Any doctors? Business questions?

[JohnnyVegas]

My wife owns a consulting (accounting, book keeping, payroll, etc.) firm that wants to expand into the medical industry. Anyone have a few minutes to answer a few business questions via PM? Or here if there is no need for privacy.

On a broad scale I wonder what services doctors use contractors for other than the typical accounting, billing, insurance claims, etc. I am trying to find out what training their employees will need, or what new people will need to be hired.

I know this forum seems a strange place to ask, but I got the impression there were a handful of doctors here...or at least some people that work in the industry.

Any help would be great.

I've been in the medical field for quite some time, the majority on the sales/business end, some on the healthcare policy end, and most recently have moved into direct patient care. Feel free to shoot me a PM.

Thanks. I am checking in while stopped at a red light, so I will put together some fast questions later today and send a PM in the morning.

A big thanks to anyone willing to give me some feedback.

I sent a PM with a few general and vague questions that will point me in the right direction. I am suffering from, "you don't know what you don't know" syndrome at this point.

Agreed. Currently, they are looking to expand from general business services to some medical-specific services such as medical billing and claims management, which is what I am trying to get some insight on.
