FAQ: Where do your Virtual Assistants come from?
Our Virtual Assistants (VAs) are sourced from the Philippines, a country known for its pool of highly skilled professionals. They have specialized backgrounds in the medical and US healthcare industries, which allows them to provide expert support tailored to your specific needs.
FAQ: Do US employment laws apply to virtual assistants?
No, US employment laws generally don’t apply to our virtual assistants (VAs) in the Philippines as they are independent contractors. We ensure compliance with Philippine laws by registering our VAs locally, providing benefits like HMOs, and adhering to local employment regulations.
FAQ: Are the VAs HIPAA trained? How do you ensure privacy & security since they are working from home?
Yes, our virtual assistants (VAs) undergo rigorous HIPAA training to ensure they are well-versed in handling sensitive medical information. To ensure privacy and security when working from home, we enforce strict remote work protocols, utilize secure communication tools, and conduct regular security audits, all in line with HIPAA regulations.

- Regular updates: Your VA will provide you with regular progress updates, status reports, and completed tasks to keep you informed.
- Time-Tracking tools: We utilize time-tracking software to monitor hours worked, ensuring accuracy and transparency.
- Communication channels: You can stay in touch with your VA through our communication platform allowing you to check in and discuss ongoing work.

FAQ: What happens if my VA is sick and cannot come to work?
If your VA is sick and unable to work, we treat it similarly to any other staff absence. While we understand your concern for privacy and HIPAA compliance, we do not provide immediate backup replacements due to these reasons. However, if the absence is expected to be longer than two weeks, we can start the process of finding you additional qualified candidates for a potential replacement, ensuring continuity of service while maintaining compliance with HIPAA regulations.

No, there are no hidden fees for our VA services. We believe in transparent pricing, and the costs associated with our services are clearly communicated upfront.
FAQ: What happens if this isn’t working out? Can I cancel or change my VA?
Yes, you have the flexibility to cancel our services at any time or request a change of VA if the current VA isn’t meeting your needs. Simply inform us of your decision, and we’ll assist you in making the necessary adjustments.
