Three steps

Hire a Virtual medical scribe in 3 steps

From your first brief to a Virtual medical scribe working in Athenahealth and Epic, you stay with one recruiter from scope through start.

Scope the Virtual medical scribe role

Tell us the work to own, from virtual medical scribe documentation to chart completion, plus the systems, coverage hours, and outcomes that matter. We turn that into a focused search brief.

Review vetted Virtual medical scribe candidates

We screen candidates for virtual medical scribe documentation, chart completion, and practical fluency in Athenahealth and Epic. You review a shortlist with relevant context.

Hire and onboard your Virtual medical scribe

Choose your candidate and hiring model. We coordinate the handoff into your tools, operating process, and first-week priorities.

What changes for your team

Best for providers who need real-time documentation so clinical time stays focused on the patient.

Faster note turnaround

Notes close the same day instead of stacking up for evening or weekend catch-up.

More patient time, less screen time

Providers talk to the patient during the visit instead of typing through it.

Cleaner, more complete charts

Real-time documentation catches details a rushed end-of-day note tends to miss.

Fewer coding errors

The right codes go into the note the first time, ready for the provider to confirm.

Lower burnout

After-hours charting stops eating into providers' personal time.

Lower staffing overhead

One dedicated scribe costs less than the benefits, payroll taxes and office space an in-house hire adds up to.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about hiring for this role

Is this HIPAA compliant?

Yes. Every candidate is trained on HIPAA before they ever join a single visit or touch a patient record, so you are not the one running that training internally. The engagement itself is structured to keep patient information secure end to end, from the visit through however your practice documents it.

Is a virtual medical scribe the same as a virtual medical assistant?

No. Your virtual medical assistant runs the front desk and admin work around the visit, scheduling and insurance. Your virtual medical scribe instead joins the visit itself and documents it in real time as the provider talks. If your documentation volume is high, most practices end up staffing both.

How do they join the visit?

By phone or video, matched to however your practice already runs telehealth or in-room documentation today. Your scribe joins quietly in the background, listening and documenting while the provider focuses entirely on the patient. Tell us your actual setup on the discovery call and we match the workflow to it.

Which specialties do you cover?

We cover primary care, cardiology, dermatology, orthopedics, pediatrics and behavioral health, among others most practices actually run. Tell us your specialty on the discovery call, and we match you with a scribe who already knows the terminology and note structure for it, instead of learning your specialty live.

How fast can I hire a virtual medical scribe?

You'll see vetted candidates within 10 business days of your discovery call, so you're not waiting weeks to start interviewing. Once you've made your pick, onboarding takes 21 days, whether the hire joins your payroll directly or comes on as a fully managed global hire through HireHawk.

What if the scribe is not the right fit?

You're covered either way. If you go with global talent, you get 100% performance replacement at no extra cost. If you choose US direct hire, you're backed by a 60-day replacement guarantee, so a bad fit doesn't turn into a bad quarter for your business.
