No, we hope you will have enrolled enough doctors or hospitals in a relatively short amount of time that you will be hiring medical claims processors to handle the accounts you have. You should then hire them as employees or independent contractors of your own.
Medical billers provide a welcome outsource option. Unfortunately, although many use their computers to streamline the process, most are still using software on their own computers. This might seem like a small difference, but in fact, software-based solutions can create some major problems for you and your clients.

The Independent Contractor is an individual or company you provides services to another individual or company. That is, they are 'self-employed' and are responsible for withholding and paying their own taxes, insurance, etc. A Schedule C is filed with the Internal Revenue Service showing Income and Expenses associated with this particular endeavor. Many tax deductions are available to an Independent Contractor which are not available to an Employee.

Yes, to a degree. This is most certainly a 'home based business' opportunity. There are sometimes when you may want to make personal contacts with your customers. In order to process claims you will need to have a computer with a high speed Internet connection. We recommend a cable modem as opposed to DSL as the connection speeds are more consistent. You should also have a fax machine to receive documents from your customers.
Yes.
A. The best case scenario, primarily if the office is local, is to pick up the information in person once or twice a week. If the volume is high, you may even want to pick up the information on a daily basis. This is to facilitate good relations between you and the office staff and keep abreast of needs as they develop.
Of course if you are unable to make personal appearances due to logistical reasons, a courier service will work. Also, you can have the doctor’s office fed-ex the information to you at your expense(recover this expense in the price of your services). Other options are also available:
Via Fax: dayslips and superbills can be faxed to you from the doctor’s office on a daily business for processing to be done within 24 hours. However, if you choose to do it this way and you work a full time job, be aware that when you get home you could have a piled up mess on the floor to sort through!
Via Mail: the provider can mail information as often as
necessary.
You might want to provide pre-stamped, pre-addressed priority mail envelopes.
Absolutely not. You don’t need to be a medical coding specialist in order to
file claims electronically.
There are over 1,500 independent contractors, from every walk of life, most of
whom had no previous medical training or background. The online system itself
takes care of all the proper coding. You simply input the data provided on the
patients’ information sheets filled out at the doctor’s office and the “superbills”
the doctor fills out when seeing patients.
Our complete Self-Paced Home Study Course and an optional Live Training class
will teach you everything you need to know to start filing electronic claims for
medical providers.
Some contractors, once they got their first few clients, decided to get further
training, but this was just something they did to further their education in
this exciting field. It’s not needed in order to make money doing medical
billing.
