\"ICD-10<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to a salary survey conducted by the\u00a0American Academy of Professional Coders<\/em>\u00a0(AAPC), medical coders experienced 8.4% average increase in their salaries in 2014. The survey also stated that the salaries of certified medical coders in the US have increased to an average of $50,775 annually.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

With only a few months left for the implementation deadline of ICD-10, certified coders are in huge demand. As per the industry reports this demand will increase by 30 – 40% in 2015. In a market that\u2019s already strained with shortage of coders, this increased demand will pose\u00a0challenges for hospitals and healthcare organizations.<\/p>\n
