Are you confident in your billing practices?

Learn how to bill

Hi, I'm Dr. Brandon Brown.

I'm a psychiatrist who works at a large outpatient group practice. I get paid by how many RVUs I generate. No one taught me how to bill properly in my training and I was afraid of audits and losing money, so I spent months researching billing to become a bit of an expert at psychiatric billing. As a result, I ended up getting a 5-figure RVU-based bonus, without working more and actually delivered better patient care. Join the free newsletter to learn how I did it!

The Psych BillSmart System

Are you 100% confident you’re billing correctly?
If not, you’re probably not being paid what you should be.

Learn how to bill with the
Psych BillSmart System

The system includes a self-paced, high-yield billing course that condenses everything you need to know about billing into eight 5-10 minute modules.

  1. The Fastest Path to More RVUs (and Income)

  2. How Psych Billing Actually Works

  3. Time vs Complexity

  4. New Patients, Follow-Ups, and Extended Evals

  5. Telepsychiatry and Asynchronous Billing

  6. How to Use Add-On Codes

  7. Documentation That’s Fast and Defensible

  8. How to schedule patients to optimize RVUs

  9. How to use the billing code generator and billing AI chatbot

It also includes a billing code generator web app. Just answer a few encounter questions and get the optimal billing codes everytime.

Brief Psychotherapy Mini-Course (Included)

Evidence-Based Psychotherapy Skills for Psychiatrists

  1. Supportive Therapy: Professional Empathic Listening

  2. Brief Cognitive-Behavior Therapy

  3. Behavioral Activation & Motivational Interviewing

  4. Smoking Cessation Counseling

  5. Psychotherapy Role-Playing Practice

Custom AI Billing Q&A Bot
(Included for 1 year)

AI chatbots like ChatGPT can answer billing questions but often times produce incorrect answers because they are not tuned to psychiatric billing scenarios and do not access up-to-date billing codes and regulations. You will get access to a customized GPT that will give you accurate answers to any of your billing questions.

Member-Only Billing Newsletter
(Included for 1 year)

Billing codes and rules change regularly. With your purchase you get added to our member-only newsletter to keep you up-to-date on billing practice changes and new opportunities to optimize your reimbursements.

Still not sure if this is for you? Take This 20-second Quiz:

  1. Are you billing psychotherapy add-on codes like 90833 for less than half your follow-ups?

  2. Do you use 99214 or higher for less than 75% of your eligible visits?

  3. Do you typically bill by time rather than by medical decision making (complexity)?

  4. Do you lack confidence in your brief psychotherapy skills?

  5. Are you unsure which codes maximize your pay?

If you said “yes” to 3 or more, you’re very likely not billing optimally and I’m confident my course and tools will be far more valuable to you than the price.

Ready to invest in yourself?

The Psych BillSmart System (billing course + brief psychotherapy course + billing code generator app + member-only newsletter) is in pre-sale with an early-bird price of $299.
