Business Opportunities
Using MediSoft in a Medical Billing Service

Many people want to start and run their own company.
Being in control of your own success can be an exciting and rewarding
experience. Some find that a medical billing service is the right
type of business for them, and there are many successful billing services.
MMSVA offers software for doctors' offices and billing services that
may be used to print paper insurance claims, send claims electronically,
track accounts receivable, and produce a wealth of reports to aid
in the management of a healthcare practice. |

|
| How Can I Get Started? |
|
|
|
~>
|
MMSVA does not offer medical billing business opportunities,
nor do we consult with potential entrepreneurs on effective methods
of operating a billing service business. Running a billing service
is much like running any other type of business -- If you have expertise
in a particular area and you can find customers who will purchase
your services, you're in business. |

|
Experience and Training
|
|
|
|
~>
|
Many would-be entrepreneurs believe that there is no
experience necessary to become a successful billing service operator.
These people haven't taken the time to understand that a doctor's
entire financial success rests in the hands of their billing staff,
whether that staff is employed by the practice or whether the billing
is outsourced to a billing service. With knowledge and experience
comes ability. Doctors, just like other business people, look for
ability as an assurance that their trust is well-placed. Put yourself
in your customer's position: What level of experience or training
would be desirable in a billing service? |
|
|

|
There are many places to get training for medical billing.
Colleges, career schools and trade schools offer classes on medical
billing, medical terminology, and medical administrative skills. Some
billing service business opportunity companies offer extensive training.
It's also possible to learn as you work in a healthcare practice.
Look closely at any company offering a too-good-to-be-true package
with no training promising to help you start a successful billing
service with no experience. It is very unlikely that someone with
no knowledge or experience could operate a successful billing service
with no training to help them learn medical billing. |

|
| What's the Market for These Services? |
|
|
|
~>
|
There are more than 500,000 healthcare professionals
in the United States who need to bill for their services. Most healthcare
providers employ billing staff in their own office or are part of
a larger organization like a group practice or a hospital that processes
their claims and helps manage their finances. Some healthcare providers
choose to outsource their claim processing and accounts receivable
management, and qualified billing services have the opportunity to
provide these services. |
|
|
| Are Electronic Claims a Requirement? |
|
|
|
~>
|
Electronic claims are not required, but there are many
advantages associated with electronic claim filing. Health insurance
carriers provide incentives like faster payment for processing insurance
claims electronically, time-in-transit is reduced to speed payment,
and administrative costs are lower. Claims are not now required to
be processed electronically, and it is unlikely that universal electronic
processing will become a requirement in the foreseeable future. |
