Hello Everyone,
This is my very first post and I need your help. I have always wanted to start my own medical billing service. I have done billing for Home Health (4 yrs) ( the lst company I woorked for in 2001 used to gross $50,000 per month) and Anesthesia and Pathology Billing ( for hospital based physicians)- I worked for a large medical billing company. While at the medical billing company, I handled the entire billing for 8 different accounts that each grossed over $150,000 per month. I was a great biller. The last time I worked as a biller was in 2005. I would like to get back into the field, because I am a very meticulous and dedicated biller. I did not do any coding work, although I plan on getting my CCS certification i the near future.
So my questions are:
***How can I start the business?? I would like to target EMS, Chiro, Mental Health, DME and Home Health. What book do I need to get the billing procedure codes for these different specialty.
***Has anyone used the Med Billing in a Box or any of the other products??
***What software/clearing house would you recommended?
Any other advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. Have a great day!!!
