Given the intense competition in some parts of the US for coding and billing jobs, it is only fair to say that you should use every available advantage and opportunity at your disposal to increase your employability and competitive edge.
The keywords here are certification, experience, and location because these are the three main factors that determine how much you earn as a medical coder.
If you have at least 2 of the 3 factors in your favor (e.g., certification and experience, or certification and location, or experience and location), then your earning potential increases exponentially.
Salary data reveals that the more AAPC credentials you carry, the higher your salary. The average salary in 2015 of members with:
- 1 credential (any credential) was $47,899
- 2+ credentials (any credentials) were $58,399
- 3+ credentials (any credentials) were $65,643
Only a little more than 12% of our certified members hold multiple credentials currently.
- (CPC) – $50,593
- (CPC-H/COC) – $58,822
- (CPC-P) – $57,995
- (CPPM) – $64,666
- (CPMA) – $68,115
- (CPCO) – $70,113
- Specialty Credentials – $53,489
Members living in the East North Central part of the United States (Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio) saw a 2.2% increase in salaries from last year. If you add it to the 6.1% increase those states received in 2014, that’s more than an 8% increase in two years, from $44,816 in 2013 to $48,584 in 2015.
The demographic that makes the most income is the Pacific region (Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington), with an average salary of $57,021. This may be due to a higher cost of living.
Average CCS salaries for job postings nationwide are 12% lower than average salaries for all job postings nationwide, which is between $52,000 to $62,000.

More than 65% of all medical billing and coding activity is concentrated in these 21 US states:
Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, California, New York, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Louisiana, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky, Illinois, West Virginia, Missouri, Massachusetts, Ohio, and New Jersey.
If you are a certified coder looking at an employment scenario, then these are the Top 5 cities right now:
- Dallas, TX
- Houston, TX
- New York City, NY

(b) Growth opportunities within a re-energized healthcare economy
(c) Stable employment prospects that have proven themselves to be recession-proof.
In October, I attended MCA CPC 3-day Bootcamp in Atlanta taught by Mrs. Ortega. The decision to register was difficult due to finances; however, it was one of the... show more BEST decisions I’ve ever made. Mrs. Ortega’s teaching passion was evident from the beginning of the bootcamp until the very end. She was answering questions even as she was leaving to catch her flight. She is an AMAZING teacher. Not only did she explain coding techniques, but she also shared a wealth of knowledge on what to expect in the real world of coding. She encouraged, motivated and challenged us not to stop at a CPC credential, but to pursue additional credentialing (which I will ONLY do through MCA). I had taken two other coding classes prior to MCA and neither educated me the way Mrs. Ortega and the assigned required pre-work has. Yes, you will have to put in the work, but I’m pleased to report that I PASSED the exam on my second attempt after being only 4 points off on my first attempt. First, Praise be to God and second, Thank You Mrs. Ortega. I’m already preparing to register with MCA for my next certification. If you’re contemplating on whether you should register with MCA, I pray my review will assist you in that decision. Let 2020 be the beginning of something NEW. Again, my sincere thanks to Mrs. Ortega for giving us your “ALL.” May God continue to Bless You!!!!!

I had an extremely wonderful experience with MCA and Mrs. Ortega during the time of my 3 day course in Orlando this past weekend! Admittedly, I had doubts about my... show more abilities to learn everything I needed to pass my board exam within only a 3 day weekend course, along with absolutely zero experience in medical coding and billing (not to mention never laying eyes on a single code prior to class). I am the type of person that likes to explore all my options and see everything out as they are. I am telling you now, DO NOT GO THE LONG WAY AROUND THE MOUNTAIN!!! Sign up for her course, it is only for your own good! Absolutely everything that is pertinent to passing the board exam is covered within your 3 days with Mrs. Ortega. Do not waste your ENERGY, MONEY, or TIME with any other program, whether it is a vocational school or online program. You will only be hurting yourself in the end. You will not gain the essential and practical knowledge needed to pass your exam, become certified, and land a job. Mrs. Ortega is absolutely your best coach, and breaks everything down until she makes you completely understand, before moving on. Both her and her staff have an incredible response time, and work around the clock to take care of their students. They absolutely have your best interest at heart while you are a part of their program. She is such a genuine and good-hearted person, and wants to make sure every single one of her students succeed. I know walking out of class that I will absolutely pass my Board Exam on the first try. Long story short, take the plunge, YOU WILL THANK YOURSELF LATER!! �

I HIGHLY recommend Medical Coding Academy. I am new to this industry and I initially thought it would be overwhelming to take a 3 day bootcamp course, so I chose... read more to do the online course. After following along with the unique teaching of Mrs Ortega, I soon realized I would have been fine either way. Mrs Ortega teaches in away that is very thought provoking yet simple to follow. And the wonderful part about online learning is that you can go at your own pace, pause and review, and take notes as needed. I am forever grateful to Mrs Ortega and her team, because I passed that very CHALLENGING board exam 😉 and I look forward to a successful future. So if you are on the fence about Medical Coding Academy, I suggest you jump on over, and DO EVERYTHING THIS WOMAN TELLS YOU TO DO!! Enjoy you journey, and be Blessed.

Question: How did you come across Medical Coding Academy? Answer: God I have an associate degree in HIM and I was not at all ready to take any exam after just having... read more a baby right on graduation day. I've been beating myself up about failing and spending tons of money trying to pass any exam. I just happen to be browsing youtube to watch some videos to refresh my memory on what I had learned. I came across Mrs. Ortega videos and I kept thinking wow she understands everything I'm going through right now. I signed up for the CPC class in Houston. At first, I was kind of skeptical about the whole thing, but after taking her three day class I learned so much! I had the best time. I was truly sad on our last day because it was over. I also learned from other students. This class for me was such a confidence booster on my life and not just passing the exam. I appreciate everything and I will never forget what I learned. I'm positive I will be taking more courses with Mrs. Ortega.

I went to Mrs Ortega’s Sept. 2018 3-day prep course! It was nothing short of amazing! She is very passionate about the process of learning, she answers your questions and... read more makes sure you understand before moving on in the lesson. I have been Coding(not Certified for over 4years) her course and preparation gave me the confidence i needed... Guess what: I PASSED ON MY FIRST TIME TAKING THE TEST. Thank you Mrs Ortega for your dedication and hard work you put into teaching your students !

Mrs. Ortega gave me everything I needed and more. Most people think it would be impossible to learn what you need in three days, these are the longest three days... read more of your life and it's worth every minute!!!! Her energy kept my attention the entire time. As long as you do your part, she does all of hers and more. She's awesome. I can't speak on anyone else but Mrs. Ortega gets the job done!

I got the online program on Monday after finding out MCA finally went online! I am waiting on my exam prep kit in the mail but I was given... read more immediate access to the online training videos! I had a ton of things to do on Monday but I went ahead and watched the first video just to get myself motivated before running out of the house to do all my errands. The next thing I know today is day 3 and I still haven't left the house to run my errands because I've been binge watching ever since! Mrs Ortega steals your heart from the very beginning! She's serious and tough one minute then gets playful and fun the next. She'll get after you and call you out on something but then she totally gets away with it because you know she has your best interest at heart. I felt a duty to report on this program because I have a double master's degree and I have never witnessed a teacher like her. My years of college were 100 percent in the classroom and none of my professors had her energy and fire. But the shocking thing is that all this passion just keeps slapping you in the face and you're not even in the classroom with her! How does she make all of this come across in a video???!!! Its an online program yet she still commands your attention but and keeps it too. Its wild! Thank you teacher and thank you MCA. I only wish you would have gone online 3 years ago because I have ordered 3 different online programs including the one from aapc and MCA puts every last one of them to shame. I just finished the integumentary system and I went from hating that subject to loving it! I'll try my best to keep you all posted! September 17th I just want to scream to the world right now that I passed my board exam on the first try after completing MCA's on line program!!!! Evem though I took a class before mca I found out i really didn't have an idea about coding ...the other program was too focused on teaching things that didnt matter but after giving myself a do or die deadline with mca online, I finished the entire course in 2.5 months! I took the program extremely seriously and learned everything Mrs Ortega had to teach me because quite honestly she is a hell of a teacher the...the lady has a gift .......I never once had to submit a question to them...It was unreal....i am just did grateful to mca and can't wait to land my first job...look out world here I come :)

I recommend the Medical Coding Academy for a number of reason.Upon signing up for the CPC (Certified Professional Coders) Class I watched Mrs.Ortega’s YouTube videos and with doing that I... read more just new I had to take her class. Mrs. Ortega is more than knowledgeable about all subject matters in regards to the Medical Coding and any and all of the classes that are offered by the Medical Coding Academy. Mrs. Ortega is a kind , smart, motivated, God-sent woman that that is cheering for everyone to be great and succeed at their endeavors.. Mrs. Ortega will make sure you have a understanding of all subject matter because she more than cares that you have a grasp of all the material at hand. In the 3 day Coding class there were many people that walk in to class of many different walks of life and careers.But while in that class Mrs.Ortega is able to project a understanding of any and all subject matter to the whole class. Mrs.Ortega makes sure that you are more that prepared for for the class, the state board test and real life on the job functions .I actually went to college for Medical billing and Coding and obtain Associates Degree in Medical Billing and Coding as well as a Bachelors in Biology and Chemistry. But I learned far more in the 3 day boot camp class offered by the Medical Coding Academy which is owned by Mrs. Ortega then I learned while obtaining my associates,to were I felt more than comfort taking the state board test immediately after the class. I took the test on July 30, 2018 and I passed the CPC with a 90% out of 100.Since July 2018 I have taken the following classes thru the Medical Coding Academy - Certified Outpatient Coder Class-COC Certified Professional Medical Auditor Class- CPMA Certified Professional Biller Class -CPB Certified Professional Coder Class -CPC Certified Professional Compliance Officer Class - CPCO Certified Professional Practice Manager Class - CPMA Certified Risk Adjustment Class - CRC. I have obtained the following certification from taking taken the classes offered by by Mrs . Ortega and the Excellent organization of the Medical Coding Academy . CPC COC CRC CPCO CPMA CPPM I am scheduled to take the CPB ( Billing Test) and the CDEO ( Documentation) Test in January 2021. I want to one day have my own medical coding and billing office. So these class and certifications are directly in line with my future becoming even more a success. Being that I have worked in the pharmacy field for over twenty years but the work that I do and have done in the pharmacy field also intermingled with the medical field with the clinical work , coding , and billing . Taking all the classes and obtain the various different certifications through the Medical Coding Academy has allowed me to have so , so , many options to outpouring all my different degrees as well as certifications in the pharmacy field , the medical arena , and the world 🌍 of medical billing and coding. I now have options , I can work for someone else, I can work for myself, and/ or I can do both. I have opened up a gift that keeps on giving with numerous possibilities. Without having this education I would not be able to fulfill the dream of opening my own business .The Medical Coding Academy help put my goals as a business owner in perspective. I am now the owner of Rare Brilliance LLC, which will obtain work to provide the following- * Pharmacy Services ( Pre Authorizations and Prior Authorizations) * As well as services regarding medical billing and coding * Plus consulting on various medical and pharmacy insurances. * Tutoring on subjects regarding biology, chemistry, some advanced math , and pharmacy technician classes. The Medical Coding Academy has allowed me to work in a arena that I love, I love to be help others, inform patient’s of their options, and assist in the education of both young and older students . The Medical Coding had supplied a whole new word of education regarding the medical field as a whole. To all of you that are on the fence about take a class with the Medical Coding Academy , make a investment in yourself to where you can go work at any doctor’s office, hospital, or even go to work for yourself and start your own business.Mrs.Ortega is a superior educator as well as all of the other 5 educators that are on this panel of educating. Choosing the Medical Coding Academy will be one of the best decisions that you will make in your life time. You will gain so many more valuable skills , knowledge , understandings and a overall better form of yourself . To where you will never regret choosing the Medical Coding Academy. Mrs. Ortega and her staff are amazing and will make sure that you understand any and all subjects matter of any and all classes that you take. Thank You Medical Coding Academy Your a Rockstar!!!!!!
