Description: This
is an online subscription forum with over four hundred tips,
tricks and strategies on either getting that first job or
significantly increasing your income as a healthcare professional.
It includes a series of articles, organized as an
online forum or blog. Users can read, search, print, save, rank or comment on
any article. Also there are numerous Internet Links for additional
information.
I like to think of it as a book but with several
advantages: It is searchable. updated continually, and includes
dozens of internet links. Currently, if printed, it would be
about
300 pages of information.The general outline of this forum is:
General Healthcare Topics: Disciplines, Facility Types, Physician
Specialties
Marketing (Lots of valuable information)
Technical Resources
Professional Associations and Certifications
Getting that First Coding/Billing/Consultant Job (even without
experience!)
Increasing your revenue as a Coder, Biller or Consultant.

have been accumulating the articles and stories in this forum since
2003.

is a roll up your sleeves, get in trenches, do the work Forum. We

to break into the position we have always dreamed of or break the
glass ceiling just above our heads.
