A Superbill is a detailed receipt of the services that you provided your patient.
The Superbill needs to include:
- Basics about your patient–like name, date of birth, address, phone number–and basics about your practice (e.g., your office address).
- Provider Information: This includes the doctor's name and NPI number.
- ICD-10 Code for the patient's diagnoses.
- CPT Codes: List all codes that correspond to the services you have provided your patient.
- Fees: List the associated charges for the services provided. (Always list your full usual and customary fees.)
- Payments: List any payments the patient made towards the services.
Here is an example for illustration purposes only.
Superbills provide all the information an insurance company needs to create a healthcare claim.
Patients who submit Superbills to their insurance companies can potentially get reimbursed for your services. Some practitioners even submit them on behalf of their patients. The important thing:
- Any reimbursement provided by an insurance company goes directly to the patient.
- So even when you submit a Superbill, you still collect payment from the patient generally before or during the time of service.
