I was really nervous about whether he would ask me about other clients, but nothing was said, and in fact, everything about the office was exactly as you said it would be. He said, "Well, what exactly do you say to Medicare when you call." I said, "Well, if I told you that, you wouldn't need me would you?" He cracked up.

Many thanks, you do a great service.

In his books, Merlin magically simplifies the art of marketing so that even a novice in the marketing area can grasp complex marketing concepts and put them into action. He reviews all facets of the business in a straightforward, no-holds-barred manner. The books cover all aspects of the business—the good and the bad; what to do and what not to do; companion areas of the business; followed by detailed scenarios to accomplish the final result. These are inspirational and positive “how to” guides.

I wish I had known about this book before I began my research for my medical billing business. It covers all the important issues about starting your business including specific marketing ideas, samples of letters and form, and what to expect from medical providers. The book is written with a sense of humor so it is fun reading as well. The best thing about this book is that it gave me focus. There is an incredible amount of information about this business from a variety of sources and this book sorts it all out. I recommend it to anyone who is serious about getting into the medical billing business.
“Medical Billing Marketing Success” reviewer from Roseville CA

This book is great. It gives you initial interview forms, a contract sample, marketing letters, patient information forms, thank you letters, follow up letters, just about every form you could possibly need to start your business. It also has suggestions as to how to conduct your first interview and the answers to the most dreaded questions. I think all of Merlin’s books are the best way to get started in this business. I read them all and now have a successful business.
“Medical Billing Marketing Success” review, R. Koenig, Clifton NJ

Run, don’t walk. As a beginner in the field of medical billing I have found that Merl Coslick’s books have been invaluable confidence boosters. I ended up joining the Electronic Medical Billing Network of America, Inc. (EMBN). When I have a question, I call or email the Network and the responses are fast and courteous. I consider this book a must-have for anyone considering this career.

This is a new area for me. I want to start a new business that did not require a lot of extensive training but would allow me to use the experience and knowledge I already have. Medical Billing is it. You can be as successful as you want to be. I thought this book provided the basic understanding of the business and steps to get you going. It was written for everyone to understand and also provided the motivation to get started. Of course you need additional materials to get started but again this book tells you what the next steps are and the materials needed to get going. I appreciated the “one stop shop” for everything that is available from the (Electronic Medical Billing Network of America, Inc. EMBN) association, but you don’t have to join the association to get the materials. Starting your own business will entail some startup capital. The cost of the book is only a drop in the bucket compared to the rewards of starting your own medical billing service.

Great book for the beginning medical biller. It gave me added confidence to get started. Well written.
Amazon reviewer, “Setting Up Your Medical Billing Business”

I read this book and believe that Mr. Coslick did not leave anything stuck in his sleeve. He gives you facts, motivation and the details that makes you feel the sense of up-coming opportunity. Light spirited is the way I define the delivery of the message of Mr. Coslick, who gives it all. I am a person involved with projects, and I have hit the road, but after reading this book I have learned marketing principles that go beyond the theme.

Merlin sums it all up in an easy to understand format. His books are exactly what you need in the medical billing business. I found them all very helpful. He does a superb job at giving you all the pertinent information you need to get off the ground.
