Frequently Asked Questions
How is Tareio different from My Mountain Mover?
Both companies place virtual assistants with dental practices, but the infrastructure behind the person is different. My Mountain Mover's VAs work from home on their own devices, backed by HIPAA training and background checks. Tareio's Dental Virtual Assistants work from a secured campus on enterprise, company-issued equipment, with HIPAA-grade infrastructure (campus security, VPN, and BAAs) and a dedicated relationship manager overseeing day-to-day performance.
Does MMM provide HIPAA-compliant infrastructure?
My Mountain Mover provides HIPAA training and background checks for its VAs, but the infrastructure itself — the VA's home network, personal devices, and workspace security — is not built or controlled by the company. Tareio takes a different approach: HIPAA compliance is built into the environment itself, with a secured campus, VPN access, encryption, and signed BAAs standard for every client.
How much does My Mountain Mover cost compared to Tareio?
My Mountain Mover uses quote-based pricing, so the cost varies by practice and role. Tareio uses a flat monthly fee that includes the Dental Virtual Assistant, enterprise equipment, HIPAA infrastructure, and a dedicated relationship manager — so there's one predictable number with nothing added on later.
Which has better retention — Tareio or My Mountain Mover?
Tareio publishes a 97% retention rate at 12 months. My Mountain Mover reports strong retention as well, though they don't publish a specific rate, making it harder to compare directly. For context, average VA industry retention is around 62%, meaning turnover of 38% or more is common across the industry.
