KNOWLEDGE can actually TRUMP experience if you have enough of it
QuoteKNOWLEDGE can actually TRUMP experience if you have enough of itWhen it comes to medical billing....I disagreeFor the life of me, I cannot see the aversion to getting experience....why is the advice to 'get experience' prior to starting your home-based medical billing frowned upon? Tha advice is not to discourage---the advice is to HELP....when someone suggests to 'get experience'.....it is to help assist you when it is time to market.....I just don't get it.............newbies come in to the forum for advice...."What advice can you give me to start out?" "How did you start?" etc etc...............of course, people can choose to do what they want....they can choose to start-up with NO experience....but why NOT get experience?? Why NOT work in a provider's office first to get the hands-on feeling for it-----see even, if you like it or not?? What happens if you have no experience at all---you land your first client and you HATE medical billing?? Then what?? You will be sooo much better off in sooo many ways if you get the experience first!!!

I agree, experience can help out a lot. I am considering looking for a billing clerk position or anything that can help get my feet wet. It reminds me of how now with education and the economy even having a bachelors isn't enough at times to get a "good" job.
So what are you saying, those of us who never did billing can't do it because we didn't have "experience" I think there are many of us who have and will prove that false.
In case you have not noticed, the country is in a bad recession. Getting a "job" (especially one in a new field) is a bit hard.
You've got the same problem I do. Michele says she doesn't want to hear any more ideas. I get way too many!My advice - keep dreaming!
