Fractional talent · Healthcare

Fractional support built for healthcare operations

Healthcare practices and health-focused businesses run on tight margins, strict compliance requirements, and staff who are already stretched thin. When administrative work piles up: prior authorizations, referral coordination, inbox triage, credentialing paperwork, it pulls clinical and operational staff away from patient-facing work. Nacho connects you with US-based assistants who understand the pace and precision healthcare admin demands.

What does a Virtual Assistant do for healthcare providers?

Nacho matches healthcare providers with vetted, 100% US-based Executive Assistants and Specialists who own the recurring work week after week, not one-off tasks. You start with a $300 Delegation Strategy Plan, set a monthly Talent Budget from $1,000, and we match you in about a week.

The challenge

Common challenges for healthcare providers

01

Administrative Overload on Clinical Staff

When front desk or clinical coordinators are buried in scheduling, faxes, and insurance follow-ups, patient experience suffers. These tasks don't require a clinical license, they require reliability and attention to detail.

02

Credentialing and Payer Enrollment Backlogs

Provider credentialing and re-credentialing with insurance panels is time-consuming and deadline-sensitive. Delays directly impact revenue, but the work is too detail-heavy to hand off without structure.

03

Patient Communication Gaps

Appointment reminders, recall outreach, portal message follow-ups, and no-show management fall through the cracks when your team is managing patient volume. These touchpoints affect retention and reputation.

04

Billing and Revenue Cycle Support Bottlenecks

Claim status checks, EOB reconciliation, denial follow-up, and patient balance outreach are often handled reactively, or not at all, because billing staff are overwhelmed with volume.

How it works

How Nacho supports healthcare providers

Nacho starts every client engagement with a Delegation Strategy Plan developed by a dedicated Client Success Manager, this means your assistant isn't guessing what to prioritize on day one. For healthcare clients, that plan typically maps out which administrative workflows can be handled remotely, what PHI access protocols need to be established, and how to integrate with your existing EHR or practice management system. The flexible Talent Budget model (starting at $1,000/month) means you can scale hours up during credentialing pushes or open enrollment periods and pull back when volume drops, without managing a part-time hire. Up to $200 of unused budget rolls over each month, so lighter months don't mean you lose everything you didn't use.

What we've learned

What we've learned working with healthcare providers

Healthcare businesses: whether you're running an independent practice, a DSO, a behavioral health group, or a health-tech company, share a common operational reality: the administrative burden grows faster than headcount. EHR platforms like Epic, Athenahealth, and Jane App handle clinical documentation, but they don't eliminate the coordination work that surrounds every patient encounter. Insurance verification, prior auth tracking, referral management, and provider scheduling all require someone who is organized, communicative, and available, not necessarily someone with clinical training. Many practices also underestimate the operational lift of marketing, reputation management (Google reviews, Healthgrades), and internal HR tasks like onboarding and compliance tracking. Delegating these functions to a trained remote assistant, rather than absorbing them into your clinical team, is one of the clearest ways to protect staff capacity and reduce burnout.

We've worked with healthcare providers including Assisting Hands Home Care, Infant Feeding Care.

The model

What delegating to Nacho actually looks like

This is ongoing delegation to one vetted, US-based person, not a task posted to a marketplace.

  1. Start with a Delegation Strategy Plan

    A one-time $300 onboarding fee pairs you with a Client Success Manager who maps what to hand off first. See the full process.

  2. Get matched in about a week

    We match you with a vetted, 100% US-based Executive Assistant or Specialist in your time zone. If the fit is not right, the Nacho Guarantee re-matches you free.

  3. Set a monthly Talent Budget

    Budgets start at $1,000 a month and draw across Executive Assistants from $40/hr, Specialists from $65/hr, and Fractional Executives from $125/hr. Up to $200 of unused budget rolls over each month. See pricing in detail.

  4. Three months, then month to month

    The initial term is three months so the working relationship has time to compound, then it rolls month to month. Book a discovery call to size yours.

Good questions

Frequently asked questions

Can a fractional EA work inside our EHR or practice management system?
Yes. Nacho assistants regularly work inside platforms like Athenahealth, Kareo, Jane App, SimplePractice, and others for tasks like scheduling, patient record updates, and billing support. Access is set up with role-appropriate permissions, and your Client Success Manager will help establish the right workflow during onboarding.
Is it safe to have a fractional EA handle patient-related tasks given HIPAA?
Nacho assistants are US-based and can operate under a Business Associate Agreement (BAA), which is required when a vendor handles PHI on your behalf. You should work with your compliance team to define which tasks involve PHI and ensure appropriate access controls are in place before delegating those workflows.
What kinds of healthcare admin tasks can a fractional EA actually handle?
Common tasks include appointment scheduling and reminders, insurance verification prep, prior authorization tracking, referral coordination, credentialing document gathering, patient portal message triage, billing follow-up, provider calendar management, and reputation management outreach. Tasks requiring clinical judgment or direct patient care are outside scope.
How is Nacho different from hiring a medical fractional through a staffing agency?
Nacho provides a dedicated Client Success Manager and a Delegation Strategy Plan from day one, you're not just getting a resume, you're getting a structured onboarding process designed to make delegation actually work. The flexible monthly Talent Budget also means you're not locked into a fixed FTE cost, which matters for practices with seasonal or variable admin volume.
