Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we break down why time-based billing might be hurting your practice, especially if you're a prescriber. Tom explains how using complexity-based billing (with E/M and psychotherapy add-on codes) can significantly improve patient reimbursement and reduce audit risk, even in cash-only practices. We also touch on how therapists can take advantage of interactive complexity codes, and why it's worth explaining this to patients.
