So glad to hear that!! Thanks for watching and wishing you much success.❤

Awww you made my night!! I need the motivation as well and I appreciate you : )

Thanks so much, Tamara! There is no specified amount of time required to work onsite before you can start working remotely. What may take you only 6 months to master may take someone else years. Everyone's learning curve is different so I always say as long as you have experience, you are serious and committed to the work (which is a major responsibility), and the provider is giving you the opportunity, go for it!

Thank you so much for your kind words and for your support! You can ABSOLUTELY start your own business from home. You already have the experience and now all you need to do is network and find another practice. Maybe the doctors at your current practice can refer you to others! The beauty is you can take on as many or as few practices you would like. Grow the business to whatever you want it to be. Wishing you much success. Please keep me posted : )

Can i contact you I am trying to start my Owen business???

Thanks so much, Debbie. Yes we have to walk before we crawl. Start small, think BIG!

Hi I am from India and wanted to start my own medical billing if you can assist me.

Oh you're very welcome!!! Thanks for watching : )

Hi Zenamarie. So sorry to hear about you losing your job. Learning medical billing and/or coding is a great way to pivot. And you never know, maybe you can do billing/coding for both medical and dental providers! Best of luck to you : )

@@AskTheBiller Thank you Quiana! That's definitely something I've thought about along with lots of studying and business changes occurring!

Hi Ma'am really like your all videos but please give us the way to find a client to start our business as we are from India so we don't have resources to approach the provider. Please help us.

You're welcome!!

Thank you.❤️ That’s a great niche! I’m sure lots of practices could benefit from working with you to focus solely on reducing their A/R.

Thank you for the feed back

Thank you, Bethzaida.☺ You can email me at askthebiller@gmail.com.

Hi Jessica. Thanks so much for watching. I am so glad you found the info I shared to be helpful. You should absolutely go for it!!! Please follow me on Instagram @askthebiller. I have a 10 step checklist on how to start a medical billing business. Email or DM me on IG and I will forward the post to you : )

@@AskTheBiller thank you! I just sent you a DM on IG :)

Thank you!!

Hi Starlene. I have a friend who is working on a marketing class to help with getting clients. I'll keep you all posted : )

@@AskTheBiller Thank you so much!

Best of luck to you : )

Good Morning. Yes, I do recommend having experience prior to starting a billing business. You want to make sure you understand the entire revenue cycle and are staying up to date with industry changes prior to taking on this role. Managing the revenue for providers and practices is a major responsibility so learn the ins and outs first. But you can absolutely find contract work while you are in nursing school. Part time, full time, A/R projects, etc are always available. Best of luck to you!

thank you : )

You're welcome, Janet! Thanks for watching. Here is the link to my billing and software training course askthebiller.myshopify.com/products/1621013

@@AskTheBiller thank you. i will be checking it out cant wait to start this opportunity,

Hi Nita. Good luck with your CBCS exam! I do not recommend any one software in particular. I don't purchase software. I use whichever software the provider has. They are cloud based and I'm assigned a username and password to login via the internet. This keeps my expenses low.

Hi Nita how did your exam go? Did you go through the NHA for your studies? I am a CBCS certified through them.

Please check out my video "15 Ways to Market Your Medical Billing Business". There are many ways to find providers but ultimately the name of the game is networking! You have to put yourself out there and let people know about the services that you offer.

I actually got my CBCS in 2009 and unless it has changed it is a very basic certification. It is not comparable to the AAPC CPB or CPC. But also keep in mind, medical billing certification is optional, not required. You can start a business without being certified. Thanks for watching!

Marlena, medical billing can provide plenty of freedom and flexibility with the right remote position/contract. Best of luck to you!

Hi, good morning this is Khatijah I'm interested to do this business

Absolutely!! eFax is the way to go.

Good Morning. Absolutely! Try contacting local billing companies who may be willing to train you. The pay may initially be low but your objective is to gain experience and then become self employed! Best of luck : )

Thanks so much! Yes!!! I talked about this in Medical Biller University™ last week Thursday! We had a class on how to start a virtual medical billing business and this was my first suggestion. You can start out as an independent contractor/freelance biller to make sure a billing business is truly what you want to pursue. Best of luck to you!

You will need experience before getting your own provider clients. Managing the revenue cycle is a major responsibility. You will be responsible for their cash flow. You are going to have to prove you are qualified for the role. You need experience first so 1) you actually know what you are doing and 2) you have referrals! On occasion they may be willing to train but that is far and few between for REMOTE positions.

You can search for entry level opportunities on employment websites such as Indeed, ZipRecruiter, Monster, Simply Hired. Even LinkedIn. Even register with healthcare staffing agencies who will assist you find employment at no charge to you. Consider investing in my hands on medical billing and software training course. Having a strong foundation of knowledge will make you eligible for opportunities! You can review the details on my website www.JustAskTheBiller.com. Thanks for watching!

Medical billing is definitely an option!! Follow me on Instagram @askthebiller to learn more : )

Hi Sharonda. Your fees are going to vary depending on several different factors including: scope of work, number of providers, volume of claims, specialty, geographic location, etc.

Hi Bonnie. Thanks for watching! You can certainly start on the side and keep your 9-5. Look for remote opportunities on employment websites such as Indeed & Zip Recruiter. The ad may specify "contract/commission" and you can work independently, not as an employee. And start to create your own opportunities. Get out there and network!!! Let people and providers know about the services you offer. Start with your personal providers! Also join billing Facebook groups where you can connect with providers and billing business owners who may need some part time assistance. I'm an AAPC approved instructor so if you want to learn more about their CPB credential check out this link www.justaskthebiller.com/biller-boss-bootcamp-registration and email me at askthebiller@gmail.com with any questions. Take care!

Is there any other materials I need to get like 1500 claim forms licensing and Etc

Hi Olivia. Billers and coders play two different roles. So you can be a biller or a coder or both! The majority are either or. I'm a biller. I don't do coding. Providers will always need a biller to manage the billing. Coders are responsible for reading medical records and assigning the appropriate codes. Billers take the codes and create and submit claims to the insurance companies so the provider can get reimbursed for the services rendered. They also make sure patients pay their responsibility.

Good Morning Mohammed. My name is Quiana! Please email askthebiller@Gmail.com for current pricing. Thank you.

Hi Vaishnavi. I do not have any job offers at this time. Thank you for watching!

Hi I’m also from India looking for a client to start a medical billing company!!

Hi I'm also from India and my connections is in America also because my relatives is there ... Can u get help for this

Hi Gloria. There is no specified time frame as to when someone is ready to start their business. It's all about their experience and competency. What may take you 6 months to master may take someone else 2 years. So gain the experience and learn the entire revenue cycle. Then you are ready to start securing your own clients!

NO MA'AM! Not necessary!!! If you have experience you can start as an independent contractor for $0. Or form a business (LLC) for a few hundred dollars. Do your research before investing TENS of THOUSANDS of dollars with anyone. Best of luck to you : )

Every provider is not looking to go with the cheapest company. Those rates are what companies overseas are charging and the majority of providers are not outsourcing overseas. You get what you pay for! You can do extremely well with just one account. Your focus should not be on the competition. Focus on providing the best possible customer service and improving your skillset with continuing education. There is plenty of room for us ALL to win, from the largest company to a beginning solo freelancer.

Hi Christina. I’ll be taking the CPC exam very soon but I don’t want to be coder.

I’m not scheduling any 1:1’s at this time. However, I have a free Q&A scheduled for Tuesday 9/5 at 7pm EST. Here’s the zoom registration link us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0ofuqopz4uGdAzgnoajC9DXfg27ediQp9H#/registration

You shouldn't have to "convince" anyone. Interview really well and let your education, experience and referrals do the talking!

@@AskTheBiller Great answer, and I have also emailed you with name Hamza Naveed, please respond 🙂

Hi Mia. I’m not a coder. I’m a biller! They are different roles. Thanks for watching.😊

Understood! Thank you

Hi Monique. That depends on your goals. If you want to be a coder, obtain the CPC. If you want to be a biller, obtain the CPB. And if you want to do both, obtain both credentials. I’m not a coder, however, I did obtain the CPC for educational purposes. You can never have too much education! Coding is a different skillet and not a requirement for billers. Billers have to be knowledgeable when it comes to the different code sets and understand modifier usage. We’re not reading documentation and assigning the appropriate codes the way a coder or provider would. Hope this helps!😊

@@AskTheBiller thank you so much.I'm an insurance broker, and just wanted to add a line of business to my agency. I would like to do billing for dr offices and dont mind studying the material to become knowledgeable, but dont know if a license is required.

@@moniquewilliams3567 no license is required, just education & training.

@@AskTheBiller thank you so much!

Good Morning Courtney. I do not pay for marketing or advertising. I simply go to where providers are looking for billers. On employment websites! It's free, easy and effective. I have had plenty of success that way. There are many remote opportunities there. Check out Indeed.com, Monster.com, ZipRecruiter.com, etc. Also, you want to NETWORK!! Let people know what services you offer. Even your own providers. If they don't need your services they may have a friend or colleague that does. You never know! Best of luck : )

Get started with learning medical billing or with starting your business?

Who are people?! You should have the education and training to confidently take on new clients and manage their revenue cycle. I cannot put a specific time period on that. Only you can determine when you are ready to start your business.

@@AskTheBiller just folks that are starting out like me e. I am not ready though. I will wait a year and get my experience. Thanks for your help!

@@nitanecolehaynes7017 You're welcome! Everyone's time frame will be different. What's most important, like you said, is gaining that experience.

You can learn from anywhere!

Thank you!!!!

No, certification is optional. It’s formal education.

There is nothing misleading about this video. And you’re wrong! I was never a revenue cycle manager. As I stated, I was the office manager where we outsourced the billing. I had zero billing experience when I was given my first opportunity. Sounds too good to be true, right? Well it is! And FYI… I’m a licensed AAPC approved billing instructor that assists plenty of students get certified as well. No gimmicks needed.🤷🏾‍♀️
