You know that you'll never get rich working for someone else. But most small-business opportunities seem like scams - import/export, vitamins, it's all a hustle. And the more legitimate one-person careers usually seem dreary - scrubbing toilets, washing windows, you get the idea.

But wait! HERE is a business where you really can -
Work at home
Choose your own hours
Become financially independent - in almost no time at all! Through the related fields of Medical Transcription (you write out the doctors' tape-recorded notes) and Medical Claims Billing (you verify insurance reports and eliminate errors), you can provide a valuable service and make a nice chunk of change while you're at it.

This particular book offers tons of practical advice. Not only will you learn the in's and out's of the Medical Claims & Transcription businesses - including where to find clients, how to price your services, which software to choose, and what computer equipment you'll need (not much!) - but you'll also gain insight applicable to any small business you might choose to run. Will this $14 book change your life for ever?

This book seems like a good idea. It does contain a good amount of information about starting a business, but a lot of it is toward starting a business in general, rather than about a claims/transcription business, in particular. It deals a lot with manufacturing, for instance, but not so much with service, which would be this type of business. It seems to me that this is a realistic business to start, but you'll need more than this book to do it.

This book is a good general outline and business reference for anyone considering starting a business. The book focuses on sound general business information applicable to any business and it's owner. What to do and how to market a business, the tasks and research involved. The old adage of fail to plan - plan to fail, comes to mind. The book also has more information for transcription than claims (I think claims was an afterthought), but it discusses process for medical billing and some resources and references that may prove useful. A good general reference book for a claims biller or transcriptionist. However, this book will not give you the training or experience you will need to bill medical claims confidently.

After much anticipation, I received my Start Your Own Medical Claims and Transcription Business book; however, I was sort of disappointed. The aspects of starting a business was outlined beautifully, but what this book was missing was the information that was stated on the title. There are little references throughout the book that go into some detail about medical claims and transcription, but failed to go into any major detail. The money that I spent was not a total loss, there were some very good points in the book. For the money, it is worth it, but do not think that after reading it that you will be ready to quit your day job and start your own.

This book is a good start for you to get an idea for the transcription business. My wife wanted to start doing this as an at-home career. It was not until we began the business that we found out just how ignorant we were. Even reading this book cover to cover did nothing to prepare us for the actual work. This caused us to make many mistakes, not totally to blame for this book, however, there was not much that actually helped us.

Overall I would recommend this book as just the first step to beginning then find many more books to read to augment your attempt at beginning this as an at-home profession.

Thank you for reading my review.

I bought the book wanting more info into Medical Billing but unfortunately the book focuses mainly on Medical Transcription. Overall, the book was a bit vague, it gave scenarios into starting a business but not necessarily a Billing/Transcription business. It did give a few good pointers so it wasn't a complete waste of $$. I actually found the "Resource" section in the back of the book more help than the book itself. If someone is looking for an "easy read" about Medical Transcription this would be a good starter book.

As founder and developer of a unique medical transcription company, EchoScribe Inc, I know what it takes to start a transcription company. This book comes short intoo many places. Details are lacking and not for the beginner nor the advanced transcriptionists that wants to start their own company. In fact, come to our website directly to see how we may help you start your own company. Our careers section www.echoscribe.com/careers.asp has many interesting options.

This book was ok. It gave some good tips but it was not inspiring.

This book was just the thing I needed. I recommend it to anyone and everyone who is considering a business venture of their own. It was so helpful.

It is bulleted for you to be able to do a step by step so that you dont get lost or confused when starting your business. It is informative, uplifting, it motivated me, it gave me the incentive and it gave me the courage to know I could do it.

So far Im moving forward and by summer will be employed for ME! MYSELF! and I!

I have dreamed of being a business owner and yes it is happening. Not all the credit goes to the book because you have to have the will and the desire to go after this and you have to really want it, but the book has taken all of that and made it possible. Im very happy with this purchase and can say that if you are thinking about being your own boss. This will be the best investment you make.

The book arrived in excellent condition and in the time it was promised.
I would order from this seller again.
