I am wanting to start my own Medical Billing Service from home, but I don't know what all I need... licenses, permits do I have use a DBA or can I just use my name? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I am in Illinois if that matters.

Yes, state licences, a business number would be a good start but do you have any medical background in order to understand proper terminology in these fields;

Pathology Billing
Radiology Billing
Anesthesiology Billing
Pain Management Billing

Would you be billing for general practitioners and specialized physicians.

You have a lot to think about here before you even get down the licensing and permits.

Yes, I have fifteen+ years experience in the medical field 10 of those have been doing billing for specialists.

Janet, I did a search and came up with a website that tells you everything you need to know about starting a medical billing company but unfortunately the page cannot be accessed. You will have reach it by googling 'starting a medical billing business'. I read through the site and it seems to be quite comprehensive. Good luck !
