Where can someone find a Medical Billing Job?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

For just medical billing and not coding too, it should be anywhere from $500-$800. If you add in medical coding training, it should be $2,000 or under. FIND a reputable school and not one who sells billing software posing as a school. You must be trained well to be successful in this business and if you wish to work at home, you'll need to buy expensive medical billing software to start the process, so calculate your start up costs into your overall expenditure.

The price of these courses can also be cheaper if you choose to take it online as there wouldn't be any other fees (such as computer fees or other extra payments) as you would only have to pay for the course. It is cost effective as well as you wouldn't have to pay for gas or the bus going to the scheduled training compared to studying at home at your own time and pace.

What is the statute of limitations in wyoming for medical bills?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The statute of limitations for medical bills in Wyoming is typically six years. This means that medical providers have up to six years from the date of service to file a lawsuit to collect unpaid bills. After this time period, they may no longer be able to pursue legal action against the debtor. However, it is advisable to consult with a legal professional to understand the specific details and any potential exceptions that may apply in your situation.

How long does it take to earn a medical billing and coding degree?

Asked by Wiki User

Education and training. Employers prefer to hire transcriptionists who have completed postsecondary training in medical transcription offered by many vocational schools, community colleges, and distance-learning programs. Completion of a 2-year associate degree or 1-year certificate program-including coursework in anatomy, medical terminology, legal issues relating to health care documentation, and English grammar and punctuation-is highly recommended, but not always required. Many of these programs include supervised on-the-job experience. Some transcriptionists, especially those already familiar with medical terminology from previous experience as a nurse or medical secretary, become proficient through refresher courses and training.

What strengths should a team leader have?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Do a GOOGLE SEARCH on BO SHORT and get his book. I believe it is called "The Foundation of Leadership". This is the best book about leadership on the market today. Puyt those values in place and you will be able to lead effectively.

  • WHAT MAKES A GOOD LEADER: Whether it is sports, head of a project at school or in business leaders should know that each person on their team is of some value and capable and responsible. Example: If you are playing baseball then you have to let your team practice and see where each person fits where. For instance one person may make a great pitcher, while another is better on First Base, etc. If one or two of your team members is weak in all areas of baseball, then as a leader you should encourage them and perhaps spend extra time with them in practice or team them up with another member of the team to help them practice. Believe in your team and all it's members!

    Your team members may not always agree with you about helping someone that is not sports orientated and may say things like 'kick him off the team' or, 'he stinks as pitcher.' As a leader should be strong and know there is potential in each team member and it is up to you to help the weaker team members and to communicate to the rest of the team that is what the game is all about.

    You should NEVER put yourself above your team! You should be one of them and help where you can.

    Your team members should be treated with respect by you and you are their mentor so 'monkey see, monkey do.' If you lose your temper then you have lost control! Be firm with some team members that may try to boss other team members around and communicate sternly to them how you feel about this and you won't tolerate it.

    It's important for a leader to have respect for each team member be it personal (perhaps they are having problems at home; school; etc.) or having problems with the sport. You are suppose to be open to discuss with that person and keep what they say CONFIDENTIAL! Be aware and be a good listener.

    Leaders should know that some team members may have untapped skills and that team member may not know they even have it, so it is up to you to bring the best out in each individual of your team and that includes yourself!

    Never play favorites with your team members (example: Even if you like two or three team members better than the others NEVER let the team know this and don't give special treatment to a select few on that team. This includes people you may not like ... be fair, honest and try to bring the best out in that person. Many times when you have this attitude the person that can be a 'poor sport' or a 'bully' could well change their attitude.

    You should 'walk the walk and not talk the talk.' This simply means that whatever you expect from your team you must do the same. There are no two separate rulings between leaders and their team.

    If your team does extremely well communicate that fact to them. If they didn't do well then don't be upset or disappointed and say something like, 'Well, we are a little weak here and there so we need to figure out a way to tighten that gap by practicing more and helping each other.' If one or more of your team members says 'get rid of this guy or that because they are costing us from winning games' remind your team members that 'team' means working together!

    The more you know each member of your team the stronger your team is.

    Leaders should always be organized, prepared and capable of leading that team and foreseeing any problems that may come up. Think ahead to possibilities that may occur!

    Leaders and Team Members should speak as 'we' and not as 'I' for a team is ONE and not separate.

    Compliment ALL team members, but you can pat someone on the back that has done an outstanding job. If you don't do this then the other members will become apathetic and won't try to better themselves.

    Remember, you are the Leader, but you are only as good as your Team Members!

    Being a good leader and building a good team is by making mistakes and occasional failures. You have to decide what is and what isn't good for your team. When the teams win it shouldn't just be the Leader that gets all the credit, but the Team Members because without each other there is no team!

Asked by Wiki User

working in a rural area, i make 10.00, but there are jobs available in downtown Chicago that pay from 60,000 to 110,000 a year, so there is really a very wide range.

The person that answered I believe is speaking about a Medical Billing. Medical Billing and Medical Coding are two separate Careers. Billers work for Doctor's Offices and are on the lower pay scale earning a per hour rate and based on what part of the country you live. Coders on the other had work from home and do coding for the Insurance Companies. Pay varies greatly for them as well but can be anywhere from $30,000 to upwards of $100,000 all depending on company you work for, personal effort and experience.

Why are you interested in becoming a medical coder?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is a type of question that you may be presented with at a job interview.

It is intended to get you to talk about yourself in an informal way and to help the interviewer to make an evaluation.

As you are the only one that can answer such questions you should think carefully about them beforehand. This is the part of the interview where you can sell yourself.

Do not just repeat the same lines you have read in a book or online, the interviewer will know all those answers.

Think positive and be original.
