Measured Results Across Teams

Real companies. Defined ownership. Measurable outcomes.

Delegate Everything but Leadership.

Procedures Get Delayed
When Authorizations Aren’t Followed Up

You can’t stay on every authorization and payer request all day, but approvals still need constant follow-up to keep procedures on schedule.

Your Wing Virtual Assistant works inside your systems to submit, follow up, and track authorizations before approvals get delayed or procedures get pushed.

How Wing Keeps Authorizations On Track Without You

This isn’t a freelancer setup. One person owns your authorizations, backed by Wing support, so cases don’t stall or come back to you.

Flexible, No-Commitment Monthly Support

When authorization volume increases, requests don’t fall behind. Coverage expands so procedures stay scheduled.

Secure and Compliance-Ready

Wing is SOC 2–certified and HIPAA-compliant. Data is encrypted (SSL 2048-bit, AES-256) with restricted, logged access.

NDAs and Role-Based Access Control

Your assistant works within defined permissions. Updates happen without needing you to double-check.

Dedicated Assistant with Backup Coverage

One assistant owns your authorizations. If something changes, coverage steps in so cases don’t get delayed.

We Meet Challenging Talent Needs and Ensure Ongoing Success

Our resources and systems are designed to deliver tailored solutions that go beyond the basics, empowering your business to thrive.

Benefit from a dedicated Client Success Manager (CSM) who will be your single point of contact for all your needs. Your CSM will ensure smooth onboarding, provide ongoing support, and proactively address any concerns to maximize the value of our services.

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.

Yes. Your assistant works only with your clinic during scheduled hours. They learn how your team handles insurance pre-authorizations, referral coordination, payer follow-ups, and medical necessity documentation so work stays consistent. You’re not re-explaining workflows or shifting tasks between different people. One person stays responsible for your authorizations.
You choose the schedule based on authorization volume and procedure scheduling needs. Coverage can align with your referral team, billing hours, or scheduling workflow. Hours can expand when authorization requests start building up and scale back when things stabilize. It adjusts to how your workflow actually runs.
Yes. You can communicate with your assistant from anywhere using the Wing app, Slack, email, or phone. They work directly inside your EHR, payer portals, and scheduling systems, so submissions and follow-ups continue even if you’re not in the system. You’re not tied to one location. Access stays consistent wherever you’re working.
Within scheduled hours, you can assign as many authorization-related tasks as needed. That includes submissions, referral coordination, payer follow-ups, documentation tracking, and approval updates as work comes in. You don’t have to decide what fits before handing it off. If it’s part of keeping procedures approved and on schedule, it gets handled.
Extended coverage is available for clinics managing high procedure volume or multiple locations. You don’t need to hire additional staff to keep up with authorization demand. The setup adjusts based on your workload. It scales without disrupting your operations.
Most healthcare teams use the Wing app, Slack, email, or a dedicated line. Your assistant works directly inside your EHR, payer portals, scheduling systems, and authorization workflows with approved access. You’re not managing work in a separate platform. It fits into how your team already operates.

Wing assistants are trained professionals, not freelancers you have to manage. We offer assistants both locally and globally, trained in prior authorizations, referral coordination, payer communication, and medical necessity documentation workflows.

They’re also trained on AI tools and AI-driven workflows, and many are bilingual for patient and payer communication. They’re supported behind the scenes so authorizations, follow-ups, and approvals stay consistent without you stepping in.

During scheduled hours, authorization requests, payer follow-ups, and updates are picked up quickly so procedures don’t sit waiting on approvals. You’re not checking systems to see what stalled. Work moves as requests come in. That matters when delays impact scheduling.
Yes. Your assistant works directly inside your EHR, practice management system, payer portals, referral systems, and scheduling tools using role-based access. They follow your workflows and permissions. Nothing sits outside your systems or requires workarounds. It runs inside what you already use.

If something needs attention beyond daily authorization work, support and escalation are available. Authorization workflows continue without interruption. You don’t have to step in to keep approvals moving. Everything stays consistent day to day.
