work & school

A friend of mine started her own medical billing business & it looks like this may be my oportunity to put to use what I had gone to school for. She has had this business for a while now & if anything, she wants me to work from home. Only thing, I need my OWN computer. No one can have access to it but me because patient files will be stored in that computer & that kind of information is confidential & I have to abide by HIPPA regulations. When I saw her the other day, she told me that I can start anytime. Again, all I need is a computer that is set up with high speed internet & I'm good to go. Her main office right now is her home office & she also has an office in Daly City. I'm pretty excited about this. No one else will hire me due to my lack of experience. Most of the employers that are looking for Medical Billers are looking for at least 2-5 years of experience & unfortunately, I don't have any experience. I let her know that & she said that it's okay & she will give me experience. I'm in the process of looking for a computer. Possibly buying Cris old computer & he will set it up for me. THANKS BABE! He'll be a huge help 'cause he knows all about that computer stuff.

So anyway...due to low enrollment, I did not start school last Wednesday. I called the lady at Boston Reed & she told me that class was postponed. But no date yet though. She just told me to call back w/in a week. If I start that Medical Billing job, I may hold off on school for a while though. Its full time & I want to take this opportunity 'cause I know how hard it is to find a job in this field due to my lack of experience. I'm better off working w/my friend & getting experience from her so that later on, it would probably be easier for me to find a job if I decide to go somewhere else.
