My original vision when creating this website was to promote my Medical Billing Coding Business.

But it's quickly become much more than that. I found it was a great way to share all the information we've compiled over the years - from my own experiences and others I've worked for.

It's just morphed into a site about everything related to billing, coding, and the whole reimbursement process.

My hope is the that this website will be helpful to you - whether considering a career, looking for billing or coding info, starting a business, wanting to know what it's like to work from home.

Among a variety of topics, you'll find information and advice on:

• What a Billing Specialist and Medical Coder does. Discover the skills you need and what the typical tasks are.
• Billing and Coding Employment and Salaries. Search for Medical Coding and Billing Jobs
• Starting and operating a Home Business - Is working from home viable?
• Billing and coding Terminology, Information, Guidelines, and Resources.
• Training - What you need to learn in Billing and Coding. What does it cost and how long will it take. Is online an option?
• Writing an effective resume that gets you an interview. Use our sample medical billing resume as a starting point.
• Software - Is the best option web based or PC based? What features are important and what you can expect to pay.
• Related occupations of Medical Transcription, Assistant, and Coder

When I first started working in medical billing I didn’t have a clue. Before having a family I worked several years in the insurance business and loved it. My two boys were now in school and I wanted – no I nEEded - to do something fulfilling and earn income.

But how?

I had no formal education past high school. Just a few of the questions I had -

• What training or education do you need?
• Is there any special knowledge?
• How much can you make?
• How do I get started?
• Can I do this?

I began working from home as a contract employee for a billing service calling insurance companies and checking on unpaid claims.

Is Medical Billing a viable business?

Yes - but I won't kid you. It takes a lot of hard work and perseverance. If you have the drive and determination, it is a viable business.

Even without a formal education, there have been months that my business has generated enough income to rival that of my Engineer Husband – who has 3 College Degrees and a Great Job! I'm not as busy now. In the last year I have scaled back my business to spend more time with my family and maintain this website.

I made my share of mistakes – but the lessons learned were invaluable. Spending several thousand dollars for training and software that really wasn't necessary. What I know now I could probably have done this for much less. I’ll share my experiences to save you the trouble and money.

Even if you don’t want to get into medical billing you’re more than likely here because you desire to work from home and control your own destiny – be your own boss. I’ll tell you about one of the coolest legitimate ideas for home based business I’ve discovered while creating this site here.

So have a look around and use the information on this website to educate yourself on what’s involved with a billing and coding career or business.
