RN Coder & RN Auditor Salaries around the country?

Belinda asked me a great question today, "Would like to get some realistic RN coder wages validated so I can recruit."

Here's my reply:

OK, depending on your area, www.INDEED.com has quite a bit of information on Salaries.

Go to www.Indeed.com  and scroll down and you'll see "Salaries".  Put in your zipcode, city or state.  A zip code is the most specific, the state the least specific.  So depending on how wide you cast your net, you will get less or more information.

Key words:  RN Coder   or   RN Auditor

If you want to compare job titles, you'll see there is usually a difference between "RN Coder "  and   "nurse coder".

Over the years, what I've seen is typically the RNs get their going wage for their area + a 15 - 25% "bump" for coding certification.

There is also a difference between employers.  For example, in most areas of the US an insurance company or a government agency usually pays more than a hospital, for example.

REMEMBER:  You can also sign up for "Job Alerts" the same way.  Job title, "RN Coder" and your area with your email.  You will start receiving job postings in your area.
