Medical Billing: What to look out for

The market is filled with scams. There are advertisements, infomercials, websites, and courses all promising you the ability to not only find work, but make a ton of money in the process. These scams do one thing: they don't provide you with any value. There is no useful information enabling you to build you knowledge of the medical billing industry and how to be successful in it. My driving goal behind this blog is to teach what these scams look like and guide you to reputable medical billing and coding training courses, placement agents, software, and guides to being successful in the industry.

There are certain requirements you need in order to work in this field: special medical billing software, a personal computer, and substantial knowledge of medical billing and coding. The major investment in medical bill review is the billing software. If you decide to work for yourself, you will need this software in order to process medical claims for your clients. This software can be anywhere from $2,000 plus. As you take classes, you will learn what software is great (CompIQ is probably the best right now) to use for your work.
