Evaluate Economical Choices

Have you been unable to hire help because you just can't afford it?  You can hire an entire team for less money than you'd pay a billing company to manage claims.  You can even chose to start part-time until needs grow. 

Reconsider Doing-It-Yourself

As an owner of a private practice, you have a lot on your plate.  You may feel you can handle it all, but at what expense?  Is feeling constantly overwhelmed what "self employment" means?  I promise you, it doesn't have to be.

Eliminate Fears of Hiring Abroad

Are you concerned about the legalities of hiring a worker abroad for your practice -- especially in regards to the need to follow U.S. based laws and regulations such as HIPAA?  I have answers for you! 

Change Everything You Thought About Private Practice

Virtual medical assistants are skilled and educated individuals that will change everything for you in your practice.  You can hire for $10/hour and provide ethical employment that can support an entire extended family.  There are people available for hire with every skillset -- website creation, education development, patient support, scribes, billers, credentialing companies.  Why give 8% of your income to a billing service when you could someone in-house that is dedicated only to your company?   Our course includes podcast video interviews with my current billing & support team so you can see -- these are incredibly competent individuals and direct hiring is viable for your practice!

Meet Your Instructor

Hi, I'm Maria!  I own Paperflower Psychiatry, which is a thriving private practice in Arizona. I understand the impact that running a private practice takes on your personal life.  I also know that most of us feel we can do it all -- personally, I'm recovering from the "I can do everything without delegating" mindset.  The best thing I ever did for my private practice was hiring VMAs from the Philippines and building an in-house support & billing team.  I've been working alongside Filipino VMAs for several years, and I'm here to share all of the secrets about how it works.
