Visit ADVANCE for Health Information Professionals at http://health-information.advanceweb.com/. They just recently published their salary survey results for 2008. Also, subscribe to their magazine. It’s a free subscription. I graduated from a Medical Billing and Coding program and it’s not easy to find a job where I’m located, especially without a coding certification. Get into the program and make it a goal to get your coding certification when you finish. To me, anything in Allied Health field is good and will open doors to you working your way into a billing or coding department; even if you start as a medical office receptionist. In the end, you may decide to go into nursing. Some people eventually earn a job where they can work from home for a hospital or clinic doing medical billing and coding. Good luck!
Here’s a page from PayScale.com showing the median salary for medical billing and coding positions based on job title, years of experience, location and other factors: http://www.payscale.com/resear.....src=yahooA
And here’s a similar page, but for the median salary of a medical assistant: http://www.payscale.com/resear.....src=yahooA
