I am also interested in starting my own Billing Business. I have experience as an Medicare Insurance Biller. I have also have a college certifications in Medical Biller Receptionist. I have have an General Associates that is centered around Billing. I am now in my final year as a Medical Facility Business Manager. I have taken several coding classes also and business classes. I just want to find a doctor and bill for him. I have a network of Teachers and also people who are in the business as Billers and Coders. I was just wondering what software should I be purchasing first? Or should I look for the client first. This is not a hobby for me. This will be my final career. I just want to do it at home or go to the business and bill.
One thing you should look for in a web based software is costs. Not that you should automatically go with the cheapest, but we just spoke with someone today who was surprised that her monthly bill for her webbased was $3000. When you are charged by provider, and per claim, and set ups etc, it adds up quickly. Also, you need to look at functionality. There are a few free web based softwares but the functionality is not good. Charlene is right, if you don't get software before your client you will be scrambling. Many web based softwares come with clearinghouse connections and you can easily connect thru them.MicheleWow 3grand...thats an employee salary. The DME company that I work for is looking at a web based software program and the cost for the premium package about 2400 a month. It's ridiculous how much they charge you.
