According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, job opportunities for medical coding professionals will grow by 20 percent by 2018. The BLS says the median salary for medical coders is $16.42 per hour. The aging Baby Boomer population, along with a move to electronic record-keeping in medicine, will greatly increase the need for medical coding professionals capable of entering accurate, properly formatted information, thus creating a spike in the demand for medical coders. Because of the high demand for medical coders and the ubiquitous presence of the health care industry throughout the nation, a trained professional can find a job in just about any community in the US.
