Hey hey, welcome back to the show! So—quick question for all my healthcare folks out there…

Have you ever stopped mid-shift and thought, “Wait, am I even getting paid enough for all this?” Yeah. Been there.

And if you’re a Patient Care Coordinator—oh man, you’re wearing like five different hats on any given day.

Scheduling, coordinating, answering calls, explaining procedures, helping patients feel less overwhelmed.

It’s a big job. And naturally, the big question is—what’s the salary supposed to look like?

So, the average Patient Care Coordinator salary in the U.S. usually falls between $38K to $55K a year.

Not bad, but also—context totally matters, right?

Your pay depends on location, experience, certifications, and even the type of clinic you’re working in.

If you’re in a big city—New York, LA, Chicago—you’re likely on the higher end of that pay range.

Cost of living, patient volume—all that stuff plays a huge role.

Smaller practices or rural clinics might pay less, but sometimes offer better hours or solid benefits.

So yeah, it’s about balance.

Now, if you’ve got experience—especially with electronic medical record systems or care coordination certifications, you’re a hot commodity!

And that definitely bumps up your salary potential.

Here’s the thing—some employers are realizing just how essential Patient Care Coordinators are.

Like, you’re not just answering phones.

You’re doing patient follow-ups, managing insurance, communicating with providers—you’re the glue.

Some providers are getting competitive. Better salaries, flexible schedules, even hybrid remote roles.

A coordinator shared that her salary increased from $41,000 to $52,000 after moving from a clinic to a hospital system.

So yeah, that alignment between your responsibilities and your paycheck? Totally possible.

Wondering if you’re underpaid? You’re not alone.
