What Affects Pricing?
Pricing is transparently calibrated to your practice rather than arbitrary flat markups. We assess eight foundational operational vectors to deliver the most cost-effective clinical support structure:
Required Coverage
Part-time (~20 hrs), standard 40-hr dedicated core, or extended multi-shift coverage requirements.
Number of Professionals
Single dedicated assistant vs. specialized multi-provider clinical pods with integrated team leads.
Responsibilities Assigned
Front-office administrative triage vs. complex real-time synchronous charting or specialized billing.
Specialty Requirements
Standard primary care clinics vs. demanding subspecialties like oncology, cardiology, or orthopedics.
Experience Requirements
General healthcare administrative staff vs. 5+ year certified medical billers, coders, or licensed nurses.
Workflow Complexity
Routine call routing and intake vs. multi-tiered prior auth appeals, CoverMyMeds, and peer-to-peer prep.
Systems & Platforms Involved
Standard web portals vs. enterprise dual-authenticated Epic, Cerner, NextGen, or athenahealth setups.
Support Hours
Standard local US daytime operational schedules vs. after-hours on-call, weekends, or continuous coverage.

Pricing & Contract Governance
Executive transparency regarding agreements, onboarding, and scaling protocols.
How is pricing determined?
Pricing depends on factors such as coverage, staffing requirements, responsibilities, specialty, experience, and workflow complexity. Contact MVAC for a tailored quote.
Do you require a long-term contract?
Contract terms depend on the engagement. Flexible month-to-month and structured terms available without punitive termination lock-ins.
Are there any hidden setup or placement fees?
No hidden placement fees. Onboarding, clinical software familiarization, and security credentialing are all packaged upfront.
Can we scale hours or transition from part-time to full-time?
Yes. Support structures are built to adapt as patient volume and clinic demands expand. Practices routinely start with part-time administrative or authorization support and seamlessly graduate to a dedicated full-time pod with zero procedural friction.
