Coverage

Pricing
Are there long-term contracts?

Is onboarding billed?
Onboarding is clarified in the pricing plan before hiring so there are no surprise assumptions.
Can we pause or change hours?
Changes are planned around schedule, coverage needs, and assistant availability.
Compliance
Are assistants HIPAA-aware?
Assistants are trained on healthcare privacy expectations and operational safeguards. Your practice remains responsible for legal compliance, access approvals, and role permissions.
Who controls EMR access?
Your practice controls EMR/EHR access, permissions, and approvals. ClinicWing helps document the role boundaries and onboarding checklist.
Can assistants make clinical decisions?
No. Assistants support documentation, coordination, calls, admin, and follow-up. Clinical judgment, diagnosis, treatment decisions, and urgent triage stay with licensed practice staff.
Operations
How is time tracked?
The operating model includes time tracking and activity reporting so managers can review utilization, bottlenecks, and workflow progress.
What reports do we receive?
Weekly reporting can include hours, workflow volume, blockers, quality notes, and next improvements.
What if performance is not working?
The success path uses coaching, scorecards, workflow tuning, and replacement review when needed.
Systems
Which EMRs and phone systems do you support?
The team works around your existing stack. During scoping, we document the EMR, phone, portal, billing, and task tools your assistant will need to use.
Can assistants use our phone system?
Yes, when your practice approves access and documents what actions are allowed.
How are passwords handled?
Your practice should use approved password and access-control tools. Public forms should never receive passwords.
