The salaries of medical record technicians are greatly influenced by the location, size, and type of employing institution, as well as the technician's training and experience. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the median annual earnings of medical records specialists were $48,780 in May 2023. Salaries ranged from less than $35,080 to more than $77,810.
In general, medical record technicians who work in large urban hospitals make the most money, and those in rural areas make the least. Like most hospital employees, medical record technicians usually receive paid vacations and holidays, life and health insurance, and retirement benefits.
