Fraudulent medical billing business opportunities are a type of work-at-home scheme advertised on the Internet and the classified sections of local newspapers and "giveaway" shopper's guides. In the "help-wanted" classified sections, the ads often appear alongside legitimate ads for entry level medical billing and coding jobs, leading consumers who respond to think they're applying for a job.
The ads may lure consumers with promises of substantial income for full- or part-time work and claim that it's a "no experience job"." A toll-free number directs consumers to call for more information.
When they call, they get a high-pressure sales pitch that promises big bucks for a relatively small investment - typically in the $300 to $600 range. In exchange, they claim to provide everything you supposedly need to launch your medical billing from home business: the software program to process the claims and a list of potential clients.
But the reality is that few consumers who pay for medical billing business opportunities find clients or make any money, let alone earn the promised substantial income. And many times, the client lists they provide are based on out-of-date databases of doctors who haven't asked for medical billing services. The software they send may not work or may not have been properly authorized and so is useless.
And the promoters of these programs do little to help consumers succeed. Once consumers pay, all they get is an out-of-date database of doctors who haven't asked for medical billing services, a sample letter to use to find their own clients. And very few people are successful at getting a refund after realizing they've been scammed. It takes a lot of work to get your money back from these medical billing from home scam artists.
