Billing change

Has anyone out there pursued their medical billing degree along with their MT degree? I am currently studying for my RMT exam and am seriously considering getting my Medical Billing credentials, as well. I thought it might be a good back-up plan in case I had difficulty obtaining work in the MT field. I also thought it might make me look more versatile, overall, if I had an education in billing. I am not planning on taking any coding courses. I would greatly appreciate all feedback. Thanks. ...

I have a stupid question. When I finished my MT course with Allied Medical School, I then found out they are NOT (federally) accredited, they do not assist you in finding positions, and they do not assist in helping you become certified. In other words, I felt that I wasted all of that money. As a newbe I was unable to find a job. I started apprenticing with a company, paid their $500 fee for software, and after 8-9 months, found they had changed their name. Apparently, they were getti ...

I have been an MT for 20+ years and now looking into coding and billing... Would you recommend it? I am considering this, but looking for some words of wisdom prior to making a decision. I see Career Step offers the program, but not familiar enough with Career Step to know if they are a reputable.

I just hung up with an acquaintance in CA who is a professional placement consultant. I explained to her that after 25 or so years in MT, the writing is on the wall and I need to get OUT. She had some good suggestions for me and asked me if I knew MEDICAL BILLING, i.e. insurance stuff. She said that she knows a few people doing it from home and that they are "making a killing." Knowing that Andrews has a good reputation, I did an online search but it appears that Andrews only ...

I see a lot of my clients as a patient. I have health insurance, which states that they accept a certain payment from that insurance as full payment. However, certain clients do balance billing, which is illegal. Balance billing is basically billing you personally for the amount over what they accepted as payment from that insurance company as an in-network physician. If this were not my client, I would refuse to pay; however, since they are my clients, I have no choice. How would they feel if ...

I have a background in medical transcription however I am unable to sit in the same position (foot pedal - headset - typing) for any length of time.

I have just recently started working at a doctor's office. I do the transcription. Sometimes when I have a report on a patient who has BCBS insurance, the billing person will come in and tell me to go back into the report from a few days back and take out one of the two x-rays dictated and to do a seperate x-ray report with a different date. To me, it doesnt sound right. It raises a big red flag. I do not work in billing and I am new to the office environment, ...

As a starving MT, I am going to take the plunge through AAPC to enroll either in their coding or billing program. I cannot afford both. Actually, I cannot afford either, but I feel I have to invest in the future away from MT. I've read the forums at AAPC, and some are saying there are too many credentialed coders and not enough jobs. I do not know what the job impact will be, if any, once ICD-10 is implemented, if it is implemented, and the need for more coders. ...
