The American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) in their 2010 wage survey found that certified phlebotomists made on average $14.06 a hour in a laboratory staff position and $12.66 if not certified (https://www.ascp.org). If they were in a supervisor or manager position in a laboratory staff, then the average salary for a certified phlebotomist was $20.38 a hour and $19.02 a hour for those not certified.

Salary.com reported that the median salary for phlebotomists was $29,407 in March 2011. Other compensation in the form of pension, time off, healthcare, disability, 401k and social security are often available.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) did not have salary information available on phlebotomist as of March 2011. However, the occupation was included in their salary report for medical and clinical laboratory technicians. In May 2009, medical and clinical laboratory technicians had a mean hourly wage of $18.20 and a mean annual wage of $37,860 (https://www.bls.gov). Medical and clinical laboratory technicians who were in the top 10% of earning potential earned $26.55 or more a hour and $55,210 or more a year.

See the answer I just put on. That's how you need to do it so the coding doesn't show up.

More places are requiring for the Phlebotomist to be certified because of all the mistakes being made. I think one of these days sooner than later, all phlebotomist will have to be certified.
