What changed since May 2024

Medical Billing Specialist median annual wage, United States
Release	Median
BLS OEWS May 2024	$47,170
BLS OEWS May 2025	$48,500

The published medians differ by $1,330. Sources: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, OEWS May 2024 and May 2025. This is not an annualized growth claim. Area definitions and the workers represented can change.

What belongs in the pay comparison

OEWS includes straight-time gross wages, guaranteed pay, commissions and production bonuses. It excludes overtime, nonproduction bonuses and employer-paid benefits. If this person covers a payroll deadline, an overdue billing queue or a late close, the overtime bill is separate. A shift differential is also excluded. Compare the regular wage first, then explain the extra hours and any incentive in the offer rather than hide them inside one annual amount.

Recruiter's read

Qualitative view from our desk. Not BLS data.

For Medical Billing Specialist, discuss the work behind these requirements: CPT, ICD-10 and HCPCS familiarity; claim scrubbing, denials and payer portals; practice management or EHR (Epic, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, NextGen); CPB or CPC a plus. Ask what the person completed themselves and what a manager or specialist reviewed. A system name on a resume does not establish depth in that workflow. The BLS figure describes the listed occupation, not a separately measured rate for this exact opening.
