Is outsource medical billing more acceptable in some states then others?

In my opinion, the people (many times family members) who make those statements are people who are too afraid to reach for their own dreams, or too closed minded to think outside of their (very small) box.  I don't mean to be rude or put anyone down.  I have an aunt who doesn't believe that self employed people have 'real jobs'.  Well, all of us self employed people know that we usually end up working twice as hard as if we had a 'real job'.  There are a lot of perks, but it's also hard work.  Don't let anyone else steal your dream.  There are thousands of billing services out there that prove all of those statements wrong.   :D

PS.  My aunt's husband was self employed for the first 20 yrs of their marriage.  Now he's got a real job working for the town he lives in.  Now he has to work most weekends, holidays, and midnight shifts.  I wonder if she's happier??

Being "self-employed" is a very hard job and it is real........you work a lot more hours and until your business grows,  for a lot less money than you would make working for someone else.......but the reward of success is a great one and the flexibility is also a plus.

In my opinion it doesn't matter if your billing service is run from your home or an office, what matters is can you do the job and do it well, and if you can then your happy clients become great references for future clients. 

I run a billing service from an office, we have been in business over 15 years now and we don't advertise, all of our new clients come from "word of mouth" and we have done very well.

Right on!!!! I believe Charlene once said you could do it from your laptop in a port-a-potty and still do a great job!  At all things, do your best, the rewards will come!

I have to agree with the others. I've billed multiple states and marketed to multiple states. I too was in PA and I really cannot say one state is more prevalent to hire outsourced companies over another. I can say one thing. I hardly EVER hear of physicians hiring home workers as employee's to work from home, this costs them too much money, not to mention the liability is much greater. An outsourced company needs to be structured as such to reduce costs to the practice(s) that contract with them.

I'll tell you what I do think however about one thing.. those marketing and referring to their businesses as practice management experts, reimbursement specialists, etc will get MORE credibility than using the term "Medical billing company, medical billers"  JMHO
