Wiki Charging for coding from home

[aandersoncpc]

I have the opportunity to code from home at my part time job, but am unsure what the "average" charge per chart is? I cannot be paid hourly as there is no way to clock in and out, so I have to come up with an amount to be paid per chart. Any ideas on how much to charge?

Depends on what type of charts you will be coding.

At this point, all outpatient and ER

I would recommend how much you would like to be paid per hour divided by how many you think you can do a hour.
