Staffingly is one of the more visible names in healthcare virtual staffing. If you’ve been researching offshore billing options, you’ve likely seen them. Here’s what they actually offer and how it compares to Dr. Billerz.
What Staffingly Is
Staffingly positions as a healthcare virtual assistant company. They place staff across a range of healthcare administrative roles: prior authorization, medical billing, coding, scheduling, and general VA work.
Their tagline is “Save 70% in staffing costs.” Their pricing lands around $10 per hour or roughly $1,800 to $2,000 per month full-time depending on the role tier.
Like Pearl Talent, Staffingly is a staffing platform first. They match you with a VA. The management, training, and quality oversight of the actual billing work is largely on you.
Staffingly Pricing
Staffingly does not publish a detailed pricing table publicly, but based on market positioning and available information, their billing VAs run approximately $10 per hour for standard billing roles. That puts a full-time resource at approximately $1,600 to $2,000 per month depending on hours and plan.
There are no published details about what’s included in terms of oversight, performance tracking, or management support beyond the initial placement.
What Staffingly Does Well
Staffingly has been around long enough to have a process. They work across multiple healthcare verticals. If you need a general healthcare VA who can handle prior auth alongside billing alongside scheduling, they cover that range.
The pricing is below US domestic staffing. The candidates are healthcare-oriented rather than general-purpose.
Where Staffingly Falls Short for Medical Billing Specifically
The VA model is built for broad administrative support. When billing is the primary job, the generalist approach creates gaps.
No included RCM manager. No AR audit at intake. No specialty-specific EHR training. The biller you receive may have solid general billing experience but won’t necessarily know the specific workflows for your EHR or the denial patterns common to your specialty’s payer mix.
Billing is also not something you want a VA learning on the job. A missed modifier in cardiology, a wrong revenue code in behavioral health IOP, a prior auth submitted to the wrong payer in psychiatry, each of those is a real dollar denial that takes time and work to recover. The billing function needs someone who knows it before they start, not someone learning while they go.

Which One Is Right for You
Staffingly fits well if you need broad healthcare administrative support across multiple functions and billing is one of several tasks, not the primary focus.
If billing is the job, the dedicated billing staffing model is better suited. It’s cheaper per hour, includes management oversight, starts with an AR audit, and matches the biller to your specific EHR and specialty.
The annual cost difference between a Staffingly billing VA at $1,800 per month and a Dr. Billerz dedicated biller with RCM manager at $1,120 per month is $8,160 per year. For a role that may last multiple years, that’s significant.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Staffingly good for prior authorization?
Staffingly handles prior auth as part of their healthcare VA offering. For practices where prior auth is a high-volume, standalone function, dedicated prior auth staffing makes sense. For billing-first operations, prior auth should be handled by the billing team as part of a unified workflow, not separated into a different VA.
Does Staffingly work with specific EHR systems?
Staffingly places candidates with general EHR experience. They don’t publish a list of EHR-specific placements. If your practice runs a less common EHR, confirm EHR experience explicitly before placement.
What makes Dr. Billerz different from other offshore billing companies?
The dedicated model: one biller works exclusively for your practice in your EHR, not a shared team. The included RCM manager: oversight is built in at no extra cost. The free pilot: you see the results before you commit. The billing specialization: every biller is trained for medical billing, not general healthcare administration.
Can I use both Staffingly for some roles and Dr. Billerz for billing?
Yes. Some practices use different vendors for different functions. If you want specialized billing staffing for the revenue cycle and a general VA for administrative tasks, using different providers for each is a reasonable approach.
