We know what it's like to be ready for more from life, but not how to get there. For the past 30 years, we’ve helped thousands of people just like you overcome bad jobs and the status quo and claim the work/life balance they deserve.

We were tired of the status quo once, too, which is why we started our medical billing journey in 1987 before launching ABS in 1994.

Linda Phillips

Co-Founder

Linda is the "real" founder of American Business Systems. In 1987, while home schooling her two children, a friend who owned a durable medical equipment company asked her if she could process his medical claims. She told him she had never done medical billing, but she was sure she could figure it out. A week later, she was typing up his claims and mailing them to the insurance companies for payment.

Within two years, she and Patrick had built the company to a six-figure income, still working out of their home. Then, by 1994, they had developed a turnkey medical billing training program and began to license others to do medical billing. Linda continues to work in the business, although she no longer does the actual billing. She now spends time in community projects, as well as spending time traveling with Patrick and babysitting her four grandchildren: Ezekiel, Lia, Jonas and Olivia.
