Whether you’re a healthcare provider working with a remote admin VA, or you’re a Medical Virtual Assistant yourself, having the right tools is essential to working efficiently — and securely — in 2025.
From HIPAA-compliant communication platforms to scheduling and EMR access, here’s a curated list of the best tools for Medical Administrative Virtual Assistants this year.
- Calendly for Healthcare (HIPAA-compliant version)
https://calendly.com
Why it’s great:
Calendly’s new HIPAA-compliant tier is ideal for VAs managing appointment bookings. It syncs with EHR calendars, integrates with Zoom or Google Meet, and automates reminders — reducing no-shows and scheduling confusion.
Best For:
Appointment coordination, patient intake calls, and calendar syncing - Google Workspace (Business Plus or Enterprise)
https://workspace.google.com
Why it’s great:
When used with a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement (BAA) in place, Google Workspace remains one of the most powerful collaboration tools for medical teams. Shared Drives, Google Docs, Sheets, and Gmail help VAs keep operations flowing.
Pro tip:
Only certain plans are HIPAA-compliant — always sign a BAA and restrict access. - Updox
https://www.updox.com
Why it’s great:
Updox is a healthcare-first communication platform that combines secure texting, video calls, faxing, and more. It’s designed for medical practices and is fully HIPAA-compliant — perfect for virtual assistants who need to manage patient messaging and follow-ups.
Ideal for VAs who handle patient reminders, appointment confirmations, or telehealth prep. - DrChrono or Athenahealth (Cloud-Based EHRs)
https://www.drchrono.com
https://www.athenahealth.com
Why it’s great:
Many clinics grant read/write access to their VAs through cloud-based EMRs like DrChrono and Athenahealth. These platforms are user-friendly and support remote charting, billing, and eligibility checks — all within HIPAA frameworks.
PowerUp Medical VAs are trained to work with EMR/EHR platforms based on the client’s systems. - 1Password for Teams or Bitwarden

https://bitwarden.com
Why it’s great:
Password managers are a must in 2025. VAs often work across multiple platforms (EMRs, scheduling tools, insurance portals). Secure access sharing and vault management protect credentials and ensure compliance.
A critical part of every HIPAA-compliant virtual assistant workflow. - Trello or ClickUp
https://trello.com
https://clickup.com
Why it’s great:
Project and task management is easier when both the doctor and the VA can track to-dos. Trello offers simple card-based organization, while ClickUp adds robust reporting, checklists, and integrations.
Ideal for managing billing cycles, weekly patient follow-up tasks, or onboarding workflows. - Bonus: PowerUp VA’s Internal Admin Suite
