St Louis has biotech, medicine and a long business history. A virtual assistant helps today's firms spend less time on routine work.
Virtual Assistant gives St Louis businesses a dedicated virtual assistant from $240 a month, working Central time. You choose the role and the hours, and a US account manager matches you within 1 to 3 business days.
Why St Louis businesses hire a virtual assistant
BJC HealthCare, Washington University, biotech firms at Cortex and financial firms such as Edward Jones anchor the economy. Advisors and practices have plenty of scheduling and paperwork to get through.
The roles St Louis businesses should hire first
Medical Virtual Assistant
Practices can hand off scheduling and verification.
Your front desk can breathe. Calls, scheduling and forms move off your in-office staff, so they can focus on the patients in front of them.
- Answer patient calls and portal messages
- Keep patient information complete
- Verify eligibility and benefits
- Follow up on unpaid and denied claims
Assistants do not give medical advice. Clinical decisions stay with your staff. Medical virtual assistant packages start at $300 a month for 20 hours. Hire a medical virtual assistant for your St Louis business.
Administrative Assistant
Advisors can hand off paperwork and CRM updates.
Small tasks stop piling up. Renewals, forms, follow-ups and filing get done on a schedule instead of waiting for a free afternoon that never comes.
- Follow up with people who have not replied
- Book meetings, send invites and handle reschedules
- Organize Google Drive, Dropbox or SharePoint with clear folders and names
- Chase unpaid invoices with polite reminders

Commitments do not slip. Your assistant tracks what you and your team promised, and follows up so you do not have to.
- Manage a complex calendar across time zones
- Gather the reports and documents you will need
- Draft replies and correspondence on your behalf
- Take care of personal tasks that can be done online

Why hire your St Louis assistant from Virtual Assistant
Your assistant works remotely and keeps Central time business hours, so your day and theirs line up. You get a person who learns your business, with a team behind them when something needs fixing.
- HIPAA-trained, with a BAA: Assistants complete HIPAA training, and we sign a Business Associate Agreement before they access protected health information.
- You keep control of your accounts: Delegated email access and a password vault mean you never hand over your main password.
- They work your hours: Your assistant works in your time zone, and evening coverage is available as an add-on.
- A dedicated assistant: You work with one person who learns your business, not whoever is free in a shared pool.
- Start in 1 to 3 business days: Most clients are matched within 1 to 3 business days of payment, or within 24 hours with rush onboarding.
- NDA and secure access: Every assistant signs an NDA, and logins go through a secure vault, never by email.
A virtual assistant or an in-house hire?
An in-house hire makes sense when the job needs someone physically on site. For work done on a screen or a phone, a virtual assistant usually costs far less, because you pay only for working hours, with no recruiting, desk, equipment or payroll taxes to arrange. You can also start with 20 hours a month and grow, instead of committing to a full-time salary before you know how much work there is.
