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.
