This book is great, it gives you initial interview forms, a contract sample, marketing letters, patient information forms, thank you letters, follow up letters, just about every form you could possible need to start your business.

It also has suggestions as to how to conduct your first interview and the answers to the most dreaded questions.

I think all of Merlin's books are the best way to get started in this business. I read them all and now have a successful business that is about 1 yr old.

I wish I had known about this book before I began my research for my medical billing business. It covers all the important issues about starting your business including specific marketing ideas, samples of letters and forms, and what to expect from medical providers. The book is written with a sense of humor so it is fun reading as well. The best thing about this book is that it gave me focus. There is an incredible amount of information about this business from a variety of sources and this book sorts it all out. I recommend it to anyone who is serious about getting into the medical billing business.

I was excited to locate a book that targeted exactly what I was trying to achieve. Medical Billing Marketing. Not just marketing, but Marketing for my business. So I ordered it, even paid the extra $10 to get it here STAT!

Once I got it it appeared to be an owners manual of some sort...but "dont judge a book by its cover"

Once I opened it, I began to read, many of the Only 33 pages on marketing. The information was redundant, and spent telling you how a doctoers office works??? Than not to follow up with prospects???? Than to just walk in drop a card, and hope that someone remebers its around if they are ever in the market????? That was the worst sales/marketing advice I have ever been given! Finally hitting home the newest concept of Electronic billing, which is not new in my neck of the woods. So also outdated!

The next 10 or so pages are a glossery of very basic terms we should all be aclimated with.

The final pages are them trying to sell you more informative products..

In short, go to your local bookstore and find the book, "Making Friends with Big Bird and the Sesame Street Gang" It will be more informative, and you can also share it wioth the kids!

The book Medical Billing Marketing Success: Finding Local Clients is an expertly written text by Merlin Coslick, the Executive Director of the Association- Electronical Medical Billing Network of America. This text has a wealth of useful ideas and practical techniques for targeting, and finding medical providers that can have positive and fruitful results. Read it, and we think you will find it to be helpful to your overall business venture.

I have purchased several of Merlin Coslick's books and have found all of them to be extremely helpful. The sample forms included in this really show you the day-to-day operations of running a medical billing business and were extremely helpful to me. They alone answered so many questions I had that were not covered during your standard training for this business. I don't know where else I could have obtained the information that is contained in this book. Highly recommended for anyone in this field. I also would state that the author responded immediately and thoroughly to me when I inquired to him directly regarding a question I had. He was very prompt, thorough and helpful.

After being in the medical field over 5 years, and working for such doctors as Family Physicians, Orthopedic Surgeons, Neurosurgeons, OB/GYN, and Nephrologists, I have come to know the mind of most doctors. Male, female, surgeon or family physician, doesn't matter because they really do have quite similar ways of thinking and functioning. Merl Coslick's books are right on the money. As I read the first one I thought, "wow he really knows how it is behind those clinic doors". I also think he hits very key points for general marketing. If you need to market to doctors, read his books.

The book was helpful; but if you really want guidance from Mr. Coslick or anyone in his organization, all I can say is GOOD LUCK.

This book is an obvious effort to cash in on anxious beginners looking to start their own medical billing practice. Most of this book has copied forms from other companies that sell billing software and pages of glossary terms.There is very little meat here and little effort I believe to actually help the beginner. The object here I believe is, to make a quick buck.
