Where do your Virtual Assistants come from?
Our Virtual Medical Assistants are based in the Philippines, home to a highly skilled and experienced healthcare workforce. Each VMA has a strong background in the medical field and U.S. healthcare, enabling them to provide reliable, knowledgeable support tailored to your practice’s unique workflows, specialty, and administrative needs.
What types of healthcare practices do you serve?

Our experienced Virtual Medical Assistants work with primary care, psychiatry, dermatology, dental, pediatrics, specialty clinics, telehealth providers, and more. We match each Virtual Medical Assistant to your practice’s unique workflow, helping improve efficiency, reduce administrative tasks, and enhance patient care.
Are your Virtual Medical Assistants HIPAA trained? How do you protect patient privacy and data security?
Yes. All VMeDx Virtual Medical Assistants receive HIPAA training and follow strict protocols for handling protected health information (PHI). We maintain high standards for privacy and security through secure remote work practices, encrypted communication tools, access controls, and ongoing compliance monitoring. This ensures your patient data remains protected while our HIPAA Compliant Virtual Medical Assistants provide reliable support for your practice.
How do I know if my Virtual Medical Assistant is actually working?
To ensure your VMA is actively working on your tasks, we provide several mechanisms:
- Regular updates: Your VMA 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.
How does the onboarding process work?
Typically, onboarding takes 30 minutes or less, depending on how quickly you complete the registration process, provide your billing information, and sign the Client Services Agreement. Once everything is received, we can begin the matching process right away.
Grow Your Practice with Dedicated Virtual Medical Assistants
How long does it take to hire a Virtual Medical Assistant?
The hiring process begins with a consultation to understand your practice’s needs and the type of Virtual Medical Assistant you’re looking for. We then carefully match you with qualified candidates, provide recommendations, and coordinate interviews so you can evaluate each candidate. Once you’ve selected the best fit, we handle the onboarding process to ensure a smooth and seamless start.
What happens if this isn’t working out? Can I cancel or change my VMA?
Yes, you have the flexibility to cancel our services at any time or request a change of VMA if the current VMA isn’t meeting your needs. Simply inform us of your decision, and we’ll assist you in making the necessary adjustments.
Can I interview my Virtual Medical Assistant before hiring?
Yes. We believe choosing the right Virtual Medical Assistant is essential. That’s why we provide a shortlist of carefully matched candidates and coordinate interviews, giving you the opportunity to assess their skills, experience, and communication style before making an informed hiring decision.
Can your Virtual Medical Assistants work with our existing software?
Yes. Our goal is to match you with a Virtual Medical Assistant who is already experienced with your existing EHR, EMR, practice management software, or other healthcare platforms whenever possible. If direct experience isn’t available, we carefully select candidates with experience using similar systems, allowing them to adapt quickly and minimizing the time your team spends on training.
Staff Your Practice with Experienced Virtual Medical Assistants
Are your virtual medical assistants dedicated to our practice only once hired?
Yes. Once hired, your Virtual Medical Assistant is dedicated exclusively to your practice during their scheduled working hours. This allows them to become familiar with your workflows, systems, and team, providing consistent support and serving as a seamless extension of your practice.
