While the neuromodulation equipment used in the MeRTSM process has been cleared by the FDA in the treatment of Major Depression Disorder, it may also be used off label for other disorders in the practice of medicine. These include Traumatic Brain Injury and other brain trauma, PTSD, ADHD, Learning Disorders, Autism, Stroke, Dementia, Parkinsons, OCD, Hyper-anxiety and other brain disorders.
You can read about many of these conditions in more detail.

When many patients come to see us, they have lost hope as they don’t see any light at the end of the tunnel. It’s rewarding as a practitioner to be able to help so many people realize a much better “normal” and a greatly improved quality of life.
If you have questions or would like to discuss our Treatment Protocols, we offer a Free Consultation by phone. Our New Patient Coordinator will take the time to listen and explain. She is able to answer most questions and discuss our protocols, scheduling, fees and other information. She is happy to assist you in any way she can.
Please call us to get more information about how our clinic and Dr. Miller may be able to help you with your health goals and to schedule an an initial screening to see if MeRT may be an option.
Insurance Coverage
Unfortunately, we do not accept insurance, nor file it on your behalf. However, we can provide you with CPT codes and a billing breakdown that you may submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement for conditions that have been FDA-approved such as Major Depressive Disorder and OCD. On occasion, individuals have been successful in receiving reimbursement for EEGs and clinical evaluations, and possibly other elements for treatment, depending on the individual’s coverage. It has been our experience that Medicare does not reimburse any of the treatment costs.
For conditions other than Major Depressive Disorder and OCD, because treatment is considered “off label,” insurance rarely reimburses any of the costs associated with treatment.
Starting as a New Patient
When you start as a new patient at the Brain Treatment Center Dallas, you will initially need two appointments, approximately two days apart. Both appointments will be about an hour in length. These appointments will be used to determine if Dr. Miller feels you can truly benefit from the MeRTSM [Magnetic e-Resonance Treatment] Program and, if so, to develop a tailored treatment plan based on your test results. Once you have done the testing and Consultation, you are not obliged to begin treatment. This is something that you will determine once you have seen your test results and consulted with Dr. Miller.
At the first appointment, we will go over your reasons for seeking help, your medical history, your health goals, and all of your symptoms. You will then begin initial testing, which will involve an EEG and an EKG. These are both completely painless and easy and are done right in our office. Your information and test results are then sent over to our scientific and clinical teams, who will carefully analyze the results and determine current state and functioning of the brain together with Dr. Miller.
We use a patented, scientific approach with the neurophysiological data gathered through testing to then develop a highly customized treatment plan that is aimed at encouraging healthy brain communication and function.
At your second appointment, you will meet with Dr. Miller for a Consultation. He will discuss your test results and whether or not he and our scientific team feel that results may be achieved for you through our treatment protocol. This appointment will also serve to answer any additional questions you may have. After that second appointment, Dr. Miller will lay out your individualized treatment plan and the protocols to be followed for best results. At that point you may discuss fees, length of treatment and schedules, and then decide whether to go forward and schedule your treatment.
Protocol Adjustments for the Safety of our Patients and Staff
The Brain Treatment Center – Dallas is remaining open for business, however, for the safety of our patients and our staff, we are implementing the following procedures effective immediately:
- We kindly ask that if you are sick or experiencing any symptoms of illness, that you postpone your visit to The Brain Treatment Center until a time when you have been symptom-free for at least 14 days.
- We are unable to see any international patients until you are able to show proof that you have been in the country for at least 14 days. A passport stamp showing the date that you arrived, or a letter from your hotel will be considered acceptable proof.
- We ask that you do not bring anyone with you to your appointment, unless you are a parent accompanying your child for treatment.
- Our office will only see one patient at a time so that there is no physical contact between patients throughout the course of the day.
- Our staff will sterilize the clinic after each patient departs so that the next patient coming in will be entering in to a sterile environment.
- We ask that if you arrive early for your appointment, that you wait in your car until your designated appointment time, versus sitting in the waiting room.
- Dr. Miller is is able to provide you with a “virtual” consultation via Spruce or Skype, both of which are HIPPA compliant, and can be done from the comfort of your own home.
We value our patients, and want to make sure that you are still able to receive your treatment in a timely manner, we ask that you please adhere to the temporary procedures that we have implemented for your safety and for our staff’s safety. Once we receive clearance from the CDC, we will return to business as usual.
