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
Region – U.S.-based VAs charge more due to cost of living
Supervision Level – Self-managed VAs command higher pay
Healthcare Specialty – Psychiatry, dermatology, cardiology often demand higher rates
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.
