OMG,

I am so excited and nervous at the same time. I have an appointment to meet with a doctor on Friday morning. I am not sure what I should bring with me. This doctor is new, he is a physical therapy doc, started about 4 months ago. He has a billing service however, they have not been able to collect a penny for him. I am unsure as to all of the circumstances. Understandably, he is very frustrated. I want to be able to sell myself. I have been doing this for 17 yrs, however not with my own business. I know I need to sell myself, and am very confident of the job I perform, just not sure how to go about it and with what visual aid.

Any pointers would be appreciated. I did tell him it would be a couple of weeks  before I could submit electronically, and that I am unsure of as well. I should have my software by Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.

Sorry this is so long, but my head is spinning. Thanks in advance for your advice.

Just an FYI for anyone getting ready to go on their first consultation with a doc....

It went great! I was a bundle of nerves before I got there, but then they just disappeared. I am glad it is over.  :)

So, as long as you let your knowledge overcome your fear you will do just fine.

By the way, I took a business card, brochure and a copy of my service contract.

Hi Patricia,

Congratulations!! Sounds like you did great.
Sorry I didn't read your post before you went on your appointment.  It was a busy week here and I just got a chance to check up on the posts.  The most important thing in your interview is to act confident and it sounds like you aced that. 
Good luck in getting the account.

Alice   :)

Congrats Patti!  Would you be willing to share what you have in your service contract?  I am in the process of writing mine.  I have a billing service that I do part time in addition to my full time billing job. 
Thanks!
Stephanie
