Salary Survey in ADVANCE for HIM

[Guest guest]

The current ADVANCE arrived yesterday just as I was wrapping up the

semester, and I barely had time to check the TOC. One article of interest

compared salaries for several medical-record related jobs, based on a

survey. it's also on the website

(http://www.advanceforhim.com/common/editorial/editorial.aspx?cc=1233).

According to this survey, with 10 transcriptionists responding, the average

salary is about $30K. Coders, with 29 responding, earn an average of

$33.5K. Transcription managers (2 respondents) earn an average of

$43.4K. HIM directors (16) earn $49K.

There are too few respondents for me to draw the conclusion that the

results are definitive. Would anyone care to comment on that?
