MedHire vs. In-House Hiring
Local hiring is the default — and the most expensive option. Between salary, benefits, equipment, workspace, and 60–90 days of recruiting, a single back-office seat in the U.S. easily runs $70–100K all-in.
MedHire is not In-House Hiring.
What In-House Hiring gives you
You post the role, screen candidates for weeks, train them on your PMS, and absorb the full salary, benefits, payroll taxes, equipment, and office overhead. If they leave, you restart the cycle.
What MedHire gives you
MedHire delivers a certified professional in roughly a week, at a flat monthly fee that already includes everything you'd pay for separately in-house — and your replacement risk is covered.
Same work product. ~60–70% lower fully-loaded cost. Faster to start, easier to scale up or down, no recruiting overhead.

What you actually get for the money
totally inclusive, predictable
salary + 30–35% benefits load + equipment + overhead
A U.S. medical biller at $52K base costs roughly $70K once you load benefits, taxes, and overhead — that's ~$5.8K/month. MedHire averages ~$1.9K/month for the same role.
Common objections
I want someone in our office.
If physical presence is required, in-house is the right call. For back-office roles — scribing, billing, scheduling, prior-auth, patient outreach — the work is the same whether it's done in your office or in a MedHire campus.
Quality has to be lower offshore.
It isn't, because we don't run a generic outsourcing pool. Candidates are filtered, certified on your EHR, and supported by an RM. Most practices see denial rates drop and A/R days shrink.
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.

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.
