Hello I have a few questions about marketing . I work part time outside the field of medical billing so that I can fund my business so when I talk to provider's that ask about preferences but I don't have any because the companies that I worked for in the past everyone has moved on .I will be starting to market in the next month but I'm unsure how to get someone to believe in me and my work I plan on having maybe a 30 day trial but other then that How do I get someone to give me a chance ? How did you sign you first provider . any Idea's ?

Merry:
I don't believe in free trials. Just my opinion of course. You will need to set up an entire database for this provider..and by the time you do that, you will then need to enter the claims information. It certainly takes more than a month to show someone that you can do this. Yes, there are providers that may sign up but that is a ton of work for you and I think your time is worth more than giving it away for nothing.
Assuming that you have all your proper documents in place; contract, policies and procedures, business associate agreement etc. Be sure to get this done before you start to market.

Alice Scott:
Free trials are a lot of work and can cost you some money too.  Does your practice management software charge per client?  Does your clearinghouse charge per claim?  Will you be mailing any claims?  The other problem is that in a month's time very few payments will have started coming in so if the provider is judging you on the outcome they likely will not hire you.  It can take several months to get an account running smoothly.  There may be hold ups with the electronic submissions or any other issue that may come up.  There are much better ways to get clients than free trials.

Where do you go to set up the contract and business associate agreement ,policies and procedures . I'm trying to get these done in the next month so that I can start marketing but everything that I have researched have not gave me any ideas ?

I am not sure where you have done your research, but there are numerous books, websites, etc. that you can get/use for what you need(Google what you need), there are quite a few threads at this very site that address your questions, (as well as items you can purchase I believe), and you can always hire a healthcare attorney to get you set.
