Hall began to search for a business opportunity that would utilize her computer and customer service skills. She discovered in the late 1990s that automated medical billing enabled medical service providers to submit their claims to insurance companies electronically, thereby eliminating their dependence on the mail and improving their cash flow by receiving their payments quickly. Many medical practitioners, although, were not taking advantage of this revolutionary technique due to the high cost of the software needed. Jeanne decided to make the investment in the necessary software, offer her services to the medical community, and in 1999 founded Blue Sky Automated Billing.
