How much do CMAs make in Vermont?

The average CMA salary in Vermont is $20.69 per hour, or $43,040 per year based on full-time employment. This is 7% above the national average of $19.33/hr ($40,207/yr).

What is the highest-paying CMA work setting in Vermont?

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

Does CMA certification increase pay in Vermont?

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

How can I earn more as a CMA in Vermont?

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