It all depends on the type of coding you are doing or the specialty coding type.
I've been reimbursed $5.00 a chart for ambulatory surgery for facility coding and $6.00 a chart for cardiology interventional chart coding. But that was over two years ago.
Don't short change yourself when negotiating a per chart fee. Remember if you are getting $5.00 dollars a chart, you need to code four charts an hour to earn $20.00 an hour for your salary.
