CCMA Pay in Michigan — Questions Answered

How much do CCMAs make in Michigan?

The average CCMA salary in Michigan is $18.70 per hour, or $38,900 per year based on full-time employment. This is 3% below the national average of $19.33/hr ($40,207/yr).

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

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 Michigan?

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 Michigan?

CCMAs in Michigan 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.
