Hire a Remote Healthcare Admin for Your Pennsylvania Practice

Why Pennsylvania Practices Hire Remote Healthcare Admins
Pennsylvania has one of the most concentrated healthcare systems in the country. Penn Medicine, Jefferson Health, Temple, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and Main Line Health anchor greater Philadelphia. UPMC, one of the largest integrated delivery networks in the US, dominates Pittsburgh and western PA. Geisinger covers central and northeast PA. PA's population also skews older per US Census data, with one of the highest median ages among large states, which drives Medicare and MA volume. Around these systems sit thousands of independent and specialty practices that either refer into the networks or absorb overflow.
Pennsylvania Medical Assistance (the state Medicaid program) is administered through HealthChoices MCOs including Keystone First, AmeriHealth Caritas, UPMC for You, Geisinger Health Plan, and Highmark Wholecare. Each MCO portal has specific rules. Commercial is dominated by Independence Blue Cross in Philly and Highmark BCBS in Pittsburgh. Getting claims paid on time requires focused admin capacity.
PA admin pay per Indeed runs $44,000 to $56,000 per year, or $4,000 to $5,000 loaded. A Teckas admin on Eastern Time works inside your PM/EHR under signed BAA. BLS May 2023 median for medical records specialists is $47,180.
