Medical administrative assistant training in Washington

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

23 schools offer these medical office administration programs, and Washington 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 Washington, 4 of the 47 programs take students without a high school diploma, 26 ask for a diploma or equivalent and 17 ask for earlier courses first.

By kind, the 47 programs here are medical administrative assistant certificate or course (24 programs), medical office (associate degree, 12 programs), medical receptionist, patient access or unit clerk (10 programs) and medical office with billing and coding (1 program).

How to pay for medical administrative assistant training in Washington

WIOA funding can pay for medical administrative assistant training in Washington

Every program on this page is approved for it. Whether you qualify, how much your local area pays and how to apply are on our page Does WIOA pay for job training?

Financial aid and grants for medical administrative assistant training

Most students can get federal student aid for college, career school or trade school. A Federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, usually doesn't have to be repaid. Ask the school whether its program qualifies.⁶⁷

GI Bill for medical administrative assistant training

Veterans, service members and qualified dependents can use GI Bill benefits for non-college training programs.⁸

The program list does not show which programs accept these. Ask the school.

Where the Washington medical office administration program numbers come from

Which Washington medical office administration programs are on this list?

These are the medical office administration programs Washington 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 Washington offers.

How the prices and results of Washington 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.
