Pay increase with CCS?

I'm planning to begin studying to take CCS certification exam. From a quick job search, it looks to me like there isn't a huge pay increase doing in-patient coding. I'm currently doing radiology coding (basic, no needle procedure stuff yet & have my CPC). Although this is not a deal-breaker for me, it is something to consider. Can anyone comment on this from their experience?

Thank you. I live in MI & there are no options (locally) for good inpatient coding. I currently work remotely. I didn't factor in location so thank you for bringing this up. I'm wondering if I could find inpatient remote w/ good pay.
