Medical Coding and Billing Salary in Nebraska
In Nebraska, medical coders earn $54,142 annually on average, which is on par with the regional average of $54,197.
The largest cities for medical coders in Nebraska are Omaha and Lincoln. While the two most common employer types are health systems and hospitals (inpatient and outpatient settings), small group practices (2-10 physicians) rank third, indicating medical coding job opportunities in rural Nebraska.
About 56% of Nebraska’s medical coders work remotely, earning $57,767 on average. Given the higher compensation, we can reason that employers fill their remote positions with veteran coders. Other top earners in Nebraska tend to hold their CEMC, COC, CPC, or CPMA — and work in medical auditing or coding management.
