what software do you need to work as a medical billing and coding specialist from home?

There are alot of medical billing software available.  One that I am familiar with is T.H.O.M.A.S made by Genius Solutions.  The problem with medical billing software, as is with most types of specialized software, is that it comes with a pretty hefty price tag, and often times a site license renewal fee comes into play as well.  \n\nIf you are looking into a career as an independent medical biller, I would suggest trying to find an independent medical practice close to your home, find out how they handle their medical billing.  You'll be surprised how many medical offices outsource their medical billing to a company who charges them an extraordinary rate.  \n\nIf that medical practice is willing to hire you, and pay for the software (if they don't already own one), and pay for the site license renewal fees (after all these are office expenses for the practice),  you could start your career as an in-house independent medical biller.

There are lots of medical coding courses you can find online by googling or yahooing.  My recommendation would be to talk to people locally that do it and get their input about how to get started.

If you like doing Data Entry at home, and have the computer/software to do it, you might find plenty of work if you live in or close to a good sized city.  After I suffered a work injury, I was not able to return to work, and so on... At any rate, I did find several companies that were looking for Data Entry personel (they had been getting them from the temp agencies, as a neighbor was one). So I started calling these companies, went in and spoke to hiring managers, and eventually got several jobs working as an independent contractor for printing companies, and then for a couple of medical billing companies. I eventually "sold" my business to my neighbor, and she is now a very happy and sucessful business owner. There is so many opportunities out there that are not a scam. And you can create most of them yourself. Try it, and good luck.
