Welcome.
Thank you for inquiring about the Electronic Medical Billing Network of America, Inc.
Whether you are an established billing center or an entrepreneur looking for a new
business opportunity,
I am certain you will find this professional association offers the benefits you need to
build and grow a successful medical billing business.
I have been
the owner/operator of my own company, the Electronic Medical Billing Service in Watchung,
New Jersey as a part-time venture since 1990. I've found that it has fit my life-style and
financial needs ever since. As billers for medical claims and durable medical equipment,
my company has afforded me the opportunity to share many time-proven success techniques
and insights, as the author of many books on the electronic medical billing business and
as Executive Director of the EMBN.
Off to a slow start . . .
When I started in 1990, I shelled out $10,000 for software and a
3-day training course which was given in Pasadena, California. The software vendor was Hi
Tech Management Co. I mention them openly because they have since gone bankrupt.
When I got
back to New Jersey and started marketing my new found skills, I found that doctors were
not as receptive to this service as I was led to believe they would be. It took a solid
five months of full-time marketing to land my first doctor.! I imagine in that time I did
everything I possibly could-wrong. Since then, through trial and error, study and talking
with many others in the business, I've learned the marketing techniques that make this
business work. I know they work because the doctors just keep calling.
The Network
was started in 1995. Prior to that I was teaching adult school classes on the subject of
how to start up an electronic medical billing business. That seminar is still presented
over 100 times a year in New Jersey, Connecticut, and New York City. Its purpose remains
the same: To tell the real story about medical billing as a home-based business . . .
without the sales hype.
An exciting
association, nationwide!
The Electronic Medical Billing Network was started in response to
many of my students' desires to start their billing centers without having to strike out
alone. And, I am happy in the knowledge that through the Network's efforts many, many
individuals across the nation have gone on to build very lucrative businesses. Now, as we
enter the new milennium, the Network has grown substantially. We have added much depth and
breadth to our own growth and development through the addition of Mr. Laurence Paruta,
Co-President and principal. Larry brings over twenty-five years of marketing, publishing
and entreprenurial expertise to the Network. He has started several very successful
home-based businesses; two of which are currently under his direction for more than
thirteen years. Larry's experience will serve the Network's membership well as we work to
develop new and exciting learning and business advancement opportunities for our members.
Additionally,
we have added additional support personnel to ensure that the Network operations remain
smooth and efficient. And, finally, we have built a fullfillment center in Pennsylvania to
handle distribution of our publications, tapes, software demos and colateral marketing
materials.
The Network provides benefits you can
take to the bank.
Our 8-page, monthly newsletter provides
our members with up-to-date information on marketing and sales techniques/strategies,
government developments and alerts, software info and troubleshooting guidance,
motivational articles, case histories by successful billers and the latest info on new
products and supplies.
Through the
Network, members receive discounts on books
and publications, billing supplies and marketing brochures and materials.
A phone-support hotline
is available to all members. The best benefit is learning that others are going through
the same situations in marketing and start-up and that there is help available from
sources other than software salespeople.
We hold monthly meetings in
Central New Jersey that feature industry-related speakers, panel discussions with
experienced electronic billers and lively one-on-one discussion with people in the
business.
And, new in
2000, will be the availability of cassette tape recordings of each meeting's professional
speaker as well as panel discussions featuring successful electronic medical billing
entrepreneurs.
Certification from your home.
Responding to many membership requests, the Network Certification School was started in 1997. This homestudy course has three units in starting,
marketing and building a successful billing center business. Passing the final examination
earns the designation Certified Electronic Medical Biller (CEMB).
CEMB Graduates agree that their CEMB credential has provided a significant boost with
prospective and existing clients.
