## What it takes off your hands

eleven hours every week.

- Chapter 4 — Templates, treatment-plan language, practice paperwork (~2.5 hours)
- Chapter 5 — Inquiry replies, policy messages, the hard emails (~2 hours)
- Chapter 6 — Superbill explanations, appeals, balance chasing (~2 hours)
- Chapter 7 — Referral letters, profiles, professional visibility (~1.5 hours)
- Chapter 8 — Handouts, worksheets, group curricula, reading piles (~1.5 hours)
- Chapter 9 — The marketing you keep putting off (~1.5 hours)

That’s eleven hours in a normal week. Your first week will be slower — you’re learning a tool. By week three, the numbers above are realistic. Chapter 12 gives you the 30-day plan to get there.

## Questions

**Do I need to pay for ChatGPT or Claude to use this book?**

Not yet. Free tiers of both tools carry you through this book’s TRY IT NOW exercises and your first weeks of real use. You’ll know it’s time to pay (about $20/month) when you hit daily limits during a normal workday — that’s the signal the tool is earning its keep. Chapter 11 covers what the money buys.

**Is this book going to tell me AI is coming for my job?**

No. It takes the opposite position, and says so on page one: it is a good tool for words, it does not do your job, it does the writing around your job. The book's own last line on it is “This book will not tell you AI is magic — it’s a power tool, it kicks, and we’ll show you where. And this book will never ask you to put a client anywhere near a chat window. The line runs through every page: AI for the business of your practice. Never for the content of your sessions. Chapter 10 explains exactly where that line sits and why.” You can read the whole opening, The Hour After Your Last Client, free: 2,167 words, no sign-up.

**What is actually in the 150 prompts?**

Eight groups: Setup & Voice (1–15), The Paperwork Mountain (16–40), Client-Facing Communication (41–65), Money — Private Pay & Insurance (66–85), Referrals & Professional Standing (86–105), Clinical-Adjacent Creation (106–120), Ethical Marketing (121–145), Admin & Momentum (146–150). Every title is listed free on the prompt page, and twelve of the prompts are printed there in full.

**I have never used AI at work. Is this too advanced?**

It assumes nothing. Chapter 2 is “The 30-Minute Setup” and Chapter 3 is “How to Talk to It” — the tool is set up and the one real skill is taught before anything else is asked of you. The glossary at the back explains every term the book uses.

**How long is it?**

It is about 30,341 words across 12 chapters, plus the 150-prompt library and the glossary; the audiobook runs 2h 31m across 20 tracks, measured from the masters on 2026-08-31. Chapters 1–3 take about an hour and everything else depends on them.

**What do I actually get, and how is it delivered?**

Ebook at $7.99 and Audiobook at $14.99. Both are downloads and arrive the moment you pay — the EPUB has no DRM, so it is yours on any reader. Ebook ISBN 979-8-90623-455-1; Audiobook ISBN 979-8-90623-456-8. There is no printed edition of this one yet.
