If you don't have any experience working in a doctor's office, consider your connections. Your resume may only take you so far, so network to see if you can get your foot in the door by who you know. Start with your immediate friends and family and ask if they know anyone who works in a medical office.
What's Medicare? Medicare is the federal health insurance program for people who are 65 or older, certain younger people with disabilities, and people with End-Stage Renal Disease (permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or a transplant, sometimes called ESRD).
Medicare, the federal governmentâs health insurance program for the elderly, now covers more than 40 million American age 65 or older. In 2011, Medicare spending reached approximately $554 billion, or about 15 percent of the federal budget. The program is funded by a 2.9 percent payroll tax paid by employers and employees, monthly premiums paid by enrollees, and the U.S. Treasury.
