We recruit exceptional Canada-based remote healthcare operations professionals and manage their employment, payroll, HR, and compliance so your organization can focus on patients, performance, and growth.
Healthcare organizations depend on far more than patient-facing clinicians. Every appointment, claim, authorization, health record, referral, and patient interaction relies on skilled professionals working behind the scenes.
Intra helps U.S. healthcare organizations recruit and employ Canada-based remote professionals across patient administration, revenue cycle management, health information, provider operations, data, and technology.
Your employee works exclusively for your organization, within your systems, processes, reporting structure, and daily operations. They can use your company tools, multi-factor authentication, single sign-on, and security protocols while Intra manages the Canadian employment, payroll, HR, and administrative responsibilities.
Most companies offer one or the other. A staffing agency finds you someone, charges a huge placement fee, and disappears. An EOR service manages compliance and payroll for hires you have already sourced yourself. Neither solves the full problem. Intra does both, bundled into one service, while saving you significant costs.
We actively headhunt from the Canadian market on your behalf, targeting qualified and experienced professionals who match exactly what you are looking for.
Share the role, the skills, the expectations, and the context. We take it from there.
We headhunt, screen, and run thorough reference checks on every candidate. You receive a curated shortlist of people we'd vouch for personally.
We facilitate the process. You make the final call, always. Intra never places someone without your explicit approval.
Once you've chosen, we manage the offer letter, employment contract, and onboarding. You're ready to go.
Once your hire is selected, Intra brings them on as an employee in Canada. You do not need to set up a Canadian entity or navigate provincial employment law. We carry that entirely.
Processed accurately and on time, every pay cycle.
CPP, EI, and all employer-side remittances handled in full.
Your hire receives proper Canadian benefits, managed and administered by Intra.
Full compliance with Canadian federal and provincial employment law, year-round.
All the day-to-day employment admin that would land on your desk, taken off it permanently.
Your hire works with you every day as a dedicated member of your team. We run the back-end.

Canada leads the G7 in the proportion of working-age adults with a college or university credential. In the 2021 Census, 57.5% of Canadians aged 25 to 64 held a college or university credential, creating access to professionals with backgrounds in healthcare administration, health information, business, finance, data, technology, and patient services.
Canada has nationally recognized health-information education, accreditation, and certification pathways. Canadian professionals work across records management, documentation, privacy, data quality, analytics, informatics, and healthcare operations.
Canada-based employees can work during the same business hours as most U.S. organizations, communicate directly with patients, providers, payers, and internal teams, and operate within your existing reporting structure. They work in your systems and follow your procedures rather than functioning as an outside outsourced service centre.
Canadian professionals operate in a country with federal and provincial privacy requirements governing personal and health information. However, Canadian privacy experience does not automatically equal HIPAA compliance. Staff handling U.S. protected health information must still receive role-specific HIPAA training and work within required safeguards.
Hiring Canada-based healthcare operations professionals through Intra can reduce fully loaded employment costs while preserving the education, communication, and professional experience healthcare organizations require.
Healthcare experience is valuable, but U.S. healthcare has distinct payer, reimbursement, coding, and regulatory systems. We tailor recruitment to your requirements, including experience with:
We recruit around your EHR, payer mix, workflows, certifications, schedules, privacy requirements, and performance expectations.
Before recruitment begins, we help assess whether the role can be performed appropriately from Canada. Depending on the position, the assessment may consider a range of factors.
Canadian employment costs are structurally lower than their U.S. equivalents. The USD/CAD exchange rate, combined with Canada's lower employer-side healthcare and benefits obligations, means a highly qualified Canadian professional typically costs 20 to 40% less in total employment spend than a comparable hire in the U.S.
Intra charges $4 for every hour your hire works. That single fee covers the full staffing process and the ongoing Employer of Record management, combined, indefinitely.
There are no upfront fees, no retainers, no long-term commitments, no hidden fees, and no cancellation fees. Fees begin only when the employee starts working. You pay for the hours your hire works and nothing else. If circumstances change and the engagement needs to end, you simply stop. No paperwork, no penalties. That is it.
Enter the annual salary you are paying or expect to pay for a role, add your approximate benefits package, and see how the total employment cost compares between a U.S. hire and a Canadian hire through Intra.

Not every healthcare position can be staffed remotely from Canada.
Roles involving diagnosis, treatment, prescribing, independent clinical judgment, or direct telehealth care may require the professional to be licensed or otherwise legally permitted to practise in the state where the patient is located. This can apply to physicians, nurses, therapists, pharmacists, social workers, dietitians, utilization-review clinicians, and clinical case managers.
Some healthcare roles are excellent candidates for remote Canadian staffing, while others may be affected by licensing, payer, privacy, security, or operational restrictions. Intra evaluates these roles individually before recommending a staffing approach.
Your customized report will be delivered within two business days.
The early weeks of any new hire carry some inherent uncertainty. Skills do not always translate as expected. Team dynamics shift. Circumstances change. We know this, and we plan for it.
If a hire is not working out, Intra steps in immediately and restarts the search at no additional cost. We move with urgency and place a replacement as quickly as possible. No penalty. No additional fees of any kind.
Your staffing needs should never become a distraction from running your business. That responsibility is ours to carry. Our goal is simple: ensure you always have the right person in the seat so you can stay focused on what actually matters.
Strengthen your healthcare operations with exceptional Canada-based remote professionals while Intra manages the recruitment, employment, payroll, HR, and Canadian compliance.
