Sorry I don't know a company with that sort of work, but I finally found one that is legit myself. I'm with Stayin Home and Lovin It! and they are partnered with a wellness company that is 21 years old and in good standing with the Better Business Buerau. It's no get rich quick thing but it has the potential of becoming a full income. There is no selling door to door, no big investment, and no risk to try it for a couple of months. I'm not a mom, I have health problems that prevent me from working outside the home, but the woman who brought me to this company has 2 little ones and loves this and is doing very well. She has been doing it for 3 years now. If you would like more information go to http://healthybetterme.com
As far as being scamed, I was a lot too, then I started to look up every company on http://search.bbb.org/ by name, address, or url. And if you can't find out anything about the company there I wouldn't risk it. Good Luck!!

I haven't seen any medicare claims jobs. Have you done that in the past? If so, contact your former employer to see if you either telecommute or freelance.

However work at home jobs are hard to find. Technical, phone work or writing jobs are the most common legit ones. You may want to check out some job leads at http://wahjobs.blogspot.com Plus there is a listing of companies that regularly hire telecommuters

Medicare claims are processed by non-government organizations or agencies that contract to serve as the fiscal agent between providers (hospitals, doctors, and other health care providers) and the Federal Government. These claims processors are known as "intermediaries" and "carriers." They apply Medicare coverage rules to determine the appropriateness of claims.

Medicare "intermediaries" process Part A claims (Hospital Insurance) for institutional services, including inpatient hospital claims, skilled nursing facilities, home health care agencies, and hospice services. They also process hospital outpatient claims for Part B. Examples of intermediaries include Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association, and other commercial insurance companies.

Intermediaries are responsible for:

* Determining costs and reimbursement amounts
* Maintaining records
* Establishing controls
* Safeguarding against fraud and abuse or excess use
* Conducting reviews and audits
* Making the payments to providers for services
* Assisting both providers and beneficiaries as needed

Medicare carriers also handle Part B claims for services by physicians and medical suppliers. Their responsibilities include:

* Determining charges allowed by Medicare
* Maintaining quality of performance records
* Assisting in fraud and abuse investigation
* Assisting both suppliers and beneficiaries as needed
* Making payments to physicians and suppliers for services that are covered under Part B

In order to bill Medicare for services, a physician provider number is required. If you have previously moonlighted, you may already have your Medicare provider number; this federal identification number never changes once it is assigned to you. Once you have secured your provider number, this automatically initiates the Unique Physician Identification Number (UPIN) process. Each provider receives only one UPIN. The State Survey Agency http://cms.hhs.gov/clia/ssa-map.asp most often supplies the Medicare and Medicaid provider numbers to new physicians. For information about other paperwork that needs to be completed before beginning your practice, see "Completing the Important Practice Paperwork". http://www.acponline.org/counseling/practice_paperwork.htm

Peer Review Organizations (PROs) are groups of practicing health care professionals who are paid by the Federal government to do the general overview of the care provided to Medicare beneficiaries in each state, and to improve the quality of services. PROs act to educate and assist in the promotion of effective, efficient, and economical health care delivery of health services to the Medicare population they serve.
