FAQ
What is a superbill and how does it differ from an invoice?
A superbill is an itemized receipt that a healthcare provider gives a patient for the services rendered. Unlike an ordinary invoice, it includes diagnosis and procedure codes, which is what allows the patient to submit it to their insurance company for out-of-network reimbursement directly after paying the provider.
What information must a superbill include?
A superbill needs the provider and patient details, the date of service, the diagnosis codes, the procedure or CPT codes, the fee for each service, and the provider's identifiers such as the NPI and tax ID. Together these let the insurer process and pay a reimbursement claim.
Who uses a superbill and why?
Therapists, chiropractors, and other out-of-network providers give superbills to patients who pay them directly and then seek reimbursement from their own insurer afterward. The coded receipt provides exactly the documentation that insurance companies require in order to evaluate and pay out an out-of-network claim properly.
