Medical Billing and Medical Coding

Medical Billing and Coding experts translate medical procedures performed by physicians into a set of standard codes that facilitate the insurance claim and payment process. They perform an integral role in today's health care infrastructure. Medical practitioners, health insurance companies, and patients rely on medical billing and coding experts to connect the dots that will ensure a straight line of health information data communication among all parties.

Medical Billing and Coding Salaries
According to the 2005 Salary Survey of the American Academy of Professional Coders, certified coders earn $39,000 annually. Coders with 10 years of experience earn an average of $45,000 annually. Non-certified coders earn $1,000 to $7,000 less. According to AHIMA, those with an associate's degree typically earn $20,000 to $30,000 for starters. Those earning four-year degrees begin at $30,000 to $50,000 and can make $50,000 to $75,000 in five years.

Getting certified is vital to a professional medical coder's career. According to AAPC, certified coders can earn up to 25% more than non-certified coders.
