Average Cost of Medical Virtual Assistant per Month Statistics

Monthly VA cost depends on weekly hours, hourly rate, and whether the practice needs general administrative support or a specialized billing, prior authorization, or scribing role.

Monthly Cost Scenarios

Part-time support is often enough when the practice needs appointment reminders, eligibility checks, inbox triage, and basic follow-up. Full-time support becomes more relevant when the VA owns a daily worklist across billing, scheduling, and administrative tasks.

Planning Notes

Monthly cost should be compared with reclaimed physician time, improved collections, and avoided hiring overhead. The cheapest option can become expensive if the physician has to supervise every task.
