Organization Size required

Another key determining factor of annual income is the size of the organization where the healthcare manager is employed. Smaller organizations typically take on fewer healthcare management professionals and pay slightly less than average, since their resources are more limited and the role of the healthcare manager itself is a bit more limited in scope. These might include long-term care facilities or private doctor practices. Large hospitals and insurance companies typically pay more, but they also expect their healthcare management professionals to be highly trained, responsible for numerous concurrent tasks, and capable of working without supervision on a regular basis. There is often a correlation between level of responsibility and the size of the organization, facility or practice.
