sorry!! forgot to check this page. chart review &'back door auditing' are the same. the docs 'try' to code the procedures...then it goes to the coder, & they review to make sure the codes are accurate,

starting pay is very dependent upon your locale, & your need. easier to find a job as a facility side coder (ccs, &cpc-h) because there are hospitals everywhere. physician coding (ccs-p & cpc) usually don't work outside a multi specialty facility, or a teaching hospitals

l (shands is a good one, pay is good too) a small practice won't pay for a coder anymore than they'd pay for an RN. i started at $9.50 hr but it was a lonnng time ago

probably a couple years of school unless you (she) has transferrable credits from another degree.
