Wiki Coding Salary

[cyn123170]

This is not a coding question but I am just looking for some insight on a certified coders salary. I work for a RHC clinic in Lauderdale County Tennessee. We have 9 facilities in which I do the coding for 5 of those. I have to check the rejects for all 9 and batch claims and statements for all 9. Is the salary that is on Payscale.com for a CPC working for one facility? Does anyone else code for more than one facility?
