The Work at Home Scam Blog

A few years ago, medical billing jobs were supposedly all the rage. Every way you turned there were advertisements for medical billing classes. They promised you training, the necessary software, and job placement upon successful completion of training.

The companies behind all of that hype must have made a lot of people very angry, because the ads aren’t seen nearly as much these days. There were several catches to all the promises they made.

The training and software usually cost several hundred dollars. But the software was often out of date, and there was no guarantee that the offices you would be working for would even let you use that software. And the job placement? They would send you a list of medical offices to call and try to convince that they should hire you and let you work from home, with no indication whether they were even in need of personnel. Not a very effective way to get a job.

So if you do happen to see these types of advertisements for medical billing jobs, or any variation on them, run in the other direction.
