Understanding Superbills and Insurance Reimbursement:

What is a Superbill?

A superbill serves as a detailed receipt for your visit to a healthcare provider, containing essential information such as diagnosis and procedure codes. These codes are necessary for insurance companies to process your reimbursement after you've paid for the services. Essentially, a superbill is a comprehensive invoice that outlines the services you received.

In simpler terms, a superbill is a document that specifies the services provided by your therapist or healthcare provider. It is used to request reimbursement from your insurance company. You may need to request a superbill from your therapist to take advantage of your insurance plan's out-of-network benefits, allowing you to access a broader range of therapy options with reduced overall costs.

How Does Payment Work?

If you decide to work with Summit Therapy LLC, and request a superbill for therapy, our policy is to provide a superbill on a monthly basis. You can then submit this superbill to your insurance company. If your plan includes out-ofnetwork coverage, the amount you paid for services might either be applied to your deductible or reimbursed to you, usually via check. Reimbursement depends on your specific coverage, and therapists do not receive payment directly from insurance companies.

What Information is Included in a Superbill?

The superbill I provide will list the total charge for the services, the amount paid, and any balance due. If you've paid in full, I'll include a statement confirming this for the insurance company. Additionally, the superbill will contain detailed information about your visit, such as practice details, CPT codes, ICD-10 codes, and any referring doctors.

What Information is Included in a Superbill?

As your therapist, our role is to provide accurate information on the superbill to assist you. It is then your responsibility to work with your insurance company for reimbursement.

1. Obtain the Superbill:

Ask your therapist or healthcare provider if they offer superbills and request one. Ensure the superbill includes details like the date of service, procedure codes, total balance due, and your updated contact information, including your current home address and phone number.

2. Submit the Superbill to Your Insurance Company:

The submission process may vary depending on your insurance provider. You can typically submit the superbill by fax, mail, or through the insurance company’s online portal. If you're unsure about the process, contact your insurance provider for guidance.

3. Follow Up:

After submitting the superbill, it's important to follow up with your insurance company to confirm that your claim is being processed.

Keep in mind that the process for submitting superbills can vary greatly depending on your insurance company and healthcare provider, so it's a good idea to doublecheck any specific instructions they may have.

We hope this information helps! Navigating and maximizing your insurance benefits can be challenging. Our goal is to help you make informed decisions about your mental healthcare.
