Does anyone know anything about ABsystems? They are a web based system instead of software . The site sounds good but can't find anyone who has purchased the franchise.

I would contact their testimonials and ask them questions like: do you make any money? Also check the ABSystems BBB report.. and if you decide to buy, have an attorney help you with a contract ( refund policy if not satisfied) if the program charges a lot money!

Hi granikat,

Be careful with ABSystems.  I understand that they changed their name in 2008 from American Billing Systems to American Business Systems.  Odd!  Here is an article that might be of interest to you http://dihasstories.wordpress.com/2007/11/16/american-billing-systems/ (http://dihasstories.wordpress.com/2007/11/16/american-billing-systems/).

I wish you success in finding the software for your billing practice.

Thanks for the interesting information.  Unfortunately not all companies are on the up and up so we always have to be on the watch.  It sounds like people have had both good and bad experiences with ABSystems.

When we first began our medical billing career we had researched some of those 'business opportunities' and actually had bought into one.  It turned out to be a scam and after two days of "training" which was a joke we knew it wasn't what it was presented as. 

After about a week of push offs, we started demanding our money back.  To make a long story short, we were able to get a full refund, just before the FTC came in and shut them down.

I'm not saying that all of the companies out there offering business opportunities in medical billing are scams.  I'm just saying to be careful.  There are some that truly provide a good package including training.

The old saying is true though, if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is.

Good luck to all.
Michele
