Thank you ladies. All of your replies are full of encouragement and with sense of comradery. I felt the same way. I let the dr check my clients for ref., kept asking me to come in & i did, tested my software skills, tested my billing skills with real claims, got me to waive setup fee, beat down my rate, put a cap on the total fee, is planning on tripling my workload, and then expects me to smile & say "Yess Saa, Whatever You Say Saa".
I'v had one client since '06 & another since '01. Only two, but niether ever dropped me for a reason. We billers really do help dr live a financially sound lifestyle. And everyone including dr ought to get paid for thier work. Its not an obsurd concept. Its democracy & capitalism. Otherwise we're all slaves in some way.
