Medical Billing and Coding Pay – What’s the Real Earning Potential in 2025?

[emmyjohn]

Hi everyone, I'm considering a career in medical billing and coding pay and wanted to get a better understanding of the current pay rates in the industry. I've seen a lot of mixed information online—some say entry-level coders can expect modest salaries, while others mention that certified professionals with experience can earn a solid income. What's the reality in 2025? How much does location, certification (like CPC or CCS), or specialty affect medical billing and coding pay? I'd love to hear from those currently working in the field about what kind of pay range you're seeing, whether you're working remotely or in-office, and how your experience or credentials have influenced your salary growth over time. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
