Five Reasons to Become a CPC Certified
During these harsh times, every penny counts. A recent 2008 AAPC Salary Survey revealed that Certified Professional Coders (CPC®) earn an average of 15% more than their non-certified counterparts. The average annual wage for a credentialed coder is $43,100, compared to $36,500 for a non-credentialed coder. Just imagine all the things that you could do with the extra money.ÂReason #2: Job Security
50% of survey respondents said that Certification was required for employment at their current positions (up from 42% in 2007). Secure your future by taking action today. Acquiring your CPC certification can not only bring you added income and credibility, it will also give you peace of mind.
