Starting a Medical Billing Business > Starting Your Own Medical Billing Business
Employees working at home
medco:
Hello,
I have a question about starting my own medical billing business at home. I worked for a doctor for the past 8 yrs. Is it possible to do billing from home by logging into the doctor's own computer? Or do I have to buy software? I have no idea. Please help.

It depends on how you will be structured, are you an employee of this doctor? If so they are responsible for all costs, software, computer, etc.. That's why it's not cost efficient for a provider to hire someone as an employee to work from home, their costs are more and liability is more.
There are several structures: employee, sub-contractor, business who buys what depends on that.

Yes it is possible, but I do agree with Linda. It is not what it seems. I have worked from home and signed to the server at work, but when you need to make calls, do you want patients to know your home # (caller id) and its just not what its cracked up to be.

When I worked at the doctors office my bosses wife would go into the computer and do some work from home. Do all doctors computers have the ability to do billing? I am starting a new business. I was told I could just log into their computer and do the work. Could you tell me what would be my best avenue to travel down. Thanks

you have to get the IP address from the server. input it into your computer and sign on. that is how I did it. if you are firm about doing this, I suggest that you get a new computer for just the office work.
