text: looking for a way to make money at home during medical transcription or medical billing?   there are two ways to make money from home in both industries. in medical transcription you have the choice of:  1) contracting with one of the many companies that will send you the work via a secured connection (high speed internet), you do process the work, send it back to them as directed and then you will be paid for the completed work.  2) you can start your own medical transcription business, find your own clients to work with, process their workload and then get paid for the services that you rendered.  in medical billing there aren’t any legitimate companies that i know of that will hire or contract you to process their medical claims for them so the only option that you have is to start your own home based medical billing business/service.  i do both medical billing and transcription from home and i own the businesses. i have never contracted with other companies to process their work because to me it’s just like working as an employee and we all know that to become financially secure you have to be owner of a thriving business not the hired help.  there are two resources that you should read because they are by experts within each field:   1) "step-by-step guide to medical transcription at home". michele miller wrote this book and her advice can be found on every reputable medical transcription message board and forums. she has been in the business for years and is an expert on the topic of how to get involved in this industry so visit http://stelopm.mml461.hop.clickbank.net   2) “medical billing book for beginners”. this book was written by paul hackett and he is know in the medical billing industry as “the medical billing mastermind”. his book is being deemed as the “bible” to starting a successful medical billing business so visit http://medicalbillingbook.tripod.com/
