – accurately, securely, and at just $10 per hour with no contracts and no setup fees.
Whether you run a medical practice, a small business, or a multi-provider group, our virtual office administrators are ready to integrate into your workflow from day one.
What Is a Virtual Office Administrator?
A virtual office administrator is a remote professional who manages the day-to-day administrative operations of a business or healthcare practice – without being physically present in your office. They handle tasks like scheduling, email management, data entry, billing coordination, insurance verification, and documentation through secure online systems.
Unlike a general freelancer, a trained online administrative assistant from My Virtual Scribe is vetted, background-checked, HIPAA-certified, and matched specifically to your workflow – giving you the reliability of an in-house employee at a fraction of the cost.
Why Businesses Choose Online Administrative Assistants Over In-House Staff
Hiring a full-time in-office administrator means paying for salary, benefits, equipment, office space, and onboarding time – often $25–$35/hour or more when total costs are factored in. And if that employee leaves, you’re back to square one.
Our online administrative assistants eliminate that overhead entirely. They work remotely through encrypted, secure systems, require no physical workspace, and can be onboarded in days – not weeks. You get consistent, professional support without the risks and costs of traditional hiring.
MVS goes further than standard VA services. Every assistant we place is:
- Healthcare-trained – experienced in medical terminology, EMR systems, and clinical workflows
- HIPAA-certified – compliant with federal regulations governing patient data
- Background-checked – cleared through the National Bureau of Investigation
- Matched to your workflow – selected based on your specialty, tools, and pace
What Can a Virtual Office Administrator Do for You?
Our virtual office administrators are capable of handling a wide range of front-office and back-office tasks, including:
Email & Calendar Management Sorting, responding to, and organizing your inbox. Scheduling appointments, setting reminders, and managing your calendar to keep your day running without interruption.
Billing, Invoicing & Collections Processing invoices, following up on outstanding payments, managing collections, and keeping your billing records clean and current.
Insurance Verification & Claims Support Verifying patient or client insurance eligibility, submitting claims, tracking outstanding insurance claims, and coordinating with payers to resolve issues quickly.
