 Poor Quality November 2, 2008
This book was expensive, and for the price, I thought I would be getting a quality published book. The book looks like the pages were photocopied, and the book's pages are printed on one side only. Admittedly, the information in the book may be invaluable, but for that price, the book itself should be a higher quality.
Mr. Coslick needs to tighten up his publisher. While it isn't always fair to judge a book by its cover, our human nature causes us to do exactly that. I returned it because in principal I could not see paying that high a price for information I can get in books that are a lot less expensive and better made.

If you need someone to tell you that you will need a phone line to start your business or ten paragraphs telling you to buy business cards,then this is the book for you. I can honestly say the advice in this book was common sense. There was only one piece of information that I didn't already know. Horrible! Horrible! Horrible!
If you have common sense and want a book that will actually help you, then buy "Start Up Your Own Medical Claims Billing Service" by Entrepreneur Press and Jennifer Dorsey. It was really helpful and 1/5 of the price.
 Outlines a complete business plan for setting up your own medical billing business January 15, 2008
Insurance companies have stacked the cards against the medical practice owners. Endless payment delays, denials, requests for extra documentation to prove medical necessity, payment rule changes, under-payments, reductions of allowed amounts, post-payment audits - these are the familiar symptoms of a methodical approach to keep health care provider's money. To get paid in full and to be able to focus on patient care instead of administration, practice owners often look for professional outsourced solutions. To succeed as an outsourced billing solution vendor, you must develop solid billing processes, hire and educate talented follow up personnel, acquire powerful technology, and market your service to practice owners. This book outlines a complete business plan for setting up your own medical billing business.

USELESS! USELESS! October 27, 2007

This book was useless in helping me start a MEDICAL BILLING service. It did an ok job on showing me how to START A BUSINESS, but NOT a Medical Billing business. Except for 30 so pages specfically about Medical Billing, this could have been ANY business. "How to start a hot dog stand", could have been written with this book by replacing those 30 pages. And those 30,pages with some Medical Billing info, were BADLY PHOTO COPIED PAGES OF FORMS. With NO explination of purpose or how to.
If you are looking for a bookm on "How To Start a Medical Business", DO NOT buy this book...If you are looking for a book on "How to Start a Business", do NOT buy this book, there are far better books.
Ironically, the quotes on the back of the book ARE TRUE, I.e., "Want your business to success? (Their mispelling) Then get Merlin's book. He has helped us build our home-based business every step of the way, answered our ever question, provided a wealth of information that we couldn't find ANYWHERE else and has coached and guided us..."
True, but useless.
I've never written a review, but if I can save 1 peron these $50, it was worth it...
Just get a GENERIC book, "How to start a business", money better spent...

This book is exactly what new medical billing business owners need! I obtained extensive training through medical billing and coding courses, however nothing in those courses touched on all the all-important aspects of running the business like this book, and others by Mr. Coslick. This book is a necessity if you are thinking of starting a business in medical billing. It is thorough, easy to understand and will really help you take that final step to actually start your business!
