Student Success Story
Wivine Palmer
Wivine MedClaims Billing
Become a medical billing specialist?
I never thought this was a possibility until
I found a career school brochure in a local
supermarket, that read,
"Study at Home and Begin a New Career
Working with Doctors in as Little as Four
Months." I thought,
"Maybe this was something I would like to
try!" New to the country with a medical
background, maybe it wasn't a bad idea to
try out medical billing first. To do what I
used to do would have required a much longer
process to accomplish.

How Does "Medical Billing" Fit Into the
"Work at Home Scams?
 Yes,
you can work from home in medical billing,
just not typically as an "employee."
Nearly 600,000 Americans lost their jobs in
January 2009,
according to the U.S. Department of Labor,
and
2-3 million more jobs are projected to be
lost over the coming year.
Sadly, because of this, "work from home
opportunity scams" are on the rise.
These scams prey on people's vulnerabilities
and fears and with so many people out of
work, wondering what they are going to do
next to sustain themselves financially,
there's a lot of vulnerability and there is
a lot of fear out there.

billing and/or coding and I cannot seem to
find a job." Or I hear/see
someone say they have taken or want to take
a course in medical billing and then work
from home. Let's take a realistic look of
the probability and job market of a position
as a work at home employee for a medical
practice.
In today's economy the unemployment rate is
soaring. Businesses in general are making
cut-backs in staff, salaries and benefits.
Healthcare providers have been feeling these
economic crunches for years
with cut-backs in Medicare, Medicaid and
other insurance carriers.
