What does a healthcare virtual assistant actually cost?

Every other answer to this question is written by a company selling the service. This one is a count. We read the public pages of 43 healthcare VA companies and recorded every rate they publish, with the sentence it came from and the date.

$9.97median of published hourly rates

$14.00highest published hourly rate

25/43publish no rate at all

The single most useful number on this page is the last one. 25 of 43 healthcare VA companies publish no price anywhere on their website — not per hour, per week, or per month. That is not a gap in our research; we list the pages we checked on every one of them. It is a fact about how this market sells, and it is the reason a page like this has to exist.

How the published hourly rates are spread

16 companies publish an hourly rate. Rates quoted per week or per month are excluded from this chart — converting them would mean assuming an hours-per-week figure the company never stated.

What the price does not tell you

Lock-in is nearly always denied — in the same words	0 of 43 publish a minimum term above zero. Many more say “no long-term contract”, which is not the same claim as “no minimum term”. We record the second only when a page says it.
A rate is not a total	Hours per week, holiday cover, replacement, and who pays when your assistant is sick all change the real number. Those columns are on the comparison page.
Cheap and compliant are separate questions	Of the 19 providers that mention a Business Associate Agreement, 13 describe an arrangement your practice is not a party to. Price tells you nothing about that.

The 25 that publish nothing

Each of these has a company page listing the exact pages we checked. Not publishing a rate is a legitimate choice — and it is also information.

Every figure on this page is quoted from the company’s own public website and dated. Nothing is estimated, averaged across sources, or converted between units. Last verified 2026-07-25. How we check.
