Medical Billing Salaries

In order to avoid repetition,when referring to both medical coding salaries and billing salaries, I'll use the term medical billing coding salaries, O.K.?

Medical billing coding salaries are in line with the cost of billing and coding classes and the time required to complete the training.

For example: an RN makes about $60,000 per year after 2-4 years of training. A medical billing clerk makes roughly half that but can train in as little as a month.
