How Much Can I Earn?
One national journal recently quoted an average country-wide salary of $26,556 per year.
Regional differences ranged from $22,000 to $36,000. Another reputable source gave a range
of up to $55,000. Graduates are certainly not going to come anywhere close to the high end
right away. The higher salaries are clearly for those with years of experience and
expertise.
A colleague recently told us his home medical billing service employs several
coders who also work from home. They make $22,000 to $26,000 per year. Salaries also vary
according to geographic location. Your education and skill level have a great deal to do
with your future earning potential. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
