I think you're saying that you're new to the health care revenue industry and want to start your own billing business??
I'm not saying it can't be done, but I would equate it to "I just cooked dinner for myself the first time and would now like to start a restaurant. How do I do that?" I try to be supportive of newer members/coders, but if you are new to billing/coding and have no experience with it, my personal opinion is that starting your own business is not the way to go. Even many experienced billers/coders struggle when trying to start their own business. I often hear getting a first client is a huge hurdle (particularly with outsourcing). Additionally, the past 10 years, many small practices are merging/bought out by large healthcare systems.
I would focus on getting a job and experience and then work from there.
Good luck on your new career path!
