Hi everyone,

I wanted to ask if anyone knows how much of a salary increase you should ask for when you hold multiple certifications and you also have experience. For example I hold 3 certifications CPC, CIRCC and now my CCA. What I am worth? I know its depends on what region you live in but I think that the coding salary the aapc puts out every year is not always correct. I have couple of interviews and I dont know what I should be asking for? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks everyone! :)
 
Personally, I feel your area of expertise determines pay, rather than certification. If two people have the cpc, one has a couple years pro fee coding and the other 10 years auditing experience, the auditor will get paid more, even though they have the same certification. I hope that makes sense.
