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.

  1. Florida
  2. Texas
  3. California
  4. North Carolina
  5. Georgia

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:

  1. Dallas, TX
  2. Houston, TX
  3. New York City, NY
  4. Los Angeles, CA
  5. Chicago, IL

The above data is based on May 2016 figures. Sourced from actual job listings and employment data.

What puts these cities in practical prominence are 3 unique factors:

(a) Higher per-hour salary for certified medical coders

(b) Growth opportunities within a re-energized healthcare economy

(c) Stable employment prospects that have proven themselves to be recession-proof.

Mrs. Ortega's amazing online classes helped me pass my CPC exam on the very first try. Her method of giving you the information you need to pass your exam without all the unnecessary filler is essential to passing the exam. Her "love it or leave it method" really saved me time, so much that I finished 40 minutes early! Her color-coding method is A MUST to draw your attention to the info you need, eliminating precious time wasted on those exam questions. Do exact what she says! Memorize the codes, study the guidelines and learn that terminology!

Mrs. Ortega’s online medical coding course from start to finish, it was clear how much thought, effort, and heart she put into every lesson. Her teaching style was clear, encouraging, and incredibly supportive — even through a screen, you could feel her dedication. She broke down complex topics in a way that made them manageable and even enjoyable. She instilled confidence and a real sense of purpose in her students. Mrs. Ortega is not only a fantastic instructor but also a kind and compassionate guide. I’m so grateful to have learned from her. Also the communication with other staff members and their response to emails are just always a breeze. They have great communication

She gives you all the instruction you need to successfully pass the test. Honestly, she gives you more. I learned more from her then from college classes I took about coding. Mrs. Ortega is amazing woman and a great teacher.

Hi everyone! I passed the COC exam! I am so grateful that I discovered Mrs. Ortega and MCA. This is my second certification under Mrs. Ortega's instruction this year. I took the MCA online courses for both the CPC and COC preparation. Honestly, she has been an unexpected blessing in my life this year. I have no doubt whatsoever that God intervened in my discovering her class. She is an amazing teacher. I am going to get my CRC and CPMA certifications next. I would strongly encourage anyone undecided about taking a class, to make a decision and step out on faith. Nothing is impossible with God. I wish you all a Merry Christmas.

I did the online courses through Medical Coding Academy and couldn’t be more pleased. This was a late in life (turning 60 this year) decision to take the course. I passed my CPC exam on the first attempt. I had previously started a different course and quickly lost interest and couldn’t get motivated to continue. Then I came across all the excellent reviews for MCA. I was skeptical at first but once I received all my books and materials, I realized this is the real deal. I actually wanted to turn on the videos and work in the case workbook daily. The staff is very responsive to any questions. Mrs. Ortega is such an excellent teacher. While taking my exam, I could hear her voice in my head, reminding me of all the guidelines and rules. If you’re on the fence about taking the course, just do it. You won’t be sorry.

I have been a Registered Nurse since 2007 and have been looking for a career shift. This program was a God send! Ms. Ortega knows what she is talking about. She is an excellent teacher and truly has invested herself in the success of others. From the tabbing system all the way to the coding cases workbook, it is all so efficient in explaining and teaching the material. Medical Coding Academy has made my dream a reality!

she is a gift to the teaching of coding. I was amazed by her skill set. She breaks it down for you in ways you never thought was possible. I left other coding Facebook groups so I wouldn't get confused. I have looked into coding for a couple years now. I searched "coding bootcamp" and Ms. Ortega came up. I was skeptical at first, thinking there is no way. But a part of me was saying do it. Maybe it was my higher power telling me to finally jump and commit. I truly believed she would show me the way. She did! If you have question whether you should take this class or not, please I hope my review will make you jump! I went to the bootcamp in ATL. I won't lie I didn't sleep for 3 days. We were in class for 11 hours and had hours of homework, but it was beyond worth it. She keeps you awake and focused the entire time. Thank you, Ms. Ortega.

I did my CPC with Medical Coding Academy in 2021. And now I did my CPMA certification with them. Mrs. Ortega has made it so easy to understand. She connects with real life examples which definitely helps to understand better. She is a wonderful teacher. While watching her videos, I feel as if I m in a classroom. Just follow Mrs. Ortega’s direction and move ahead..the success is yours…

Medical Coding Academy online was such a blessing to me! From the moment the shipment arrived, it was very evident the passion and hard work Mrs. Ortega put into perfecting this program. The materials are well designed-from the tabbing system all the way to the flashcards and resumes, Mrs. Ortega thought of it all for her students. The CPC exam is a challenging test, but with this program, I knew I was equipped to handle that challenge. Mrs. Ortega teaches you invaluable information and strategies to master everything the test throws at you. I am pleased to say that I passed the exam on the first try! The most important part of it all is that Mrs. Ortega gives all the glory to God, and her heart is for her students to know Him. She uses her platform for His glory! If you are thinking of getting into medical coding, I highly recommend Medical Coding Academy!

I wholeheartedly recommend Medical Coding Academy to anyone interested in pursuing a career in medical coding. I am someone who always researches products, services, schools and basically anything or anyone I will invest my time and money in. After I did my due diligence, I decided to enroll myself in Medical Coding Academy’s online course. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the results. Before the course, I had no medical coding experience. However, now I have so much knowledge and I was competently prepared to take the certification exam. It was a very tough exam, but I am glad to say that I passed it on my first try! It is evident that Mrs. Ortega loves her profession and that she is extremely knowledgeable. Most importantly, she is able to teach her students effectively and provide them with the tools they need for success. If all of that was not enough, it is clear that Mrs. Ortega has an emotional investment in her students and wants them to succeed. It is a rare thing to find in a school and an instructor. I am very grateful and I will definitely enroll in future certification courses with Medical Coding Academy.

When I decided on a career in Medical Coding, I began to research and weigh options. My research led me to three options, an associates through my local community college, a certificate and internship with another online program, or Medical Coding Academy. I joined each group, read reviews, compared options. In the end I chose Medical Coding Academy due to its affordability, A+ ratings and reviews on Better Business Bureau, as well as its 87% success rate of its students passing the exam on the first try. What I experienced went far beyond my expectations. Mrs. Delissa Ortega's engaging classes, unique teaching style, and comprehensive methods met my specific learning style. Her support desk answered all my questions, her instructions prepared me for the exam. Thank you for your dedication and commitment in providing knowledge, experience, and in depth resources.

There are not enough positive words to say about my experience thus far with Medical Coding Academy! Mrs. Ortega, Ms. Belen, and all of the staff are very helpful, very responsive, and it is evident that they genuinely care about the success of each individual student who takes their medical coding courses. I am a teacher and have been in education for quite some time, and for me personally, this is the most well-designed courses I have ever taken. The strategies and techniques that Mrs. Ortega teaches are ones that I wish many educators would be able to see and adapt to fit their content areas of teaching, because the strategies in this course really do work. It amazes me that I have learned so much in this course, so quickly and I really feel that I have gained long-term knowledge that I will be able to use in my career and future endeavors. I can say that I would definitely recommend Mrs. Ortega and Medical Coding Academy's CPC Exam course and I am excited to say that I will be taking another course very soon to add to my credentials. From one educator to another, Mrs. Ortega- I just want to thank you again for your coding content knowledge, genuine caring about your students, and the countless hours and effort you put in to designing a course that will allow others to learn this skill set in an efficient manner that undoubtedly facilitates retention of knowledge. Your faith-based support and encouragement makes me love the course even more and I cannot wait to take the next one! Sincerely, Kaycee Struck
