A superbill is a detailed document that allows clients to bill their insurance company directly. It includes information similar to an insurance claim form, such as the date of the service provided, procedure codes and a total balance due.

What is a superbill? A superbill is a document that details healthcare items and services that were provided to a patient or client. Essentially, it is an itemized receipt that a patient can use to file an out-of-network claim with their insurance company.

The Superbill must contain the necessary information detailing the therapy session: The diagnostic code (DX), date(s) of service (DOS), and the fee for each service date.

Correct CPT codes (procedure codes) and the ICD 10 CM codes (diagnosis codes) must be present on the superbill. These codes provide the insurance payer information regarding the visit, and in their absence, payers can reject or deny the claim.

CPT code 90834 refers to a clinical 45 minute session and CPT code 90837 refers to a clinical 60 minute session (a clinical hour is typically 53 minutes to allow time for documentation) with a modifier (02) after the code to indicate services took place over teletherapy.

A superbill shows an itemized list of services that you have received from an out-of-network provider. It's like a detailed invoice or receipt. A therapist may provide you with a superbill — a specific document required by an insurance company — that allows you to seek reimbursement for an out-of-network provider.
