Caution to Medical Billing Service professionals pursuing work at home medical billing

CAUTION & Advise to Medical Billing Service Professionals seeking work at home medical billing home based medical billing

Medical Billing does NOT equate to:
Get a Computer, and Learn a Billing Software Tool!

Please do not get distracted by some "too good to be true" statements made by some "virtual product depots", whose only objective is to sell different medical billing software products, and then disappear.The following list contains advise to starting our medical billing professionals, and some actual ploys used by some "virtual product depots" to get your money, while offering you inferior packages, tricking you to believe that their list of doctors is something more than a random online doctor list.

Doctors are relying more upon the ability of their billing staff, whether it is within the practice, or outsourced to a medical billing service. They demand short billing & reimbursement cycles, on a consistent basis.

In order to achieve that, the medical billing professional has to be able to submit simple, as well as multi-tier claims with extremely low rejection yields. Some basic billing knowledge and experience are the basic pre-requisites required to maintain a harmonious and continuous customer relationship.

There are ways to obtain some basic initial medical billing knowledge. Career and trade schools, and /or working in a medical practice, which allows for some hands-on experience in medical billing. That is just the beginning!

Then you have to keep pace with the constant changes imposed by the government and the different insurance carriers.

And more importantly, your out-most dedication to your work and to your customers is the solid foundation in maintaining a successful medical billing service.

REPORTED ISSUES / CONCERNS

VIRTUAL / ANONYMOUS DEPOTS : Although obtaining a low price for your Medisoft Products is very important, another major consideration should be the availability of qualified customer support. There are some virtual product depots that offer low prices, but in most cases, they lack any Medisoft customer support expertise. There are even some virtual web sites that do not even list the actual company's name or mailing address anywhere! Be extra cautious about such a ploy.

Since Medisoft does not support purchases made from third party virtual product depots, you will be left in a precarious situation when you will need product support. Many clients have switched to our services, after they were disatisfied with the lack of support from these virtual product depot sites. Our goal, and our company's continuous success has been based upon offering online specials and expert customer support service. Our staff is certified to handle Medisoft database application questions, plus we offer answers to Medisoft network related questions, Medisoft billing management, Medisoft short-cuts, hands on remote training courses and much much more.
BE VERY CAUTIOUS, WHEN SOMETHING SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!
Our Government takes action against companies that use deceptive practices to steal your hard earned money (News Article):The Federal Trade Commission, the Justice Department, several state attorneys general and securities officials are announcing Monday they have filed complaints against 68 operations they accuse of deceiving consumers about work at home and other business ventures, such as vending machine chains. More than 100 newspapers have agreed to include their own classified ads informing consumers of what to look for in a legitimate business promotion, officials said.
Additionally, more than 85 of the papers have agreed to screen out deceptive ads, such as those that make earnings claims without any disclosure of how much consumers have actually made.
The promoters targeted consumers starting a home based business with short teaser ads that promised the chance to make money in various business plans from work at home to buying vending machines.
Random Doctor Lists: We have received a high number of inquiries from dissapointed medical billing professionals who were led to believe by some "virtual depots" that they will be getting doctor contracts, once they purchase medical billing software from them! The ploy used was a list of doctors on a disk. In every case, the doctors were just part of an online directory, and in most cases, the doctors already had electronic billing in house, or outsourced to a medical billing service. We recommend that you do not place any value on this list of doctors, since it is just a random list; there are many free doctor listings on the internet, like insurance carrier web sites or specific directories like this free internet doctor directory: Doctor Directory.com.
We offer our customers actual leads from doctors, who have contacted us, and are looking to outsource their billing. We are not a billing service, thus we do not compete with our medical billing service clients. We make no promises or guarantees, but we feel that these leads are relevant, since the doctor or medical practice manager has actually initiated the search for a medical billing service.
Virtual Depots offer inferior packages: The following caution is a result of recent concerns expressed by some of our customers who have switched to our services:
Always ask to obtain details in writing regarding which medical billing products are being offered to you. There have been cases where prospective medical billing professionals thought they were getting the advanced patient accounting, but got the original version instead. And in one case, their package includes a demo version! In many other cases there were complaints of lack of general medical billing software support or lack of qualified technical support services.
Please call us at (888) 987-9335 if you are concerned about a deal that sounds too good to be true! or email us at Medical Billing Support
