Hire a Remote Healthcare Admin for Your Arizona Practice
Full-time remote healthcare administrators on Mountain Time for Phoenix, Tucson, and Scottsdale practices. AHCCCS, Medicare, and commercial payer fluent, HIPAA compliant. From $1,400 per month.
Why Arizona Practices Hire Remote Healthcare Admins
Phoenix is one of the fastest-growing healthcare markets in the country. Banner Health, HonorHealth, Mayo Clinic Arizona, and Dignity Health (CommonSpirit) anchor the metro. Around them sit thousands of independent primary care, cardiology, orthopedic, and dermatology practices serving a rapidly aging population. Arizona has one of the largest Medicare populations per capita in the US, and AHCCCS (Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System) is the state's Medicaid program, administered through MCOs like Mercy Care, Banner University Family Care, Care1st, and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan. Each MCO has its own portal, prior-auth rules, and claim submission quirks.
Local Phoenix practice admin pay runs $42,000 to $55,000 per year per Indeed, or $3,800 to $4,800 loaded. Maricopa County's population grew 15+ percent over the last decade per Census data, which means demand for healthcare back-office keeps growing faster than supply. Practices north of 5 providers quickly need 2 to 3 dedicated admins just for charge entry, claim submission, and follow-up.
A Teckas healthcare admin works your MST hours inside your PM/EHR, handles AHCCCS and Medicare claims, and fits under a signed BAA with HIPAA controls. BLS May 2023 medical records specialist national median is $47,180.
