Community hospital just hired a contrast coder who charges $5.00 per record coded. Last week she coded 300 records. The HIM manager would like to hire a FTE instead of using a contract coder. She finds an experienced coder who wants a salary of $25.00 per hour. The hospital has a 30 percent benefit. What is the weekly salary of the contract coder?

Answer:

The contrast coder's weekly salary last week was $450.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

The CC charged $5.00 per record coded. The previous week she coded 300 records.

Write it like:

$5.00 x 300 = 1500.00

Though remember the hospital has a 30% benefit.

So:

1500.00 x 30%*=450.00

*0.30 if you can't do the % sign on the calculator

Sorry if it doesn't work out!
