Medical Coding and Billing Training Classes in Kentucky

Medical coders in Kentucky earn an average salary of $51,413—roughly on par with the East South Central regional salary average: $51,902.

Kentucky provides a good job market for medical coders. The best way to maximize income is to hold one more of these AAPC certifications (Kentucky’s top earners tend to hold these credentials in common): CEMC, COC, CPC, CPC-I, CPMA, or CRC. The largest cities for medical coders in this state to find jobs include Louisville, Lexington, and Bowling Green.

The most common workplaces are hospitals (working in both the outpatient and inpatient departments), health systems, and large group practices (50+ physicians). An overwhelming 48% of the state’s coders work remotely, earning $54,438—just a bit more than the state average. While most of these remote coding positions were for Kentucky-based organizations, a good number of coders worked for facilities in Minnesota, Tennessee, or Texas. 

The best place to go for coding and billing information is AAPC , the nation’s largest professional organization for the business of healthcare. AAPC offers certifications, code books, exam prep materials, local chapters, distance learning classes, and other resources.

AAPC annually reviews salaries of healthcare business professionals based on location, education, experience, credential, and many other data points. These statistics are all based on the most recent survey, which resulted in nearly 20,000 responses. For additional information, view the overall survey analysis or the Salary Survey Calculator.
