Hiring a Medical Biller

I am looking to "hire" a medical biller to bill insurance for my practice. I am a one man show and I work from home. Has anyone had a similar experience hiring someone to do the billing and has it been a good thing? Worth it?See More

"Hi Trina, I believe Swedish massage would suffice, but still consult with your client's health care provider to be on the safe side. Knowing her numbers is an excellent idea. Keep up the good work."

Bamboo-fusion is an excellent treatment for use with deep tissue and medical massage.  My practice is more focused towards medically based massage as well. Nathalie and Karen are very quick to respond to emails and/or phone calls, so if you check the main website at www.bamboo-fusion.com, it will have the contact information for you to gain more information from them.  I do feel that people are truly drawn towards specific techniques and instructors. I don't know anything about any bamboo treatments that were "developed" after Bamboo-fusion, so I will not speak about those.  I only know that we offer an excellent training program with excellent tools. And we stand behind both 100%. True integrity is demonstrated throughout our company.  I am sure you will enjoy the work and it will benefit your business. Regardless of which technique you go with, I hope you enjoy your training and your body benefits from the tools.

Hello Trina, I truly love Bamboo-fusion.  It makes the work so much easier on my body and the clients love it.  I incorporate it into all of my sessions unless they are contraindicated for heat and/or pressure.  You can look on the main website at www.bamboo-fusion.com for a therapist in your area.  I'm sure if you experience the work, you will want to learn it.  They are so easy to clean after each client and very portable for outcalls also.
