MedHire vs. Hire With Near
Near is a great nearshore recruiting marketplace if you want to hire someone in Latin America yourself. MedHire is the opposite model: we deliver a managed, certified professional — sourcing, employment, workspace, compliance, and management all handled.
MedHire is not Hire With Near.
What Hire With Near gives you
Marketplace hiring puts the candidate in your hands — and then leaves payroll, equipment, HIPAA, and ongoing management on your plate.
What MedHire gives you
MedHire runs the entire stack: vetted candidates, EHR certification, campus workspace, BAA, equipment, and a dedicated relationship manager.
If you want to build your own offshore team, Near helps you do it. If you want the team delivered turn-key, MedHire is the managed option.

What you actually get for the money
all-in, managed
you employ, pay, equip, and manage
Near is often great for engineering or design hires. For PHI-touching roles, the managed model removes risk you'd otherwise own.
Common objections
We like nearshore time zones.
MedHire offers full U.S. timezone coverage including U.S. business hours. Time-zone alignment isn't a Latin-America-only feature.
The structural differences
Secure campus, not a home office
Your hire works from a MedHire campus with badge entry, dedicated workstations, backup power, and dual ISP — not a kitchen table.
Fluent on your EHR before day one
MedHire Academy puts every candidate through a role-specific certification on the exact PMS or EHR you use. Only a small share pass.
Named, dedicated, yours
You interview and pick the person. They work only for your practice — they learn your schedulers, payers, and providers.
HIPAA built into the infrastructure
Locked-down equipment, encrypted VPN, signed BAA, and ongoing privacy training — not an add-on line item.
Career path, not a revolving door
Salaries, benefits, and growth tracks mean people stay. That's why our 12-month retention sits at 92%.
A real relationship manager
Every account has a dedicated RM — not a shared inbox. One person owns performance, scheduling, and escalations.
What practices typically see
60–70% lower cost than U.S. hiring
A U.S. medical biller fully loaded runs $5–6k/month. A MedHire professional doing the same work averages ~$1.9k/month — same output, dramatically lower spend.
Cleaner claims, fewer denials
Dedicated billers who work only on your panel catch payer-specific patterns. Practices typically see denial rates drop 15–25% in the first quarter.
Faster A/R cycles
When one named person owns follow-up end-to-end, claims get worked sooner and A/R days shrink — most teams report ~40% faster resolution within six months.
Replacement risk removed
Every seat carries a $0 replacement guarantee with a 7-day target and structured knowledge transfer, so a single departure never stalls your front or back office.

Open ROI CalculatorFrequently asked questions
Do I get to pick the person?+
Yes. We shortlist pre-vetted, certified candidates against your role profile and EHR/PMS. You interview and approve who joins your team.
How does HIPAA actually work?+
Hires sit in a MedHire campus on company-issued equipment, connected through an encrypted VPN. We sign a BAA, run annual privacy training, and audit access. There is no personal-device or home-Wi-Fi path into your systems.
What if the hire doesn't work out?+
Our guarantee covers a free replacement, with an average 7-day turnaround and a documented knowledge handover. You're never stuck paying for a seat that isn't performing.
Is there a long contract?+
No multi-year lock-in. Most clients run month-to-month after the initial onboarding period.
