Starting a Medical Billing Business > Starting Your Own Medical Billing Business

Starting my own Medical Billing business... Hospital Billing experience only.

(1/4) > >>

sheilahaney:
Hello, I am currently considering starting my own medical billing business. I am worried that I will not be able to gain the confidence of a Physician because I only have hospital billing experience. I have worked in a large hospital in California for 7 years, I am very knowledgeable in all insurance carriers, how to bill out clean claims and collect on them if needed. I am also a certified CPC-P and a member of the AAPC. I also am currently in college for Health Information Management (just a little something about myself).  Although I have never billed for a physician I have educational knowledge and understanding that I believe would be useful if only I could get a physician to trust my work.
Does anyone have any advice as to how I can get a physician to trust me and give me a chance? This is the part of starting my own business that worries me most.  :o

Congratulations on getting to this first step.
Most important thing is to believe in yourself!! Remember, that is what you will be selling..YOU!!

Have you ever billed Part B Medicare claims while working at the hospital? If so, then actually doing the work will be no issue.

I too am in CA. Where are you if you would like to share.

Merry:
One more thing..The fact that you are a certified coder will be such an asset today. I would suggest that you educate yourself in ICD-10 if you haven't already and market the heck out of that knowledge. You will have a leg up just because of that.

Thank you so much Merry I needed that.... I just moved from Long Beach CA to Fontana CA.... I have never billed Medicare part B and I only have knowledge of it via education. Do you recommend any classes or websites that can give me more information about billing Medicare part B?

Thanks again Merry

Humble i am not.
Take a look at our (by that I mean the course that Michele, Alice (owners of this forum) and I wrote.
Individual courses are only $129. We give you total support..even weekends and evening if necessary. I would look at the Medicare course as they set the standards for most insurance. And we have a wonderful marketing bundle. All courses are available separately or in bundles where you can save money.
