What you will need to succeed

Money
Many companies charge anywhere from $99 to $20,000 for medical billing software. However software is seldom enough; it is only one of the tools you will need. CAYMM feels that in order to succeed in this business you need to invest your money in a solid foundation which can only be found at The Academy of Medical Billing.

Space
A billing center can be started in the corner of a room. The minimum requirement is a phone, computer system, and a work table. Appointments with physicians are conducted at their office.

Time
Many billing center owners start by working part-time processing claims. Naturally, the more time you put into the business the faster the business will grow. One person could easily handle ten physicians, depending on their specialty.

Equipment
Computer, phone, fax/modem, copier, file cabinet, general office supplies (stapler, tape, etc.).

Legal
Currently there are no known special licenses or certificates to operate a medical billing service; however it is always advisable to check with your town about a home-based business.

Marketing
Our marketing book guides you through the marketing process with plenty of sample pieces. You can spend as little or as much time and money in marketing as your budget allows.

Commitment
You need motivation, persistence, and determination. If you have these, then you're on your way!
