Taryn, I graduated from Allen School Online in September.. Even with a recruiters help and after applying for hundreds of jobs... No luck. So basically I have a piece of paper that sits on my desk and a mountain of debt!

have you found anything(work from home)in the last 3 months? If so can you help me do the same?

What jobs can I apply for if I want to become a Medical Biller and have no Medical Billing experience? Claims processor; collector? What does anyone suggest? Medisoft experience is what employee's are looking for. I have had several interviews but when they ask if I know how to use the Medisoft program I do not know outside of taking it in school. Truthfully, I have forgotton how to use the program since I graduated from school in 2006. I a currently in the medical field.

I have been working from home for the last two years completing AR follow-up for medical professionals. The company I work for lost the contract of the work I have been completing. Does anyone know where I can look for Medical Follow-up jobs?

Anything found? If so, please forward!

Professional Medical Billers Association in Brick, New Jersey said: Hi Peaches,

What position are you currently working as in the medical field? While Medisoft is a very popular program in the field, there are certainly many others! I believe most offices train new employees on the software. If you are having problems getting your first billing job, get your foot in the door any way possible; front desk, medical records, unit scretary (hospital). Let the employer know that your ultimate goal is to do the billing and reinforce the issue that you wish to be cross-trained; this way--you may get the opportunity if the existing biller is out sick, on maternity, on vacation, etc...

Much luck to you!

Hello, I have been in the medical field for over 15 YEARS as a Medical Assistant, Receptionist and Scheduler. I recently transitioned 3 years ago from Medical Assisting to Medical Billing and Coding. I graduated in 2006. I have not been able to get a job in the Billing/collections or Finance Department in the hospital. I have been a payment poster for the last 3 years, verifying insurance, scheduling appt ect. There are just no jobs for unexperienced billers or collectors where I work. I have been looking else where for employment and hoping that I find a clinic or hospital that would be willing to train me on the "billing" aspect of the job. I know the medical and coding side of the job. I just need to be given the chance to show I can do the work. I am willing to take a job at a bank as a medical claims processor, ect. Anything to get "paperwork" experience. I need to work in a job that deals with "finance" "claims" "EOBs" "collections" etc. Do you have any suggestions for outside of the medical relm? Maybe I can get a job outside of the clinic to get the "paperwork" experience and then after I obtain a year's experience, re-apply?

I am a certified medical coder, biller and also a past insurance agent. I am familiar with the insurance end from the selling to the processing claims. I am also knowledgeable about how to file claims and process denied claims with the proper codes. I work with ICD-9, 10 and also CPT and HCPCS. Trying to start business working from home. I have been in the medical/insurance field for 6 years with experience in this area.
Contact at kheart06@yahoo.com if know anything in the Memphis or surrounding area.

I recently lost my job and I am looking for a home business. my backround is medical billing for medical and dental offices. I am looking at a company in California where I have to buy their software and they will provide me with the doctors. the software cost is 199 dollars and they stated they are not a get rich quick place and you do have to do the work to get paid. I am afraid of doing it just because that 199 is like 3 bills that I could be paying. please tell me what you think. and If you have ever heard of the company NETWORK HEALTH???

Hi John,

are you wanting me to invest in your company or are you looking at me contacting your company for a home business???

Michelle,

Thank you for googling it for me. I have been trying to find it everywhere. they gave me a website of netforward.biz but when I type it in the website is down. I just dont know what to do.

Thank you
Tiffany

Michelle,

I did think that it sounded to good to be true. I guess I am in a bind right now and looking for something quick. I really hate to give someone my money and then not get anything in return. I guess I am just going to have to sleep on it again and again until I know for sure what I am going to do. Would you have any suggestions.

Thank you
Tiffany

Tiffany,
To let you know. I have taken the course on Medical Claims and Billing Specialist July 2008 and finished pretty fast. I waited till after the holidays to find a job. Well, to my dismay, I couldn't find a job around my small town. Most places that I have seen on the internet want 2+ years experience. I called the company that I went through and all they gave me was the run around and wouldn't help me find a job. I am still looking for a job. Better check with some of the schools and ask them if they will help you look for a job, etc.
Janet

Janet,
Thank you for the information. I know that medical billing is a hard job to find. I was looking for a long time and landed a position at a dentist office. Unfortunatly that is why I am looking for a job. they let me go cause of down sizing and no I am looking. so I have the experience it is just trying to find another job. But again thank you for the help and I will definitly look into some schools for help.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A MEDICAL BILLING AND CODING SCHOOL:

Job Placement - What is their job placement rate. By law this must be disclosed to you. Always ask for this in writing.

Accreditation - Who are they acrredited with and how easy is it to get this accreditation. Some accrediting bodies allow the schools they represent 6 months to place their students and only require them to maintain a 60% job placement rate.

Coding Certification - Is this a school that teaches billing and a watered down version of coding? Do they help you get your CPC or CCS coding certifications?

Typing Skills - Most companies require that you type 40 plus words a minute. This is something you can work on at home but your training institution should emphasize the importance of this.

Billing Schools - If their curriculum is billing specific, they should tell you this. Many schools (Everest, UEI, Kaplan,) illustrate Coding in their advertisments but dont teach you nearly enough to pass the AAPC or the AHIMA exams.

Externship - An externship is the volunteer portion of your training. The externship is designed to get you hands on field experience. Many externship sites require a contract with the school along with a certain amount of insurance. Does your school have an externship component?

Jobs Search - Just because the lob listing say 1-3 years of experience does not mean they don't hire entry level coders. Some clinics will overlook your lack of job experience if you have obtained a coding certification. Some companies may also see something else in your resume that attracts their attention. 1-6 months of searching for a job is not uncommon. In Calfornia, 50-100 resumes a week should be your goal.

Resume - Must be reviewed by additional sources besides yourself. 30% of the people on this site will not make it to the interview phase simply because of how their resume is worded and formatted. Your school must have a job placement department who will assist you in this.

I am also certified in medical claims and billing thru us career institute out of colorado I done the course at home while I worked my part time job as a public transit driver in my little home town of Gladwin Mi. The Dr. in this town all are affiliated with Mid Michigans physicians group out of Midland Hospital. So I guess my question would be how to get a job doing this out of my home? Please don't say I wasted my money on this career.

Hello juarezj35,
I was wondering when you get your business started, are you going to be looking for help with Medical coding or billing. I am going to Lonestar Kingwood college right now for a Medical Front office Certificate that teaches you the medical coding basics. I want to be able to work from home. What other classes do you think i am going to need to take for being able to do medical coding or billing from home. If you are looking I am a fast learner.

Thank You!

what I did is I started trying to apply with hospitals, as a medical receptionist, and when I get my foot in the door then look for medical biller, but remember the companies always hire within first... so get your foot in the door first. then work your way up... Hey money is money.. and knowledge is power. good luck.

I am thinking of goinig to school for medical claims specialists. Can anyone tell me the pros and cons of this type of work?

I have worked as a medical biller for 3 years and your best bet is to start out billing for a doctor in house. I have been looking for at home billing too and they are very hard to find. But I do know it is impossible to get a at home billing job for a entry position because the companies, so i have been told, want to make sure that you are well experienced before you do at home billing. Hope this helps!

Get your Medical Coding Certifications. This wont guarentee you a job but it will dramatically increase you salary potential and job prospects. You dont need a degree to obtain these certs and many schools are building Bachelor Degree programs around obtaining these certifications (BEWARE).

Do you really think a medical office is going to trust you with their receiveables (BIG MONEY) without recognized training, propper certifications, and job experience? If you cant get a job in the field how are you going to get a job working from home? G

Get a job in the field, establish credibility, gain some valuable experience and try 3 years from now. If you are looking for a quick fix then this is not the profession for you. If you need a volunteer site then let me know.

Mike,

My post was simply a response to those thinking that they can get jobs doing medical billing from their home. We in the industry know that most people have the incorrect assumption that there are opportunities in the marketplace where they can sign up with and be hired as a home based employee by an outside entity to process the entities overflow of medical claims.

I mentioned medical transcription in my post to inform people that unlike medical billing there are legitimate entities that do hire people that work from remote locations to process their workflow.

My intent was not to teach anyone the exact sequence of steps one would take in order to pursue a medical billing or transcription business/career BUT instead drive home the fact that there are no work from home medical billing jobs. My Post Did Exactly That and Did So Truthfully!

Now, as for the last sentence in your post “You can sell your Medical Transcription Education on its own Merit”: I am a biller, coder, transcriber, business owner and mother not a pusher of online products or causes. Notice the link I used is not an affiliate link nor does it redirect to hide the fact that I might be giving advice as a way to get people to visit a webpage where I can profit from.

Sorry! You are correct. Good luck in the future.

I to am looking into this company...havent had much luck finding anything positive that would make me want to send them my money...have u had any further luck finding out anything??

Mz Mica39 in New York said: Hello Mirta, So there is nothing legitmate from home. Some people tend to find these companies and they want to take and hog all business for themselves. So, it is hard for this to not to work for some of us. Who are eager to work. Since, I have a full time job as an MA. A little extra income will be great for me and my family.

Thats not true. 2 hospitals in the mid sized town I work in employee medical coders and transcriptions that are housed as telecommuniters. You just have to network because most of the time the legitimate companies want to keep it quiet so they are not overwhelmed with average workers that want to take advantage of telecommuniting positions.

I have just completed mt two year assocites degree in Medical Insurance,and I am very interested in Accounts Receivable. I would really like to do this from home as it would benefit me at this time being at home. If anyone can help me with this I would appreciate the help. Thanks

JACK DAVIS? Do NOT call 877-748-XXXX for a "work at home" job. He only wants to sell his "required" software for $199. Do NOT send any money!

Mike,

Sir, you are the bomb! One of a few who have posted who know what they're talking about! Thanks!

iam looking for a job as medical biller i graduated from us career institute online cerificate medical claims and billings well i found this website on the internet
Home Employment Association it's located in las vegas Nv it' work at home program you have to pay the membership fee of 44.95 and 59.95 they will delete your account after 3 months now i filed a complain through Federal Trade Commission they refused to refund my money please beware of this website

I thank each and everyone of you for this information. I live in a rural town and through each of your posted I have learned now I can't trust anyone at this time. I went for Medical Transcription, Medical Administration and now to Medical Coding and Billing honestly to work from home. Since this post, it has me make up my mind not to waste time. I don't want to work outside of the home anymore and if possible I am not. I worked as a CNA and Clerical in nursing home and other healthcare companies for 5 years. I am now unemployed after being fired from a Clinic not because I couldn't do the work, but because I was battling some health issues which are better. I have decided to go back to college and go for what I love and not waste my time nor anyone else. I love to write, I have wrote my own book, wrote many novels, plays, and poetry; so I thought why waste my time with medical programs just go for what I love and I can work for the newspaper, news on television, radio, or work from home. So my comment is to thank many of you for helping me make up my mind and do what I love and that's write.

GOOD LUCK! WRITE A BOOK ON MEDICAL BILLING IN THE FUTURE.HOPE TO SEE IT SOON.

Thanks this is a great ideal.
