ISO 900 Biz Information.....
I am not quite clear on this, are you looking for a company which will
help you get certified or are you looking for a vendor that has been
certified? I believe it is the first, but unsure. If it is the first, I
could probably find some information for you. It would take a few days,
but could find out.

Assuming you've got access to the www, try a search for them by entering
a search with your browser for: ISO 9000, they do, or at least did
maintain a web page where I'm sure your questions could be answered.  I
hooked up with them a year or so back when my wife's company was getting
certified. Good luck!

   It is over-done and over saturated.  Anyone who has had a modicum
of success finding employment doing same has done so years ago.
   One way to find if there is still a niche for you in the local
market is to canvass local doctors, etal, _IF_ they will even talk to
you.  Always research the marketplace prior to investing a penny.
   BTW, from everything I hear the software some of these folks try to
peddle is overpriced and not always compatible with most insurers
needs.
   Good Luck

assistant: Dick...  good advice in general, but I believe you are confusing Leah's plan
to transcribe medical reports with the old "Make a Million Bucks Doing
Medical Billing at Home" schemes.
Those, IMHO, were merely scams to sell worthless software to ignorant people.
Transcription can be done using any word processor really... intense
knoqwledge of macro usage is a real benefit though. ;D

Anything that is racial should be offensive to everyone. The world seems to
e
getting smaller and with the educational skills and available information any
racial slurrs cannot be tolerated in society. If we still cannot live in
harmony, then we never should comment about the problems and how to solve
hem
that happen in other countries. North American countries always seem to have
the answer on how to cure the problems of the world but why can't we solve
ur
own problems especially racial problems.
