Hi
I am considering contracting and coding diagnostic radiology remotely. I have been offered two jobs...one pays 30 cents/chart, and the other pays 70 cents/chart.
This is my first time doing this, and I don't know (and can't find) much information on pay for contract coding. Any help would be appreciated. Is it usual to pay per chart, or by the hour? There's such a discrepancy between 30 and 70 cents! Why would that be? Is there an "average" rate for contract coding?
Thank you
 
varies

Yes, being an independent contractor is generally a per chart situation & it really varies according to the "client." The larger the "client" the more they are able to afford to pay a higher rate.
