CCMA Pay in Alaska — Questions Answered

How much do CCMAs make in Alaska?

The average CCMA salary in Alaska is $22.15 per hour, or $46,080 per year based on full-time employment. This is 15% above the national average of $19.33/hr ($40,207/yr).

What is the highest-paying CCMA work setting in Alaska?

Specialty clinics (cardiology, dermatology, surgery centers) and hospital outpatient departments typically pay more than primary-care physician offices. Adding phlebotomy or billing/coding skills also increases earning potential in most settings.

Does CCMA certification increase pay in Alaska?

Yes — CCMA-certified medical assistants typically out-earn uncertified peers, since certification signals verified clinical competency (including phlebotomy and EKG) and often qualifies candidates for expanded duties that uncertified MAs aren't permitted to perform. Many employers list CCMA certification as required or preferred for higher-paying roles.

How can I earn more as a CCMA in Alaska?

CCMAs in Alaska can increase pay by: (1) specializing in a high-demand practice area (cardiology, dermatology, surgery), (2) adding phlebotomy or billing/coding credentials, (3) moving to a larger metro area, or (4) advancing to a practice manager or LPN/RN role.
