This is a guide to starting your first medical billing encyclopedia article. We will show you how to create an article and explain some of the DOs and DON'Ts.
Medical Billing Wiki covers only subjects related to medical billing. If the topic is likely to be related to the billing industry in some way, go ahead; if you're unsure, or the article is about you or something you are closely connected to, you can ask an administrator by email at admin@medicalbilling.wiki.
 '''You can only create a new article once you've [[Special:CreateAccount|registered an account]] and verified your email.''' ( Need to change your email, do so in [[Special:Preferences|Preferences]]).  
Before starting on your new page, try editing existing articles to get a feel for writing and for using Medical Billing Wiki's mark-up language. Also search Medical Billing Wiki first in case an article already exists on the subject, perhaps under a different title.
