Medical Billing
By Seth B., Fri Dec 9th

Work at home medical seems like the perfect job for you.You own a computer, you want to stay home, pick your own hours.You will even be trained and given leads to professionals thatneed your service.

But the chances of making the money claimed are slim. Consumersdon't realize what they're getting into. Newcomers to themedical market with no experience and no contacts in themedical field will face fierce competition. As the FTC alleged,most of the consumers didn't earn a dime.

Not all medical opportunities are scams. For consumersinterested in buying a medical business opportunity, theFTC offers advice:

• Check with the state Attorney General's office, consumerprotection agency and the Better Business Bureau in your areaand the area where the medical promoter is based tolearn whether any unresolved complaints about them or thepromoter are on file. Be aware, however, that the absence



ofcomplaints doesn't necessarily mean the medical companyis legitimate. But at least you can rule them out if there is.

• Be wary of the medical promoter wants to only providea few references.

• Interview these references in person and ask for the names oftheir clients and a description of their operations.

• Consult an attorney, accountant or other business advisorbefore signing any agreement or paying any money.

• Consult with organizations for medical claims processors ormedical businesses and with local doctors.

• If the medical opportunity sells another company'ssoftware, check with the software company to find out whethercompany representatives know of any problems with the medicalbilling promoter.

All these things may seem like a difficult task, but realmedical is a business. You need to treat it like one.Don’t be afraid to ask the medical promoter questions.
