How much do vp of patient servicess make in 2026?
A vice-president of patient services is counted in the BLS medical and health services manager series, whose OEWS May 2025 national median is $123,860 a year ($59.55 an hour) for SOC 11-9111, with the bottom 10% near $73,390 and the top 10% at $224,340. Because that series pools clinic and department managers with hospital executives, the median is not a fair marker for a vice-president: the realistic band runs from the $166,100 P75 to the $224,340 P90, with larger systems above it once incentive compensation is included. The role differs from a chief nursing officer in scope rather than seniority — patient services usually spans clinical and non-clinical departments that touch the patient journey, which can include nursing units, care management, therapy services, patient access and patient experience, so the post is accountable for throughput and satisfaction as much as for clinical practice. Employment across the series is projected to grow 23.2% through 2034 with roughly 62,100 openings a year. → Full vp of patient services career guide, career path, credentials & placement →
