Methodology and Sources

Listing figures are computed from every active, paid medical biller listing on MedicalBillingHires at the time shown, and refreshed every six hours.

Listings on a job board are not a random sample of all medical biller jobs, so read them as a picture of current hiring, not of total employment.

This page is published only while the live sample has at least 300 listings from 25 employers.

Advertised pay is the midpoint of the range an employer posts, or its single figure, and hourly and annual postings are never converted into each other.

The headline is the employer median: each employer’s own median, then the median across employers, so a group posting hundreds of openings counts once.

A pay figure needs at least 30 listings from 10 employers and is withheld when one employer posted more than half of them.

Federal figures come from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the other sources listed below, quoted as published, with the year in each sentence.

BLS has no medical-biller occupation. The BLS wage on this page is for billing and posting clerks (SOC 43-3021), the closest available occupation, which covers every industry; about 44% of its payroll jobs were in health care and social assistance in May 2025. Medical collections staff are counted by BLS in bill and account collectors (SOC 43-3011), and billing supervisors in first-line office supervisors (SOC 43-1011); neither is blended in here. OEWS covers payroll employees only.
