Medical Coder, recently got my Pediatric Coding Certification, and my pay increase was $0.50, putting me at $22.80. Not what I was expecting having dual certifications. I got a part-time job coding for another company and starting pay is more than what I make for the company I’ve been at for 5 years (coding for 1.5). Is this normal in a large health system? Full time position is in TX, I work remote.

Sounds normal for working in the same place for 5 years. The new recommendation is to move every 2-3 years if you’re trying to maximize your income.

Thank you so much!! I don’t have any experience yet though.

I agree with those who encourage transferring to another department or securing a role at another company to maximize your salary. Annual increases are seldom at or above $1, in this role at least, so it doesn’t make sense to stay in the same role for several years with minimum increases unless you’re staying to gain hands on experience. Also remember that more certs do NOT equate to more $$ unless you have hands on experience that correlate with each cert.

Oh and I forgot to mention that IP coding typically pays more than OP coding

Then you fit in somewhere on that continuum based on education & experience—that where the negotiation comes in—they will make a case to place you as low as possible on the scale.
