• Network This is one of the most effective ways to find home medical billing jobs. Visit health care providers with your marketing material. Start with your own physician, dentist and other health care providers you know. They may be able to refer you to other health professionals. Market to doctors, hospitals, care facilities, nursing homes, dentists, social workers, pharmacists, ambulance services, physical therapists and optometrists. Targeting a single speciality such as chiropractors or cardiologists may be a good way to start off your business. The coding and terminology will be more specific with a particular speciality. As you gain experience and expertise you can expand to other areas of health care.
• Join professional organizations There are a number of professional associations for medical billers. The Professional Medical Billers Association at http://www.pmbausa.com, the American Medical Billing Association at http://ambanet.net , AAPC at http://www.aapc.com and Healthcare Billing and Management Association at http://www.hbma.org are some options. These organizations provide resources such as job boards and networking opportunities for finding home medical billing jobs.
• Direct marketing You can obtain lists of health care professionals that currently file medical claims through a number of sources. A good resource is the Little Blue Book which lists doctors by speciality and alphabetically and also provides hospital, pharmacy and health plan contact information. This book is available from www.tlbb.com. Your local Medicare carrier can also provide lists of health professionals that file with them. The Medicare Participating Physician Directory is published in each state and is usually available for free online from Medicare. Hospitals can also provide a list of affiliated health professionals. Develop a direct mailing campaign that targets the health care providers you have chosen to focus on. Options include sending out postcards, brochures, flyers, emails and business letters. Follow up with a phone call.
• Health care publications Advertising in health care publications and medical journals is another way to find potential clients. Publishers of health care magazines and journals include Advanstar Healthcare, Dowden Health Media, Longwoods Publishing and Nelson Publishing.
• Online medical billing companies There are online medical billing companies that may employ you as an independent contractor. However beware of scams and check out any online medical billing company thoroughly before making any sort of commitment. Find out more at Medical Coding and Billing Jobs
