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 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 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! =(

I’m trying to look into medical transcription and a friend of mine went ahead with this by learning on her own and finding doctors who wanted her services. I’d rather have some sort of certificate or training from a recognized institution behind me before I venture out in building my own business this way. Where did you get your training and how did you then get started? I’d really like to hear from real people who are doing this and making $ – not someone in some scam school who can’t graduate and find work and not just someone sending me miscellaneous links – there are tons of transcription scams and bad companies who put links all over the internet. That’s why I’m having trouble with my research to be honest. If you are a doctor who uses a medical transcriptionist – what would you look for and what sort of training would you prefer an individual have?

when in Emergency medical services can you really say you are real? is it after that first firstaid course? or after your first save a life expirience? when you get that first measley little pay check? or when your told to be happy you can serve… and your not getting a check…(forced volunteers) or when you answer your first real mci on your vol. pager? when you get your name in the paper? when you graduate EMT? when you come back to the ambulance bay covered in emmisis and excrament and blood? when are you really considered real?

Medical School . Where do I begin?
So I am a junoir in high school with a 3.5 GPA and 1800 SAT.
I come from one of the top 100th public schools in the nation and can get into some pretty good undergrad programs. I want to have a general plan for my future though. I want to be a pschiatrist so Medical school will be in my future. I very much like New York city. I am extremley independent and I would have no problem going to CUNY Hunter or another cheap school, finding a roomate and getting an undergrad degree with all honors and a estimated GPA between 3.8-4.0. I want to go to a medical school in New york city. But, I could also go to a much better undergrad program , prob get a 3.7 without honors but more expensive. My family is pretty well off but I dont want them to pay for everything and if I went to a new york city school I could probably hold a job. I am very mature and can fit in with city life , dorms and all that college baggage I could live with but I can also live without.

My Uncle went to Columbia University so I might have a slight shot their. What should I do? Where should I begin? Should I go to a harder better undergrad program or a decent one that is cheaper in the city where I will probably got to medical school. I am from southern California and My uncle lives near new york and is a dentist(MD) .
I have some extra corriculars to:

CPR certification
Lifeguard
2 national titles
200 hours community service
And more……..

So what undergrad program seems like the best and smarter, better choice all around. When should I start studying for the MCATS and what are some good majors (pre-med/chem./bio ….)

I need help…i already answered this but i don’t know if i am correct or not…can someone suggest answers..tnx..

Dear Sir/madam/automated telephone answering service

Having spent the past twenty minutes waiting for someone at Leith police station to pick up a telephone I have decided to abandon the idea and try e-mailing you instead. Perhaps you would be so kind as to pass this message on to your colleagues in Leith by means of smoke signal, carrier pigeon or ouji board.

As I’m writing this e-mail there are eleven failed medical experiments (I think you call them youths) in West Cromwell Street which is just off Commercial Street in Leith. Six of them seem happy enough to play a game which involves kicking a football against an iron gate with the force of a meteorite. This causes an earth shattering CLANG! which rings throughout the entire building. This game is now in it’s third week and as I am unsure how the scoring system works, I have no idea if it will end any time soon.

The remaining five walking abortions are happily rummaging through several bags of rubbish and items of furniture that someone has so thoughtfully dumped beside the wheelie bins. One of them has found a saw and is setting about a discarded chair like a beaver on speed. I fear that it’s only a matter of time before they turn their limited attention to the bottle of calor gas that is lying on it’s side between the two bins. If they could be relied on to only blow their own arms and legs off then I would happily leave them to it. I would even go so far as to lend them the matches. Unfortunately they are far more likely to blow up half the street with them and I’ve just finished decorating the kitchen.

What I suggest is this, after replying to this e-mail with worthless assurances that the matter is being looked into and will be dealt with, why not leave it until the one night of the year (probably bath night) when there are no mutants around then drive up the street in a panda car before doing a three point turn and disappearing again. This will of course serve no other purpose than to remind us what policemen actually look like.

I trust that when I take a claw hammer to the skull of one of these throwbacks you’ll do me the same courtesy of giving me a four month head start before coming to arrest me.

I remain sir, your obedient servant

I have been operating a small fund for the environment for some time now and all the money has been actually coming from my own pocket mainly.
Now we are getting larger and more sophisticated, I dont want to do anything wrong by the ATO so I would like to know when a charity can start to pay some higher workers who do fulltime hours and contractors who provide major services?
I know the money or profit as such (takings/gifts etc) cannot be distributed to the owners or members but are you allowed to legally pay a fulltime worker?
I am led to beleive that MBF medical for example is a non profit organisation but they surely pay their staff a wage to answer calls etc?
When does this become legal to do or is it ok at any level of funding or any size of charity to start paying fulltime workers who have no part of ownership etc of the charity?

Many thanks for any informed answer.
Mick
