How much money does a surgical assistant earn?

Answer 1

This will depend on several things. Location for one, but then it will depend on what area such as a hospital, private practice, Vererans Admin, or State/County/City run medical facilities. Your degree, any certifications and experience will also play into it. Just go online and read the newspapers of some of the major cites and you can make a scale.

Answer 2

My Pay Experience:

I make around $30,000 a year as an admin assistant, plus $100 a month to go towards health insurance.

Another Pay Experience:

I make about $40K a year. It depends on what field you go into and where you work in the country and city.

Another Pay Experience:

I live in San Francisco and make $58K per year. Before the economy fell my job would have paid closer to $70K.

Another Pay Experience:

Around 30-40k but it all depends on your location, specific field, who you are working for and what you bring to the table. Good luck!

Another Perspective:

This varies wildly from one region to another, and also which industry you are working in, not to mention level of experience and size of the office (range of duty's)

A small business with few employees in a low industry region will pay little more than standard secretarial pay ranges: 20-30k a year. A larger company with a wider range of responsibility (and the same job title) could pay as much as 60-80k a year.

To put it another way: I've seen filing clerks with this title that are paid minimum wage, where as another company the administrative assistant was also in charge of all human resources and company payroll, where in she was paid quite well (almost as much as the executives)

Answer 3

Medical assistants can earn anywhere between $20k and $36k, depending on their experience level, industry, and region of employment. Government-employed medical assistants earn the most ($36,430/year average), and those employed by insurance agencies ($35,470). Many of these places employ medical assistants for their medical education with regard to paperwork and documents. The highest paying states are Alaska ($33,500), Massachusetts ($32,900) and Connecticut ($32,600). The lowest paying states are West Virginia ($21,780), Louisiana ($22,640) and Wyoming ($23,520).

Answer 4

Depends on the surgical field and the assistants experience/education.

Answer 5

Medical office assistants are not as well paid as those in some other states. On average, they earn about $25,000 a year.
