You can look through any work from home magazine or any search engine and you'll see that there are programs to teach Medical Billing all over the place. They like to tell you that small doctor's offices don't have the manpower to process all of the insurance claims, and they will pay you $5 to $10 a claim to process them.

This may have been true in some cases, and at one time. But how many small doctor's offices do you think they are? Also, if they are too small to have the staff then how many claims do you think there are to be processed? When these offices grow do you think they'll continue to pay you for Medical Billing? What is surprising is that people think that any doctor's office will just let them handle their patients medical records. With data theft prevalent these days, this is just wrong! All doctors offices are going to want references from at least one doctor, and to insure privacy, you must be bonded as well. Medical Billing records are strictly policed, and offices make sure that they are in the right hands.

In addition, more and more doctors are starting to process their claims electronically. So they won't need independent Medical Billing services anymore, and that's if you actually managed to work for them in the first place, and the associated costs.
