Medical billing online work from home? I have been doing medical billing for well over 25 years. I have current CPT and ICD 9 books as well as medical dictionaries etc. I would like to do medical billing from home. We live in a very small community and there are just no jobs available. I'm trying to raise two children, and I was told that this might be an option if you can find the right companies. I have a friend, that works with a man whom has a sister that does this work from home herself, but she is unwilling to share the information. She said that the more people that get into this business the less money she will make. All she will say is that the work is out there you just have to know where to look. Everything I find online is more like classes and you have to pay for information on other sites. Can someone please point me in the right direction. I'm a hard worker, I take pride in my work, and I'm very dedicated. lee * I don't need the billing classes, as I've said I've been doing medical billing and insurance collections and reviews for years, with a very good track record.

Where is a "dictionary" of medical phrases like "end-diastolic dimension"? Searching/texts don't work so far:( I can often find definitions of single words, but try a search of that term once...all you'll see are scientific papers using the term in a complex setting of way too much jargon. It's hard to find definitions of "phrases" in textbooks too. I'm sure someone has been in the same boat. Where can you get more information on stuff like that without taking a whole heart physiology class or reading a whole textbook cover to cover or finding an expert in the field? I'm sure if I read enough of these papers I'll figure out what it is, but there must be some dictionary or encyclopedia (and I've checked online encyclopedias) that would be able to help understand complex terms like that. Until then I'll keep reading these papers until I find one with a nice diagram or picture that gives me a clue as to what stuff like that is. Thanks a million if anyone has a good idea.

alternative medicine: Zeolite - is this a hoax? In a company's self-promtion, I found this 'recommendation' of Liquid Zeolite, a natural alternative medicine (or something like that), by the "USA Patent office": "The composition of the present invention is synthesized from a naturally occurring non-toxic zeolite, and has a 100% kill rate within 72 hours against buccal mucosa and ling squamous epithelial cell cancers. It is not cytoxic to healthy human cells…" Source: selfhealingdetox. com Am I paranoid? Should I be paranoid? Should we all be paranoid? In no on-line search of medical terms did I see the combination of the words "ling squamous epithelial cell cancers". 'ling' doesn't exist in ANY online medical dictionary except as a suffix, as in swelling. Could this entry by a US patent office TYPIST be a mere TYPO, allowing the company selling "Liquid Zeolite" to use this official-sounding statement to perusade the public that their product does as they claim? Fiction? Not enuf info to incur a legal sanction?

Oh no! I have to think for myself.? up until now the homework assignments that I've had have involved looking up information and providing references. This assignment I have now, I'm not sure how to go about it because it requires a little independent thinking. I'm throwing it out here to get some ideas of what to include in my paper. Ok, I have to write 5-7 paragraphs on what the motivation is to learn medical terminology. The argument is, if you are unfamiliar with a word you can just ask the doctor, or look it up in a medical dictionary, or go online and find the answer. What is the purpose behind trying to memorize pages and pages of medical terms. I'm supposed to provide the reasons why you WOULD learn medical terminology for your job (in the medical field). The only thing I can think of is it would make your job harder if you had to stop and take the time to look up words in the dictionary everytime you encountered one. But that doesn't take up 5-7 paragraphs. Any other ideas?

Can someone help me identify a pill? It is completely spherical and gold in color, and it has no markings except for a tiny black dot about the size of a period. The entire pill is slightly smaller than the average pea. My friend gave me this pill, saying it would 'calm me down' because I was angry at someone. She told me to hold it in my mouth until I felt better and then I could take it out. I stupidly took it, and it immediately worked. My temper diffused and I felt very calm and serene, beyond the effects of a self-fulfilling prophecy. She tried to tell me it was magic, but of course I didn't believe her. I have looked it up several times in medical dictionaries and online and never been able to find out what it was - can anyone shed some light on this?

I need to interview a HCP, such as a nurse or CNA for school if you can take a minute to answer the following? questions: How important is medical terminolgy in this profession?

How often do you encounter a term that you are not familiar with or do not understand? How do you find the answer to the terms you are not familiar with? ( ask someone or look it up in a dictionary) If you did not take a medical terminology class, would you take one now before entering the health profession? Should all healthcare professionals take a medical terminology class? Please be descriptive. This is a research paper. I am legally blind and was advised to do my interview online rather than finding a way to go to a medical facility. I appreciate any help.

Emergency: Need someone who speaks fluent German and English to translate medical news to family? TRIED using an "Online Translator" but the family said "The translated version made no sense". So, I need a real, LIVE, human being who speaks fluent English and German and can help with English - to German medical information to translate the following news: "The Thyroid surgery was only supposed to take 1 hour - but it took 4 and 1/2 hours because when the Doctor opened me up - he found that the cancer had spread to my windpipe and trachea. They had to scape as much cancer off the trachea and windpipe as the could - but there are microscopic cancer cells that no one can see - so, I will have to go for a P.E.T. Scan to find where else in my body the cancer has spread to so my doctor can come up with a Radiation and Chemotherapy strategy." Thank you in advance for your help. I have a German to English dictionary - but mine does not include the medical terms needed and it's also quite old. Thank you again!

Japanese: Questions about 医者? Using Pimsleur, I was given いしゃ　「医者」 as "doctor" (medical). But when I looked it up at Densha Jisho online dictionary, it had a (sens) tag after it, marking it as a sensitive term. I am curious why it marked as a sensitive term. I am also curious about how 医者 differs from 先生 「せんせい」. I know that 先生 is a somewhat general term for teachers and professionals and doctors, but that is the only way I have heard of doctors being referred to. The term 医者 is new to me, and the sensitive tag worries me about using it. Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light on this!

Any dream interpreters out there? I need help interpreting a dream... I've looked up online dream dictionaries and they just don't fit... I had a dream the other night I found a 6 month old baby boy in a paper bag (all of the dream dictionaries have GIVING BIRTH to a baby boy) in the front of the store I work in. Everyone at work was saying we should call the cops and have them come get the baby and I told everyone "no need, I'll keep him"... even though he was only 6 month old he could talk, he told me his name was "Dunfree" or something like that... he was dirty and sick and he kept throwing up on me but I didn't care, I just carried him around work all day and I was so happy he was my baby... Here's the thing though: I cannot have children, it is physically impossible between my medical problems and my husband's low sperm count, and I have come to terms with that. What's more, at this point in our relationship and careers we don't want to have children for at least 5 years (considering IVF and adoption). I know sometimes dreams can just incorporate things you have talked about or experienced in life recently but we haven't even brought up having children for a long time... probably more than a year. I don't even know anyone who is pregnant right now. What in the world could this mean???

My mother and step-father are heading to a divorce....I hope? Ok...this is going to be very long because I'll probably be venting a ton, but here it goes... My mother and step-father got married 3 years ago after a decently rough 2-year relationship. They didn't get together for the right reasons, and it's pretty obvious. She was the first person he dated after he's 1st wife had an affair with a teenager from his baseball team that he coached. So, my mom was, like, a major rebound for him. Plus, he told his kids that he was just looking for someone to take care of them for him. She'd been single for 11 years, really struggling financially, and was SO desperate to not be alone that she'd been willig to stay with someone who'd beaten her, someone who'd cheated on her, and someone who was still married. Step-dad was making a lot of money and was willing to marry her, so they got hitched even though few of us (10 kids between the two of them!) outspokenly disliked the idea. Now it's been three years, and the last few months ahve been absolutely hellish. She's had this "sickness" that even all the specialist she's seen have said is just in her head. She's taken a handful of sleeping pills just to prove a point (another long story). She's attack step-dad. Tried to run over step-dad with a car. And is blaming everything on his kids, saying she'd wish they'd just move in with their mother (evil psycho lady that had said affair with 14 year-old kid) even though she'd been working at the kids for the past 3 years, trying to show them how horrible their mother is. Step-dad won't leave, because he doesn't want us to be left with no money (noble, yes, but still a wrong reason to stay in miserable realtionship). Step-dad won't leave becasue of his pride (told us he didn't want to look like a quitter with 2 divorces on his plate). Step-dad won't leave because he wants someone to take care of his kids for him so he can be "fun time" dad and only have to do the easy stuff like go to football games and whatnot. Step-dad doesn't want to leave, because, once again with the pride, doesn't want people at his church (he's will big in it, on a few committees) to judge him. It's all ridiculous. And mother is putting all the blame on one particular kid, my lil step sister (I'm having her come stay with me this weekend to give her a break...I'm in college by the way, so I'm not able to be there a whole lot). She won't do anything for her, even refused to take her to one of our friends' funeral who just died (she went to our highschool). Its so bizarre. She's not wearing her ring. He's not sleeping in their room. and there are 8 kids living in that enviroment!!!!!! They're heading for a divorce. Even my 7 year old step-sister has gotten that figured out without anyone having to tell her. We're all just waiting for it to happened but they won't do it!! SHE TRIED TO RUN HIM OVER!!!! And he still won't leave. And it's what most of us want, AND need. And what makes me the most mad? My 16 year-old brother, who should know better, talked her out of filing for a divorce last week because he doesn't want to lose the finances that step-dad brings to teh table. He f-ing talked her out of it! When it's in the best interest of all parties! They aren't happy together, and they never have been. They don't love each other, and they never have. I just don't understand what I should do. I mean, I'm living at school, 3 hours away, and I'm so scared something's goig to happen. She gave us all these weird little notes that seemed like suicide letters and then got mad when we started freaking out. And she looks up these illnesses online, on those medical dictionaries (which should be banned for the following reason) and all of a sudden has these "syptoms" of random diseases she thinks she has. Like memory loss. Which she doesn't have. it's fucking crazy! Dysfuntion junction, anyone? What should I do? Because I honestly don't know. I jsut know that it's gone on long enough and gone way too far and that those 8 kids shouldn't be around all the crazy negative bizarre-ness. What should I do? And yes, I know that my mother is decently psychotic. Runs on her side of the family (Her mother is a bipolar, hypochrondriac pothead. Seriously). Sorry about the rambling vent-age. Don't really have friends to talk to that'll understand. Most of their parents are still together.
