Medical administrative assistant training in New York

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

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

They need to know medical terms and codes, medical records and office procedures, which community colleges and technical schools teach.1

In New York, 8 of the 12 programs take students without a high school diploma and 4 ask for a diploma or equivalent.

By kind, the 12 programs here are medical administrative assistant certificate or course (8 programs), medical office with billing and coding (3 programs) and medical office (associate degree, 1 program).

Where the New York medical office administration program numbers come from

Which New York medical office administration programs are on this list?

These are the medical office administration programs New York 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 New York offers.

How the prices and results of New York 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 New York figures?

The US Department of Labor's own results site lists New York among the states with "known data quality concerns".10 The figures here are shown as the state reported them; check them with the school before you enroll.
