Hi guys! Love the forum! It has been extremely informative.
I plan on starting my own medical billing business from home. I have 8 1/2 years of experience doing this, in one form or another, through our local trauma center here in SC. Because of a job freeze that the hospital has had for several years I've managed to learn coding, billing, insurance verification, and quite a few other things because we had to be flexible and do three to five jobs for the salary of one. I've even assigned beds to patients and arranged transfers to other facilities. When they downsized I left to teach high school English ( I have a degree in this) but now I'm looking for more control in my life and career and I want to also draw on my hospital experiences and make this work for me.
My question is about compliance plans. Should this be written in conjunction with an attorney? If so, what kind of an attorney would specialize in this matter? I thank you for your advice.
