Is anyone here familiar with medical coding? I'm planning to steer my career towards that direction. I have a vague idea of the general salary that a coder gets. I'm planning to head towards coding for radiology. Does anyone here know the annual pay that a radiology coder gets? Please let me know if possible.

That sounds so interesting! What does a coder do exactly?

A coder extracts a medical diagnosis and turns into a alphanumeric code, sends to an insurance company for reimbursement. That's the basic gist of it but there are other intracacies involved with the position like the various accounting/billing systems we use to track every kind of money coming in to the hospital via the medical codes.

Interesting! I worked a different side of that. I did data entry where the doctors and hospitals send us the forms and we entered the codes for the insurance company. I loved that job! Good luck to you in pursing this.

Thanks triedit. I hope I can share the same enthusiasm as you did with your job.
