| Little Changed Since HIPAA Implemented |

Rule intended to guarantee medical privacy has
yielded complaints, but very few cases brought to
court.
WASHINGTON - In the three years since Americans
gained federal protection for their private medical
information, the Bush administration has received
thousands of complaints alleging violations -- yet it
has not imposed a single civil fine and has
prosecuted just two criminal cases.

| Don't Forget the Letters of Testimonial |
|
Promote your business through client satisfaction
while building a nice testimonial
portfolio.
There comes a period of time in the relationship you
have with your client when a "letter of
testimonial"
becomes ripe for the asking. Only
you will know the
right time - but don't wait too long!
Although your
client may still be very happy with your services
months down the road, they tend to
forget the
shape of their receivables prior to utilizing your
services if too much time has passed.
Obtaining a letter of tesimonial from each of your
clients is invaluable to your business and
promotion
and is easy to ask for. The 60-90 day mark is
usually a good time frame --- giving your client time
to analyze the benefits you have provided as
his/her
medical billing outsourcing agency.
The letter obtained from your client should briefly
address his/her satisfaction and the benefits
gained from the relationship. Compile a
portfolio of testimonials and be sure to use these
when approaching prospective clients!

Ann Grinnell
Velocity Medical Billing Services, LLC
Winnetka, CA
Do you like what you do? Well, I do
and I love to tell
people about my business and my passion!
Two
years ago I decided to leave my job of 23 years
at a
major corporation and start my own business.
I
loved what I did but driving two to four thousand
miles every month was getting old. My husband and
I rarely got to spend time together because,
not only
was my job extremely time consuming, his was too.
He also worked for the same corporation and his
hours were long (24-36 hours at a time) for days on
end. I wanted to do something that would
provide
more time for each other and for our daughter and
her growing family.
So began the search for what to do. It had
to be
something that I could do from home -- I
had
been "on the road" for too many years. After
investigating quite a number of opportunities,
Dave
and I decided that Medical Billing was the
right
choice. I decided on an LLC and
Velocity Medical
Billing Services, LLC was born!
I had looked into many different courses but
had no trouble deciding that Medical
Billing Course.com was the one for me.
