Medical administrative assistant training in Idaho

10 medical office programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free

5 schools offer these medical office administration programs, and Idaho has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.

Medical secretaries and administrative assistants keep a medical office running: they take basic patient histories, arrange hospital admissions and process insurance payments. They need to know medical terms and codes, medical records and office procedures, which community colleges and technical schools teach.1

In Idaho, 4 of the 10 programs take students without a high school diploma and 6 ask for a diploma or equivalent.

By kind, the 10 programs here are medical administrative assistant certificate or course (5 programs), medical office with billing and coding (4 programs) and medical receptionist, patient access or unit clerk (1 program).

Where the Idaho medical office administration program numbers come from

Which Idaho medical office administration programs are on this list?

These are the medical office administration programs Idaho approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).9 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Idaho offers.

How the prices and results of Idaho medical office administration programs are measured

Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.

How reliable are the Idaho figures?

We leave out the share working 6 months later for Idaho: its rates sit far below every other state's.
