medical transcription, medical coding -which is better in salary wise?

Since you're from India, medical coding is a better option compared to medical transcription (which, in fact, is a declining field and hence the low salary of Rs 7000 a month).

In India, medical coders get anywhere from Rs.15,000-30,000 per month. However, you will need to pass the AAPC certification exam and get the Certified Professional Coder (CPC) credential. There are exam centres in India.

There is no age limit for medical coding. The AAPC exams are locally proctored (supervised) at Chennai. AAPC stands for American Academy of Professional Coders. It's an industry-standard global organization for medical coding certification.

Medical coding is the first step in the medical billing process and involves using ICD 9, CPT and HCPCS codes.

Medical transcription, also known as MT, is an allied health profession, which deals in the process of transcription, or converting voice-recorded reports as dictated by physicians or other healthcare professionals, into text format.
