While no one can deny that internet is the right place
where one can succeed through relatively many good home
internet business opportunities, it is not irrefutable to
say the contrary. In fact, a growing number of them are
intended to deceive. Among these home internet businesses
is medical billing business.Proclamed themself to be part
of the best work at home Internet business ideas, these
schemers are just out for your money. The idea is to charge
an upfront fee to get you started, and then leave you to
fend for yourself in an industry where you have little
chance of succeeding. Other fraudulent business opportunity
schemes such as envelope stuffing and product assembly take
your money and then reject your work – and thus its payment
– as substandard.
[Editors Note] Home businesses are often advertised on the internet
and some are advertised through spam e-mail protecting your data is
vital]
Advertisements touting these prepackaged medical billing
centers show up on TV, on the Web and in newspapers. Major
metro newspapers, probably the most savvy about these
schemes, generally do not accept the ads. Responding to the
ad for the medical billing work at home Internet business
opportunity will result in your receiving a phone call,
with a pitch about the burgeoning health care system
crisis. Typically the hawker will tell you that claims are
piling up and waiting to be processed. The result,
according to the person on the phone, is to process these
claims electronically, which is not being done often or
expansively. This, the pitch goes, is what makes it a
lucrative work at home Internet business for you.
The promise is that you'll make a lot of money as doctors
outsource their billing to you. You can, they say, work in
accounts receivable, insurance claims and physician or
dentist practice management. Including in the presentation
is the assurance that not only do you not need experience
but that their sales staff will kick start your work at
home Internet business by putting you together with health
care clients. The reality is that if you have any chance at
all to make any money – or even get your initial investment
back – you're going to have to find your own clients.
The investment for this alleged lucrative work at home
Internet business is not small – typically $2500-$9000.
Prior to your commitment you will be mailed a business
brochure, the application and license agreement (contract),
document of disclosure, diskette samples, references and
testimonials and videocassettes. Your investment is
supposed to result in training, software and technical
support. The references are commonly shills – the name for
people that a company hires to provide favorable but
dishonest testimonials.
The reality is that medical billing is seldom a lucrative
work at home Internet business. Few people who purchase
these programs are able to find enough clients to even
recoup their investment much less make a living at it. It's
not that medical billing isn't a legitimate business. It's
that the competition is fierce and the market is saturated.
