Claims Transit began as a billing center in December, 1989.
We were the first billing center to offer electronic claims
processing in our area. Since then, we have witnessed an
emerging, yet restless industry.Prior to 1992, as few as 8% of all claims were filed electronically.
Now, 75% are filed electronically. In the past years, many
people started a billing business with the idea of offering electronic
claims processing. The window of opportunity has just about come and
gone. The real service of this business is in meeting provider's needs
and that may be HIPAA consulting, working old, denied claims, and etc.
We've seen companies who offer MEDICAL BILLING BUSINESS
OPPORTUNITIES come and go. In fact, there have been just about
as many go as have come.

ObstaclesThe single most "biggest" hurdle established billers say is
getting that first account. It might be true for some people,
but not for Claims Transit. Our biggest problem was having
enough people to do all the work. We found timing to be a key
factor with regards to signing accounts.As long as we worked at it, we signed accounts. We found that our
income was only limited only by our desires.
No work . . . No money! Simple.
Work a lot . . . have money! Even more simple.
It didn't take long to realize, we had created a full fledged thriving
business. It's not because we "fell into it" or "got lucky". We
made our own way, stumbling often, but never making the
same mistake twice. Soon, word got around about our knowledge
and abilities.
Here's something to think about:
If you continue to think the way you always thought,
you'll continue to get what you always got!Software development companies began asking us to make video and audio
cassette tapes. We were contracted to write technical data on
claims filing. Business Opportunity Sellers were asking us to
teach them what we knew. Before we knew it, we were going in
several directions.
In 1992, we developed a claims cost comparison software
program. It figures the cost of filing claims on paper and
electronically. Within months, it seemed like every company in
the industry was copying our idea. Now, it's an industry
standard to have some form of cost analysis software.
We've been instrumental in the development of new products
and information available to the industry. We have always been
in a development mode, hoping to discover a newer or better way
of doing things. Making it easier for all of us to do our job .

Current Pathways
The Harder You Work, The More Opportunity Comes Your Way
The harder we worked at sharing information with others, the
more we realized the tremendous need that other small billers
had to network with others and the need to continuously learn
more.We exist today to help others just like us to learn how to comply with
industry regulations and to educate themselves so they may
operate ethically and professionally.
Along with the number of companies we've seen come and go, we've
also seen a number of billing centers come and go. No one can
guarantee your success. Only you can determine how much effort
you put into your new business. With good tools, good support
and training, and a willingness to learn, anyone can be
successful.

Medical Billing Association Becomes Reality
Over the past few years, there have been several people who have
started some sort of Medical Billing Association. However, all
of them have been self-serving. They were considered to be a
profit center -- not necessarily in favor of the members who
joined. What we found over and over were people only interested
in making money for themselves. Or, they were arrogant and
ignorant to small billers needs and only wanted to work with
billing companies that contract with hundreds of doctors.Because the needs of small billers are unique, we have founded the
American Medical Billing Association (AMBA). If you are
interested in joining AMBA, visit
AMBA's website.
