CCMA Pay in Hawaii — Questions Answered

How much do CCMAs make in Hawaii?

The average CCMA salary in Hawaii is $22.41 per hour, or $46,620 per year based on full-time employment. This is 16% above the national average of $19.33/hr ($40,207/yr).

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

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 Hawaii?

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 Hawaii?

CCMAs in Hawaii 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.
