Medical code billing

I started today looking into training classes for these. Apparently from what I hear clinics, hospitals, or various medical institutions use this service and many people do this work from home.

I imagine this is something anybody could do no matter where they live.
It sounds like a real practical way to make money from home. Yayyyyyyy!!! I wonder which companies are legit, and how much the classes cost?

Thanks for the idea.

This is an uplifting thread, isn't it?

It sure is ;)

Here are a couple of addresses for online medical billing/transcription I found that seem to be legit:

Online poker professional.. There are many people out there making 100 000+ a year playing online poker. You will have to put alot of effort into learning the game though as online poker is actually much harder than live poker. I have read 5+ books on poker and have plenty of experience but still cant consistently win online. As far as live play i can win easily... only one small problem...bb and having to sit very close to people.

I've thought of this several times......... here are my suggestions:
1. Taxi driver - there is some contact but its someone different every 5 mins and you dont really have to talk.
2. Bus driver - sit in your corner and drive around all day
3. Courier guy - drive your van all day and only talk when you deliver a parcel
4. Pizza delivery guy
....... you get the drift, driving jobs mainly.........

- HGV driver
- Satellite dish installer (e.g. sky dish installer/dstv)
- Primary school teacher would be ok since the kids would never notice, the problem would be dealing with other teachers in the staff room and parents, so this is one I'd take if none of the others mentioned above are available (esp rubbish collector/dustbin man - the zennith of the BB career ladder).
- Zoo keeper
- Valleter (car wash)
- Dog washer (then you can blame the dog when asking the owner for your money and he covers his nose)
- Rubbish collector
- formula 1 driver (least enviable since you would need to communicate with the team during testing etc, so only accept this offer if rubbish collector is not available)
- Rubbish collector
- Boxer
- Athlete (esp running.. maybe marathons)
- Rubbish collector

I always thought that if halitosis could ever become an acceptable social disease, then they could design masks that anyone who thought they suffered from BB could go and buy, and wear to work.... regular work, and not be looked at funny, cos everybody would 'understand'........ I'm talking acceptability of BB sufferers in the way that say, homosexuality is now accepted.

Haligone,

i think you got something there.....the same protection from ridicule, etc......yeah....it is sorely needed....

i cain't stand it when someone is kicked when they're dowm.

Now all we gotta find is someone who is a former bb sufferer who is willing to get the ball rolling in that direction.
