Starting a Medical Billing Company while working full time

Hello All!!

I'm a biller from NJ, with over 10 years experience, and starting a billing company has always been a dream of mine. My question is, is it possible to do while working a full time job?

kristin:
It is possible, yes. But any clients you get would have to be understanding of the fact that you would not be available to them during your full time work hours. Some may have no problem with that, others might.

Fellow Jersey Girl :) I'm now in NY. I worked full time as a claims examiner and started my business. After i got 2 clients it was very difficult since many tasks had to be completed in the 9-5 time and also when you are starting out you need to consider most practices need their billing person available to them and patients. Not saying it can't be done but it is hard. Just FYI, and you might know this, but NJ requires registration of all third party medical billing companies in or working in NJ. The registration process is tedious but required.

Thank you for asking this quesiton. I am also considering starting a small business but keeping my full time position for my benefits and retirement. When following up on claims I know a lot of claim following up can be done electronically and some are open late correct?

Yes some things can be done online but I find MOST is phone work. I've not seen carriers have their lines open late unless they use offshore call centers which I will not utilize if humanly possible.  I worked full time and started my business way back but it's not a long term sustainable plan.. I only did it for about 6 months, once I had two clients (small) I couldn't do the full time work anymore.
