1 Medical assistants across the country enthusiastically participated in the 2013 Compensation and Benefits Survey, conducted by the American Association of Medical Assistants. More than 4,400 medical assistants completed the survey. The AAMA ed an electronic questionnaire to a random sampling of more than 35,000 medical assistants and medical assisting educators. Most of the participants were CMAs (AAMA) (88 percent) and members of the AAMA (94 percent). The large number of participants ensures that the results have a high degree of statistical reliability. Statistical reliability and terms used The overall margin of error for the 4,438 responses is ±1.5 percent at the 95 percent confidence level. Margin of error describes the statistical reliability of the sample as an estimate of the population. The margin of error should be treated only as an approximation, since margin of error calculations are based on pure random selection, which is not achievable in traditional survey settings where response is voluntary. The ±1.5 percent margin of error applies to overall statistics based on the total respondents to the survey smaller breakout groups presented throughout the report have higher margins of error. Judgments based on statistics with very low sample sizes should be made with caution. Statistics are rounded to the nearest whole number. Compensation American Association of Medical Assistants 2013 Medical Assisting Compensation and Benefits Report Both hourly pay rates and annual gross salaries were collected on the survey. Over 96 percent of full-time medical assistants are paid hourly, while roughly 4 percent are paid by annual salary. By CMA (AAMA) certification Average hourly wages and salary vary according to years of experience for all medical assistants surveyed. -time medical assistants holding a current CMA (AAMA) certification earn an average of $15.35 per hour or an average annual salary of $29,889. These earnings are above the averages of $14.29 or $27,914 collected for full-time medical assistants who have not achieved CMA (AAMA) certification and may or may not hold another type of medical assisting certification. Comparisons for full-time CMAs (AAMA) and non-cmas (AAMA) are broken down by years of experience in Table 1. Employers are not only paying higher wages for the CMA (AAMA), they are also increasingly demanding that their medical assistants have a CMA (AAMA) credential. Every day the AAMA responds to more than 100 employer requests for CMA (AAMA) certification verification for both current and potential employees. Such demand is often due to the pressures of potential malpractice suits and the certification mandates placed on employers by managed care organizations. 1 Additionally, on August 23, 2012, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) ruled that only credentialed medical assistants including CMAs (AAMA) as well as licensed health care professionals, would be allowed to enter medication, laboratory, and radiology orders into the computerized provider order entry system for meaningful use purposes for the Medicare and Medicaid Electronic Health Records (EHR) Incentive Programs. 2 The CMA (AAMA) must have current status to use the credential, including for qualifying to enter orders for the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs. By geographic region The average annual earnings and hourly wages were computed for geographic regions of the United States (Figure 1). The Pacific region showed the highest earnings for full-time current CMAs (AAMA), with averages of $33,322 annually and $17.60 hourly. Across the country, New England turned in the second highest annual earnings ($30,997), while the West North region showed the second Table 1.
