Every year, hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical billing errors would go undetected by consumers, insurance companies, and businesses if it weren’t for advocates like the members of Medical Billing Advocates of America .

As a trained advocate, supported by our association, you, too, can run your own business giving a helping hand to those who need a helping hand.

Some errors are so outrageous they’re amusing to read about—unless they appear on your own bill. Imagine being billed for circumcision of your baby girl. Or a man charged for time in the labor/delivery room. Or a $400 charge for something simply listed as “unknown” or “miscellaneous.”

The overcharges are as disturbing as the incorrect billings: a $57 teddy bear listed as a cough support device; an $11.20 box of tissues called a disposable mucous recovery system; a $15 plastic bag of ice listed as thermal therapy. And perhaps most astounding of all, a toothbrush billed at $1,004.50. Insurance companies paid for all these errors, yet we’ve seen claims for heart surgery rejected for no justifiable reason.

As an independent medical billing advocate, you find and recover thousands of dollars in errors and overcharges in clients’ bills. You hold insurance companies accountable for policy coverage they collect large premiums for. Your client saves money, and you keep part of the savings for a job well done.

This home-based business opportunity can be as big as you like. We have successful full-time and part-time advocates. We have advocates in specialized fields: provider billing, facility billing, insurance reimbursement and more. MBAA refers clients to advocates who are experts in correcting the client’s unique problems, and also bring together teams of experts for large projects. MBAA membership provides additional benefits to its members, which you can read about here.

 We hope you’ll take the time to read all about the ways MBAA can help you launch your exciting new career as a consumer advocate. Click on the links on the right to find out more, or contact us today for more information.
