so i think i got my first client for a super low reimbursement (in my eyes), but i will specify it in the contract that we will be signing, that we shall re-visit the compensation in few weeks. still exciting, as she is my very first client that i even talked to. she is concerned about old accounts as her old biller didnt bill like half of them.. i think i got her excited about office ally, as she had no clue about online softwares and she uses mental something something and from what she showed me (she is not really a computer pro), it was not too user friendly.. she wants me to check if office ally is safe for mental health, because she thinks mental health cannot be billed through online software... it is ok to use office ally for psychiatrist right? so once i ensure her it is, i need to start with data conversion.. thanks to this forum i have a plan for that too! thank you guys for keeping this forum alive, i dont even think i will need to go anywhere else in the next few weeks while setting this new account up
thank you! i signed the contract with her yesterday. i wrote my 5 pages long contract on my own and i am very proud of it, it covers everything i need it to cover. later on i will definitely get an attorney to review it though. this client is only for cash recovery for the last 4 months, because i was just a few days late and she already signed a contract with someone else for the current billing. i am still grateful tho, because this way at least i see if i can even do it when working on the past claims, instead of jump right into it and have her rely on me to keep the flow of the money coming without delays. this way i can also take my time to do a little research and figure it all out. i tell you guys, i was getting my marketing plan ready, thinking of lunches, cold calls, advertising.. i got on craigslist last friday and sent out 5 emails responding to ads from local people looking for billers. got 2 responses, first, chiro, wouldnt do it because i had no previous experience with his specialty - but we still emailed back and forth about this like 3 times. the second, my psych, resulted in my first client:) i know im lucky but want to let you all know, that responding to ads is also a way.. thank you all for your support!!
