I know a lot of billing companies who are trying it, I can't really say it's working.. mostly facebook is a networking tool so most of your network will be competitors unless you join a lot of the doctor groups. IF you do it the BEST piece of advice I can recommend is to MAKE sure your facebook is completely 100% BUSINESS, in fact it should not connect you to your personal facebook at all.   Nothing is more irritating than getting game requests from billing companies or watching someone rant about their boyfriend or bad date.. NOT good at all.     If you want my opinion, use LinkedIn for that as your primary business network.

Just my opinion here, but Facebook is pretty overrated. In fact using social media as a means to advertise a business, is on the wrong track, since that's not what it was designed for.

Actually social media is a great way to bring in business. It has worked for me so far.  4 clients from social media  ;) it works for some and others it doesn't.  You have to learn how to make it work for your company.  I think that when you market you can't be concerned about what another company is doing. Do what you think will work best for your company.

Social Media will bring you networking and networking brings you clients. I don't believe medical billing companies with facebook pages are actually getting clients from doctors who look for them on Facebook. Networking creates the buzz which leads to contacts which leads to ideas. I just don't see doctors on facebook looking for billing companies.  LinkedIN .. YES :)
