How do most companies pay their remote coders? What should I expect? I'm newly certified but have 6 years of coding (mostly radiology) experience. I've been offered a remote job coding DX only (full-time but no benefits). The pay is per chart and seems kind of low. I know it's only DX and radiology is pretty straightforward but still....I was paid 22.00/hr (before I was certified) back in 2005 doing in-house coding for a third party billing company. Would it be unreasonable to expect to find a full-time remote job with benefits making at least 45k+? Of course I'm thinking of a more challenging position than just dx coding and it's not just about the money. I really want to be able to grow with a company and learn new stuff too. What are your thoughts? Also, wouldn't it be expected that these organizations would pay for additional CEUs and encourage further credentialing? I really love coding and want to throw myself into it, so I want something more than languishing away as a contract production coder. Am I asking too much?
