Healthcare Virtual Assistant Salary: What You Need to Know in 2025

As the healthcare industry increasingly leans into remote support, many providers are turning to virtual assistants (VAs) to streamline operations and improve patient care. At Compound Assistants, we specialize in providing skilled, college-educated, HIPAA-compliant virtual assistants at a flat rate, helping clinics and healthcare organizations get more done for less.

Whether you’re a solo practitioner, a clinic manager, or part of a growing healthcare organization, understanding the current landscape of healthcare virtual assistant salaries is key to making cost-effective, high-quality staffing decisions. A clear picture of the market not only empowers you to hire more effectively, but it also ensures that you’re getting optimal value for every dollar invested.

What Does a Healthcare Virtual Assistant Earn?

On average, healthcare VAs can earn:

• Hourly: $6 to $25/hour

• Monthly: $960 to $4,000+

• Annually: $11,500 to $48,000

  
  

At Compound Assistants, we offer experienced healthcare virtual assistants starting at just $9/hour—with no hidden fees—and our clients keep 100% of the revenue generated. This pricing model is designed to maximize ROI, giving you top-tier support at a fraction of traditional in-house staffing costs.

Full-Time vs. Part-Time Virtual Assistants

• Part-Time (10–20 hrs/week): Typically earns $400–$1,500/month

• Full-Time: Can earn up to $4,000/month, especially for U.S.-based or specialized roles

With Compound Assistants, most clients opt for full-time support to fully offload time-consuming admin and clinical coordination tasks. Our full-time VAs operate within your time zone, attend daily huddles, and integrate directly into your team’s workflow, offering the kind of continuity and reliability that many part-time setups lack.

Location-Based Salary Differences

Hiring offshore can dramatically reduce costs while still providing top-tier talent. Here’s a quick comparison:

Region	Hourly Rate	Notes
United States	$15–$30	Ideal for same-time-zone communication and specialized support
Philippines	$6–$12	English-fluent, healthcare-experienced, culturally aligned with U.S.
Latin America	$7–$13	Strong overlap with U.S. time zones, growing healthcare VA market
India	$5–$10	Affordable, technically skilled, strong back-office capabilities

Compound Assistants primarily sources VAs from the Philippines, ensuring fluency, cultural fit, and affordability. Many of our assistants come with backgrounds in medical billing, patient coordination, or nursing, and have worked extensively with U.S.-based healthcare providers.

Why Offshore Doesn’t Mean Lower Quality

Our VAs come with:

• Medical admin or nursing backgrounds

• HIPAA-compliant training

• Experience using EMRs, handling billing, and managing sensitive data

We use secure, cloud-based systems to ensure smooth, protected integration into your workflow. From verifying insurance to updating patient charts, our assistants are equipped to handle high-stakes administrative tasks without compromising security or efficiency.

Factors Influencing VA Salary

1. Region – U.S.-based VAs charge more due to cost of living

2. Supervision Level – Self-managed VAs command higher pay

3. Healthcare Specialty – Psychiatry, dermatology, cardiology often demand higher rates

4. Experience & Credentials – Medical billing, scribing, HIPAA certs boost compensation

   
   

These factors help determine the overall cost of your virtual staffing. With Compound Assistants, we evaluate your specific needs and match you with a VA who is appropriately skilled and priced.

How to Hire: Freelance vs. Agency vs. Managed Service

Hiring Model	Cost Range	Pros	Cons
Freelancers	$6–$20/hr	Flexible, good for short-term tasks	Time-consuming hiring, inconsistent quality
Agencies	$10–$25/hr	Pre-vetted, reliable for admin tasks	Limited selection, VAs not always available long-term
Managed Services	Flat monthly	Turnkey support, HIPAA compliance, scalable solutions	Requires monthly commitment

At Compound Assistants, we’re a managed service that combines the reliability of an agency with hands-on support and long-term performance. You get dedicated, full-time healthcare VAs starting at $1,499/month. Our approach ensures continuity, quality assurance, and direct communication — with none of the guesswork.
