We want to put up a medical answering business but we don’t how to start. I’d just like to know the specific procedures and equipment in order for us to successfully jumpstart our new venture.

I guess it kinda depends on where you live, but….what temp. do you consider to be cold? I’m in CT and it’s about 45 degrees now, which is comfortable to me. We haven’t had the need to turn on the heat yet this fall. I work for an answering service, where we answer for a couple heating companies. I get all kinds of ppl crying they have no heat when it’s 50 degrees….i don’t get it. Today it was in the mid 60’s and we still got numerous ‘no heat’ calls. Are we all so spoiled that we must be perfectly comfortable at all times. When it gets a little chilly my first instinct is to grab a sweater not the thermostat…but maybe i’m crazy…lol. So anyway, what temp. do you consider to cold?

I am currently doing medical messaging from home (dr.’s answering service), but I am looking more along the lines of medical billing or data entry. I have 2 babies at home and would really prefer to stay home to raise them. And NO, I do not want any sales, commission only, pay first, phony jobs!!!! Thanks to all who can help.
PS: I don’t want any pyramids, licking envelopes, refer-a-friend, sell avon, ameriplan, etc, answer surveys kinda nonsense. I am talking about working for a normal company, but at home.

My girlfriend is considering re-entering the food service industry, and we live in a fairly touristy town (Charleston, SC). I was curious to hear from waitstaff who have worked in both touristy places and non-touristy places about the tipping habits of both groups of consumers. And yes, I do realize it varies by the nature/location/time of day/etc. of the establishment. I’m not looking for a concrete answer, just opinions from people who have worked in the industry.

I have a bill from a consult with a doctor’s assistant. I had to talk to this person before the doctor would decide if he would take my case or not. I never talked to the doc, but they are billing me 200.00 for something I could have filled out myself on paper. This person just asked questions and wrote down my answers. Then after the visit was over, they decided to tell me they didn’t accept my insurance.

Isn’t there a way to refuse payment?
There has to be some sort of checks and balances. Otherwise, doctors could get away with anything. Why should I pay 200 dollars and receive nothing in return? What if every doctor, dentist, hair stylist, oil change guy charged a fee to have an assistant fill out a questionaire for you? There has to be some protection against unfair practices.
I talked to the office and they said this is their policy. I just don’t consider this a consult, since the doctor may not even wish to take the case. This was a question answer session. No feedback on possibilities whatsoever, just, “If the doctor decides to accept you as a patient the nwe will call you.”

This is my thesis statement “Living in an urban environment provides numerous advantages over living in a rural area, such as greater access to cultural events, shops and services; and also a more diverse population.”My question is what kind of supporting paragraphs (examples, details, definitions, analysis, comparison/contrast, cause/effect) will be appropriate to support this thesis for your persuassive essay?Explain your answer.

My ex-wife and I live on opposite ends of the country. Sending the kids is expensive. When she doesnt pay her full child support the expense is impossible. She is now taking me to court for enforcement of visitation order which has a contemp of court attached to it. What are the possibilities that the judge will hand down? The court gave her 3 visitations for the year. 2 of the visits are to be shared cost 50/50, one visit is my full responsibility. She only asks once a year for the ticket thats my responsibility and never for the ticket that we share the cost on. She does not pay her child support and changes her job when the child support services find her.
Please no answers that I can not withold visitation for lack of child support, I know this. My question is what will happen to me if I am held in contempt of court?

This is for medical software highend services.

Hi, I have a skin problem (red spots on my legs) but I’ve just arrived into USA and don’t have medical insurance yet (and cost of treatment is too expensive for me to afford)… Is there a service nearby or in Menifee, California where I can ask a question about this problem and get an answer free of charge or virtually free of charge?

If it is a phone service somewhere in the USA that will also do. Please, help me! =(
