What is a Super Bill?

A superbill is a document made for insurance companies that details the services a therapist or health care provider performed for a client. Essentially, it’s a receipt for your visit to the doctor’s office, but unlike traditional receipts, superbills contain vital information, like diagnosis and procedure codes, needed for insurance payers to reimburse you for the services after you’ve paid. They’re different from regular medical bills in that insurers use them to pay patients rather than providers. Many insurers agree to cover 50 to 80% of the cost of out-of-network services like therapy through co-insurance payments. View: Our Guide to Your Super Bill
