How it works

From first call to fully onboarded in weeks

1

Tell us what your practice needs

Share your specialty, workflows, and the tasks you want off your team's plate. We build a role around it.

2

Meet your matched VA on a video call

Interview your matched assistant and see the fit for yourself before you commit to anything.

3

Two-week supervised onboarding

Your VA trains inside your own systems with supervision, so they're productive from week one.

Services

Everything your front and back office needs

Appointment Scheduling

Keep your calendar full and accurate. Your VA books, confirms, and reschedules while reducing no-shows.

Insurance Eligibility Verification

Verify coverage and benefits before every visit. Fewer surprises at the front desk and cleaner claims.

Prior Authorization Support

Submit and track prior auths end to end. Your VA understands the clinical context behind each request.

Chart Preparation

Charts ready before the patient arrives. Labs, imaging, and history organized for an efficient visit.

Fax & Inbox Management

Tame the fax line and shared inboxes. Messages triaged, routed, and actioned the same day.

Patient Communication

Warm, professional patient outreach for reminders, follow-ups, and portal messages in your voice. Bilingual English-Amharic when needed.

Bilingual Support

Bridge language gaps with English-speaking VAs who also bring Amharic fluency. Useful for patient families, staff coordination, and clear documentation.

Why Ethiopia

A genuinely different kind of VA

Medical knowledge

Our VAs are medical graduates who understand why the doctor ordered the test — not generic call-center staff.

The time zone advantage

Ethiopia is 7–8 hours ahead of US Eastern time, so our staff work your morning during their afternoon. No exhausted night shifts.

Bilingual & culturally fluent

English-first communication with Amharic fluency when it helps. Our VAs can navigate patient families, staff requests, and multicultural contexts with ease.

Rigorous selection

Fewer than 1 in 10 applicants pass our English, typing, and reliability screening before training even begins.

Compliance

Built for HIPAA from day one

Business Associate Agreement

A signed BAA with every client, before any work begins.

Annual HIPAA certification

Every VA is HIPAA certified and recertified every year.

Work inside your systems

All work is performed inside your own systems, so patient data never leaves your environment.

Cyber liability insured

We carry cyber liability insurance for added peace of mind.

Our team

Built by IMGs inside the US healthcare system

Ethiopian-American international medical graduates, united by firsthand experience across different departments of American healthcare.

We know the pressure on US practices because we work within the system. We also know the depth of Ethiopia's medical talent. MedAssist brings those perspectives together to prepare clinically fluent VAs who become trusted members of each practice team.
