Superbill generator
A superbill is a receipt, not a claim: the patient paid you, and this is the document they send their insurer to try to get some of it back. It fails on missing identifiers far more often than on the clinical content.
Total charged
$285.00
Paid in full by the patient. This document is a receipt for reimbursement, not a claim.
A superbill is not a claim
You are not billing anyone. The patient has already paid; the superbill lets them ask their plan for out-of-network reimbursement. That difference matters in two practical ways: the document has to be readable by a person, and it has to carry every identifier the plan will key on — because you are not there to answer a rejection.
Give it to them in the room
A superbill printed at checkout is submitted. One promised by email at the end of the month is submitted about half as often. The print button here exists for that reason.
The lines that get queried
Two patterns cause most of the follow-up calls. The first is a diagnosis that does not plausibly support the procedure — a cervical code with a lumbar diagnosis, usually a copy-paste. The second is units that do not match the minutes, which is the same arithmetic the units calculator does; a cash patient’s plan applies the same table.
Set your fee before you print
The number on the superbill is what the patient paid, so it needs to be a number you can defend and repeat. Work it out from your own overhead rather than from a competitor’s website — the visit fee calculator does that from room time, overhead and a target margin.
Red flag — refer out
If a patient is paying cash because they have been turned down elsewhere for a presentation that keeps worsening, the money question is the least interesting one in the room. Refer.
