To make money. :-))
Well I want to learn first how to do billing(ready for volunteer service) and then after 1-2 yrs down the line I want to hire people and want them to do.
Thankx for your help and advice.

So you want to move from IT to billing???
You may want to check out the average pay for medical billers in your area. Not to discourage you, but we have forums filled with medical billers with years of experience, and starting on your own isn't easy. I have emails daily with people asking me how to start in this business. I have those that start and then feel its just too much of a risk. Dr.s make good money, but I hate to see blood, so I just bill the charges :-)

Be aware that in many states a company/practice can not hire you to work for free unless you are part of a college Internship/externship program. It's illegal. Also, while I can appreciate the need and goals to own a business with employees who do the work and rake in the money..(don't we all want that) it's not practical for a long time with a long standing client base. I just don't like to see people get into this business with the wrong impression. Like Michele mentioned.. those of us with even over 20 + years are still learning, for example there were quite a few BIG time changes to the industry in the past 6 months (HITECH, Parity, Red Flag, .....etc...) I'm still learning and I'll always be learning.
