Measured Results Across Teams

Real companies. Defined ownership. Measurable outcomes.

Delegate Everything but Leadership.

Delayed Authorizations Are a Scheduling Problem

When nobody follows up with payers, procedures get pushed and schedules back up.

Your Wing specialist works inside your EHR and payer portals daily so approvals come through before procedures stall.

Built So Your Authorizations Never Stall

One dedicated prior authorization specialist matched to your workflows, backed by Wing oversight and quality control, so approvals move without you managing every payer.

Flexible, No-Commitment Monthly Support

Add coverage as authorization volume grows. No contracts, no restructuring, and no changes to your existing EHR workflows or payer portal access.

HIPAA, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 Compliant

Wing is ISO 27001 compliant and SOC 2 certified. Patient data and authorization records are encrypted in transit and at rest with restricted, logged access.

NDAs and Custom Healthcare Policies

Patient data, auth records, and payer communications stay protected with NDAs and custom policies aligned to your HIPAA requirements and access controls.

Coverage That Doesn't Break

One dedicated specialist handles your authorization pipeline daily. Coverage holds without losing payer context or letting approvals slip between procedures.

Overall, I have been very pleased with each aspect of hiring my Wing VA. We were looking at a variety of virtual assistant programs; what made us choose Wing was the fact that their talent had specific marketing experience... Working with Wing is seamless. They have a robust platform that makes communicating with our VA incredibly easy. It also helps that they act quickly and are incredibly responsive...

I've had the best VA experience so far after multiple tries. The app is easy to use to communicate and create tasks, there's loads of real-person communication, and my assistant was so capable at MANY things. He was so good that every week I found more things I could take off my plate and all for a low fixed price per month. Great value and it's taken a lot of stress off me.

Wing is an innovative software-powered interface to virtual assistants. Wing has provided a software-augmented virtual assistant service that's unique in the field. Just as important as the software platform is the quality of their assistants behind the scene. Their ability to organize and run a process of matching our needs with available talent was successful. Wing is easy to use.

Wing provides exceptional Virtual Assistant services and an accompanying productivity platform. Using Wing has been incredibly beneficial for our business, allowing us to explore some things in far more depth, or scale up some operations more effectively. Some of the benefits far exceed what you might expect from a virtual assistant in terms of capabilities and outside traditional administrative work.

What I like best about Wing is the quality and reliability of their virtual assistants. We started with one assistant and were so happy with the experience that we’ve since onboarded additional VAs. I’ve also confidently recommended Wing to colleagues and contacts looking for virtual assistant services. The combination of strong support, trustworthy assistants, and a seamless experience is what sets Wing apart for me.

Prior authorization services cover the full submission and follow-up layer including insurance pre-authorizations, referral coordination, medical necessity documentation, and payer follow-up. Wing virtual assistant services make sense when authorizations are stalling, procedures are getting pushed, or staff are spending time on payer calls instead of patient care.

Dedicated. Your Wing specialist works exclusively on your account, building familiarity with your payer mix, your providers, and your authorization workflows over time.

AI can flag missing documentation and pre-populate forms. It can't call a payer to chase a pending authorization, notice when a submission was rejected without notification, or own the outcome when a procedure is at risk. Your Wing specialist knows your payers, your providers, and your authorization history after months on the account. 

A prior authorization specialist handles pre-procedure approvals including submissions, referral coordination, and payer follow-up before care is delivered. A medical billing specialist handles claims submission and payment processing after care is delivered. For billing support see Wing's Medical Billing Specialist.
