Superbills

A superbill is a detailed receipt that includes all the information your insurance company needs to process your claim. It contains:

The services you received (with specific medical codes).
The cost of each service.

You can submit this superbill directly to your insurance company for reimbursement.

Out of Network benefits: Many plans have out of network benefits that can be used.

"Do I have out-of-network benefits?"

"What documentation do you require for reimbursement?"
"Where do I send my Superbill?"
“Do I need a referral?”
