what will be the idea clientele for newbies?
Ok, i never done any medical billing before beside what i've learned from school and read anything i could find on it.i have a diploma as a Medical assistant and also im on my third semester for an Associate degree in Healthcare Mgntback in Canada i went to school to become a nurse than realized that it wasn't for me, now that i know what i want im really into iti know that it won't be easy to start because of no experience but not impossible. It's not possible for me to go out and get a job as a medical biller right now and beside i always wanted to be my own bossim married with 3 kids,even know that my husband got a good job working for the rail road, it's just too much to pay for decare for all of my kids.So any advice you can give me will be welcome, don't try to discourage me from doing that and don't need any negative comments or try to put me down because of no experience.
I do mental health and is trying to get out to some other specialties. I find that's it's a bit 'too much sugar for a dime'. Many providers don't get auths or do benefits verifications which means you can bill but don't get paid Unlike normal insurance, you can just bill from the insurance card, with mental health, you have to take the extra steps to verify billing addresses.Also, they're also bad at collecting copays because it's a sensitive situation to collect money if the patients come to you in mental distress. What that boils down to is you spending more money sending out statements and maybe not getting paid.Chiropractors are great if it's high volume and not so many cash patients since they like to keep cash collections for themselves
Well Marie, I don't know how to respond but be honest. Most providers will ask you for experience
Quotewhat will be the idea clientele for newbies? Hi Marie, I'm going to assume you are up and ready to market If so I like mental health providers for a few good reasons. 1) many of them are small and even work by themselves so they are easily accessible. 2.) their offices are very rarely busy, as they do not keep more than one maybe 2 patient's in the waiting room, so they are even easily accessible on walk-in's sometimes. 3) because of their profession they are usually very easy going and much less intimidating than other specialties. 4) They usually only deal with a handful of codes. Some of your small individual therapists or psychologists even work from within offices apart from their home too. I have also heard chiropractors are pretty easy market and dentists too. A lot of people skip over dental providers but they can be very lucrative. I'm sure there are others but these are the ones that stick out in my mind for now.
