Medical Coding and Billing salary an hour?
Asked by Solace78
I'm suppose to be starting school on the 25th this month. The loan I'm going to have to pay back after I graduate makes me not want to go, but I feel like I my backs against the wall on this one. -But that's another story. But my question is how much does someone in medical billing/coding make an hour? Maybe it varies in different states depending on the cost of living. But I'm here in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. If you are currently have or had this job description, you're answer would be a big help. Thank you.
