We get a lot of training questions through the site:
The Internet is flush with exaggerated and hyped up promotions to make big money starting a billing business. There’s lots of websites selling “business opportunities” with glowing testimonials and promises of all the money you can make starting a billing business.
They imply generous incomes and top it off with “No Experience Necessary” claims. All you have to do is invest in their overpriced training, software, and reference materials. But they frequently leave some of the most important facts you need to decide if it’s really right for you.
I’ll share my experiences starting and operating a home based billing business to help you determine if its the right choice for you:

This profession has gotten a lot of attention - much of it bad - as one of the easy work from home business ideas that allow you to earn extra income from home. Many websites present it as one of those "Work From Home Stuffing Envelope" type jobs and imply generous pay.
It really does a disservice to the legitimate insurance billing specialist and our profession. We present the pros and cons of home medical billing jobs, how it’s possible, and what it takes.
It is a legitimate work from home opportunity, but not like a lot of these help wanted ads lead so many to believe. We explain whats involved with home medical billing jobs and how feasible it is.
I’ve spent several years now operating a home based physician billing service - it is a legitimate work from home opportunity. I’ve attempted to share everything I've learned on this site for those considering work from home business ideas such as starting a medical coding or billing business from home.

My Story
When I first began working in billing I didn't have a clue where to start. Before having a family I worked several years in the insurance business and really enjoyed it. My two boys were now in school and I wanted to do something I enjoyed and earn an income.
I had a lot of questions like -
My name is Gina. I’m a work at home mom who applied what I learned working 15 years in the insurance business to starting and operating a billing business.
I began working from home part time for a billing service calling insurance companies and following up on unpaid claims. A few years later I had several clients and more than a full time job! We get asked a lot - "Is Medical Billing a viable work from home business idea?"
It can be - but I won't kid you. It takes a lot of hard work and perseverance. Just liked any other business, if you have the determination and are willing to put in the effort it is a viable business.
I made my share of mistakes – but the lessons I learned were invaluable. Spending several thousand dollars for training and medical billing 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 hopefully save you the grief and money.
Which lead to this website. When getting started I noticed there was real lack of credible information on the web to help someone like me get answers. Seems like they were all trying to sell something.
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.

The provider that I bill for just advised that he has a new tax ID. What is the process for this change? Would every insurance company need to be contacted?
