What is a superbill?
A superbill is an itemized statement of healthcare services. In pediatric private practice, families often need one to seek out-of-network reimbursement or keep HSA/FSA records — even when you are not billing insurance directly.
What does a therapy superbill include?
- Rendering provider name, credentials, NPI, and tax ID
- Practice address and place of service code
- Patient name and date of birth
- Dates of service with CPT codes, units, and fees
- ICD-10 diagnosis codes
- Total amount and signature when required

Who creates the superbill?
Usually the treating clinician or their practice. Parents may request one for out-of-network benefits.
What fields matter most?
Provider identity (name, credentials, NPI, TIN), patient identifiers, dates of service, CPT codes with amounts, ICD-10 diagnoses, place of service, and signature when required.
