Honest Taskers, Peak Support, and Helpware CX lead this year's shortlist of support outsourcing partners for healthcare technology companies, seven firms ranked on how they carry a health tech firm's operational load, from support tickets and implementation coordination to eligibility checks, data cleanup, and the clinical operations work that sits behind a product rather than inside it. A health tech firm buys differently from a clinic: what matters is whether one partner can cover both the software side and the protected health information side, and what it will put in writing.
Disclosure: Honest Taskers publishes this list and appears at position 1. We're judged on the same five published criteria as every other company here.

How we chose the best support outsourcing partners for healthcare technology companies
We ranked these firms on five facts, each read at the provider's own website on August 21, 2026. Those facts are whether the firm names technology or health technology clients, published pricing, delivery footprint, the engagement model and any minimum, and the compliance it documents rather than merely mentions. Health tech firms sit awkwardly between two vendor markets. Customer experience outsourcers know software but often have no HIPAA posture, and healthcare outsourcers know protected health information but treat a product ticket as an escalation. We weighted firms that credibly cover both, and we say plainly which ones do not. Blank facts read "not publicly listed" instead of a guess.
Best support outsourcing partners for healthcare technology companies compared
The table ranks all 7 on the same columns, Honest Taskers first because we publish the list. Facts were read August 21, 2026 and change often, so treat them as a starting point, not a quote.
| Company | What it takes on for a health tech firm | Delivery locations | Published pricing | Engagement model | Compliance named |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Honest Taskers | Placed staff for implementation support, customer-side data work, scheduling, eligibility, records requests | US clients; recruiting in the Philippines, Latin America, India and Pakistan | $10.00–$12.65/hr | Staffing by the hour, your tools | HIPAA-trained; compliance verified by Accountable; BAA when PHI is accessed |
| Peak Support | Customer experience, technical support, trust and safety, back office, accounting | The Philippines, the United States, Colombia, Eastern Europe | Not publicly listed | Managed team | States HIPAA compliance; names SOC 2 and PCI |
| Helpware CX | Patient and customer support, insurance verification, billing, coding, plus development and data work | 19 locations including the USA, Mexico, the Philippines, Ukraine, Georgia and Uganda | $8–$15/hr (stated range) | Managed team, hourly | SOC 2 Type II; ISO 27001; HIPAA; GDPR; PCI DSS |
| Omega Healthcare | Health data curation, model validation, revenue cycle, care coordination, payer operations | Boca Raton, Florida; the Philippines; India; Colombia | Not publicly listed | Outsourced service, enterprise scale | Not publicly listed |
| Ubiquity | Customer care, technical support, back office, data annotation, identity verification, claims processing | New York; Texas; El Salvador; Guatemala; Colombia; Ghana; the UK; the Philippines; India | Not publicly listed | Managed team, outcome-focused | States HIPAA-compliant services; no certification named |
| TaskUs | User onboarding and engagement, technical support, data capture and tagging, moderation, patient support | Not publicly listed on its healthcare page | Not publicly listed | Managed team, enterprise | Not publicly listed on its healthcare page |
| HelpSquad Health | Admin, research, data entry, billing and claims, plus scheduling and intake by voice | US-managed | $8–$10/hr back office; $10–$13/hr voice; chat from $185/mo | Managed assistants, 20 hrs/wk minimum | HIPAA BAA plus virtual desktop included; per-assistant HIPAA certification |
Three of the seven publish a rate and three publish nothing at all, which tells you where the enterprise end of this market sits. More usefully, only two firms document HIPAA alongside an audited security certification, and those two, Helpware CX and HelpSquad Health, are also the two that publish prices. Transparency and compliance travel together here more often than you would expect.
1. Honest Taskers
Best for: health tech firms that need people who already know a clinic's workflow, placed inside their own tools by the hour, for implementation and customer operations.
Pricing: $10.00–$12.65/hrLocation: US clients; PH, LatAm, India and Pakistan recruitingModel: Staffing by the hourFirst hire: Two-week working trial
Honest Taskers is useful to a health tech firm for a reason its competitors here cannot copy: its staff come from the customer's side of the product. They work daily inside electronic health records, practice management systems, and billing platforms, so onboarding a practice, migrating a schedule, reconciling a provider roster, or running eligibility checks during a pilot is familiar work rather than training. You hire named individuals by the hour who sit in your tools and your time zone, so the knowledge accumulates with you. Candidates are trained on HIPAA and data privacy under a dedicated compliance officer, and a Business Associate Agreement is signed before anyone touches protected health information, with HIPAA compliance verified by Accountable. The pool includes licensed nurses and physicians for clinically adjacent work. Rates begin around $10 an hour and reach about $12.65 by role, background, schedule, and location, the first hire comes with a two-week working trial, and the company reports 99.6% average monthly retention. See the multi-purpose virtual medical assistant service for role detail.
Limitation: it is a staffing firm, not a contact center, so there is no round-the-clock coverage, no service level agreement, and no SOC 2 report to attach to your enterprise deals.
2. Peak Support
Best for: health tech firms whose tickets are genuinely technical, and that also need trust and safety cover for in-product content.
Pricing: Not publicly listedLocation: PH, US, Colombia, Eastern EuropeModel: Managed teamTrial: Not publicly listed
Peak Support names software and technology and healthcare among its industries, which is exactly the overlap a health tech firm needs, and its service list is built for a product company: customer experience, technical support, trust and safety, back office, sales and marketing, accounting, and technology and artificial intelligence services. Trust and safety is the underrated one, because a platform with coaching messages, patient communities, or user-submitted content needs moderation that a general support vendor will not staff. The firm states PCI and SOC 2 compliance and references HIPAA, and delivers from the Philippines, the United States, Colombia, and Eastern Europe, giving both nearshore daytime cover and lower-cost offshore capacity. Company-reported figures include hiring one applicant in thirty, an average of eight years of agent experience, a 95% average quality score, and a five-year average client tenure.
Limitation: no pricing is published, and HIPAA is referenced rather than named as a certification the way its PCI and SOC 2 positions are.
3. Helpware CX
Best for: health tech firms that need audited certifications on paper and a published rate, and would like engineering overflow from the same firm.
Pricing: $8–$15/hrLocation: 19 locations across four continentsModel: Managed team, hourlyTrial: Not publicly listed
Helpware CX documents more than anyone else here. It names SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI DSS as third-party audited, with business associate agreements, role-based access to protected health information, and audit logging on regulated workflows, and it states an hourly range of $8 to $15 for healthcare work. For a health tech firm the second half of its catalogue matters as much as the first: alongside customer support, back office, and content security it sells product discovery, cloud and development operations, custom software development, artificial-intelligence implementation, and training data services. That means one vendor can staff a support queue and take engineering overflow. Named client types include patient engagement platforms, telehealth platforms, remote care organizations, hospital networks, and health plans, delivered from 19 locations including the United States, Mexico, the Philippines, Ukraine, Georgia, and Uganda.
Limitation: its healthcare marketing targets providers and payers rather than software vendors, so product-support depth depends on the team it builds for you.
4. Omega Healthcare
Best for: health tech firms that need clinical data work, such as registry curation, real-world data, or validating a machine learning model.
Pricing: Not publicly listedLocation: Boca Raton, PH, India, ColombiaModel: Outsourced service, enterprise scaleTrial: Not publicly listed
Omega Healthcare is the only firm on this list that names health technology and life sciences companies as a client type in its own words, alongside providers, payers, and what it calls industry partners. Its health data curation practice is the draw for this buyer: clinical trial data, real-world data, registry data management, and validation of machine learning models, which is a data operations partner rather than a support vendor. It also runs whole-cycle revenue cycle broken into patient access, mid-revenue cycle, and business office; care coordination including phone and message triage and remote patient management; payer operations; and drug access and affordability work covering benefit verification, prior authorization, and co-pay assistance. If your product sits inside one of those workflows, it can staff the operational layer around it. Delivery is from Boca Raton, Florida plus the Philippines, India, and Colombia.
Limitation: it names no certification, publishes no pricing, and its site's own statistics render as placeholders, so nothing is verifiable before a sales conversation.
5. Ubiquity
Best for: health tech firms that need Spanish-language nearshore coverage in US business hours, or data annotation at volume.
Pricing: Not publicly listedLocation: US, El Salvador, Guatemala, Colombia, Ghana, UK, PH, IndiaModel: Managed teamTrial: Not publicly listed
Ubiquity names technology and software and healthcare and wellness among seven industries, and geography is its strongest card: New York and Mission, Texas, plus San Salvador, San Pedro Sula, Guatemala City, and Bogotá, with Accra, Sheffield, four Philippine cities, and Ahmedabad behind them. For a health tech firm serving Spanish-speaking members during clinic hours, that footprint is hard to match on this list. Services cover customer care, technical support, sales, collections, and retention, plus non-voice work including back office and data annotation, risk and response work covering identity verification, claims processing and chargebacks, and a specialized line it describes as HIPAA-compliant medical billing. It also sells an agent-assist product it calls Aigent. Company-reported figures include more than 350 clients, 96% client retention, and 96% employee retention.
Limitation: it names no security certification beyond describing services as HIPAA-compliant, and healthcare is one of seven verticals rather than a focus.
6. TaskUs
Best for: funded health tech firms at enterprise volume that need support, in-product moderation, and data labeling from one vendor.
Pricing: Not publicly listedLocation: Not publicly listedModel: Managed team, enterpriseTrial: Not publicly listed
TaskUs describes the widest product-side scope of any firm here on its healthcare page: user onboarding and engagement, technical support, data capture and tagging, community moderation, and advanced data analytics, sitting next to member and patient support and payer operations. That mix suits a health tech firm whose support, community, and data-labeling needs would otherwise take three vendors. Its named client types are telehealth platforms, mental health platforms, and specialty and wellness platforms as well as payers and providers, so the buyer profile is familiar to it. Patient-facing work covers care navigation, membership inquiries, medication questions, post-visit follow-up, enrollment, eligibility, and prescription refills, and provider-side work adds prior authorization, insurance verification, claims and billing, credentialing, and utilization management.
Limitation: its healthcare page publishes no certification, no delivery location, and no pricing, so all diligence happens in procurement rather than before it.
7. HelpSquad Health
Best for: early-stage health tech firms that want a published rate, a signed BAA, and a US-managed team without enterprise minimums.
Pricing: $8–$13/hr by roleLocation: US-managedModel: Managed assistantsTrial: Not publicly listed
HelpSquad Health is the smallest-commitment option here and the most transparent about cost. Back-office work runs $8 to $10 an hour, customer-facing voice work $10 to $13, shared live chat coverage runs $185 to $600 a month, and the company states $0 upfront cost, $0 implementation fees, and $0 replacement costs. Every rate includes a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement and a HIPAA virtual desktop, and the company says each assistant holds individual HIPAA certification, which is a more specific claim than most firms make. The work it lists maps onto health tech operations better than its healthcare framing suggests: admin, research, data entry, billing, claims, and accounts receivable on the digital side, and scheduling and intake on voice. It describes itself as a US-based, US-managed company whose assistants are screened for clear communication with US patients.
Limitation: engagements start at 20 hours a week per assistant on a three-month initial agreement that renews in three-month increments, and it names no software or technical support practice.
Should a healthcare technology firm hire, outsource, or automate operations?
Hire in-house while the operational work is still telling you something about the product. Implementation and escalation calls are where you find out which part of the workflow breaks, and outsourcing that early costs you the signal. Outsource once the volume repeats and coverage needs to run past one time zone, which is where a managed team earns its margin. The cost gap is real: a medical records specialist earned about $51,140 a year, roughly $24.59 an hour before benefits, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics May 2025 wage data for medical records specialists, against roughly $8 to $15 an hour for offshore or placed remote staff. Automate the deflectable tail, since status lookups, resets, and how-do-I questions are usually documentation gaps. Keep automation away from anything where a clinician is mid-shift and blocked, because a wrong answer there interrupts care rather than annoying a user. For a view of the operational work most firms hand over first, see the virtual medical assistant duties breakdown.
What are the risks of outsourcing operations at a healthcare technology firm?
Your risks show up in your own customers' procurement process more than in your support metrics.
- Subprocessor certifications become your problem. Three firms here publish no certification, which turns into a gap in every security questionnaire your sales team answers.
- BAA scope against real access. Implementation and data staff usually see more than tier-one agents, so scope the agreement to the widest access anyone will have.
- Subprocessor notice obligations. Check your own customer contracts and privacy notice before a partner touches production data.
- The clinical boundary. Write down what an agent may never answer, since an unlicensed person giving clinical guidance is a different category of risk from a slow response.
- Knowledge decay. Ask about agent tenure and how release notes reach the vendor team, because a churning team escalates what it should resolve.
How is outsourced healthcare technology support priced?
Hourly, monthly, or by quote, and the split on this list is unusually clear. Three firms publish: Helpware CX at $8 to $15 an hour for healthcare work, HelpSquad Health at $8 to $10 for back office and $10 to $13 for voice with shared chat from $185 a month, and Honest Taskers at $10.00 to $12.65 an hour by role, background, schedule, and location. Four do not: Peak Support, Omega Healthcare, Ubiquity, and TaskUs are all quote-only, and Ubiquity frames its commercial model around outcomes rather than headcount. Because a health tech firm's volume is usually measured in tickets rather than hours, the comparable unit is cost per resolved ticket, so ask each firm for both an hourly rate and expected tickets per agent hour and calculate it yourself. Rates were checked August 2026 and change often. For staffing rate context, see how much a virtual medical assistant costs in 2026.
What should a healthcare technology company look for in a partner?
Both sides of the brief, documents rather than adjectives, coverage matched to your users, and a ramp time you can plan against.
- Technology and healthcare in one firm. A partner that names only one will learn the other on your tickets, and your customers will notice first.
- Certifications you can forward. A SOC 2 Type II report or ISO 27001 certificate does more for your enterprise pipeline than any support statistic.
- A BAA scoped to real access. Get it before system access, not before go-live.
- Coverage matched to your users' hours. Clinics call during clinic hours, so match delivery geography to your users rather than to your own office.
- A published or stated ramp time. Ask how many weeks from contract to a productive agent, and what that becomes at double the headcount.
If you're still defining the role itself, our explainer on what a virtual medical assistant is covers where the compliance line falls once someone touches patient data.
How do you start with a healthcare technology support partner?
Start by splitting the work by whether it touches protected health information, because that line eliminates most of the market before you make a single call.
- Categorise your operational work and mark what needs access to protected health information or a production database.
- Decide whether you want placed staff inside your tools or a managed queue with a service level agreement.
- Shortlist on the technology and healthcare pairing first, then on price.
- Get the Business Associate Agreement and any security report before granting access, and check your own subprocessor notice duties.
- Pilot on one work type, measure resolution rate and escalation rate against your baseline, then widen scope.

Methodology and sources
We read each company's own website on August 21, 2026, recording named industries and client types, published pricing, delivery locations, engagement model and minimums, and stated compliance including HIPAA and any Business Associate Agreement. Wage context is from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics May 2025 Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics for medical records specialists. Where a company didn't publish a fact, we marked it "not publicly listed"; self-stated figures such as client counts, quality scores, and tenure are labeled company-reported and were not independently audited. Rates were captured as dated points, not permanent quotes.
