What is a Superbill?

How to Check Your Insurance Benefits

Before submitting a superbill, contact your insurance company. You can usually find the customer service number on the back of your insurance card.

Some important questions to ask are:

  • Do I have out-of-network mental health benefits?

  • Are services provided by an associate level clinician eligible for reimbursement?

  • What percentage or amount is reimbursed?

  • Is there a deductive I must meet first?

  • Is there a deadline for submitting claims?

  • Do I need a specific claim form?

Know the Limitations

Be aware:

  • Insurance companies do not always reimburse for services provided by an associate-level clinician, even with a superbill. It is important to ask this question when verifying your out-of-pocket mental health benefits.

  • Reimbursement amounts can vary widely.

  • Your therapist cannot communicate with insurance on your behalf.

A superbill is essentially an itemized receipt for services you have already paid for. It includes information your insurance company may need if you choose to request out-of-network reimbursement.

Important to Know:

  • A superbill does not guarantee reimbursement.

  • Reimbursement depends entirely on your insurance plan.

  • You (the client) are responsible for submitting the superbill to insurance.

Receiving Your Superbill

You can request superbills to be sent out after each appointment or monthly.

Your superbill will include:

  • Date(s) of service

  • Type of therapy provided

  • Diagnosis code (required by insurance)

  • Fees paid

  • Provider information and possibly supervisor information

What To Do After Receiving Your Superbill

If your insurance company requires a specific claim form, you will need to have that along with the superbill when submitting. Some insurances claim forms can be found on your insurance portal or you can request it by phone. Then you will submit the superbill to your insurance. Every insurance is different but can be offered by online portal, mail, or fax.

It is highly recommended to keep everything for your records.

Reimbursement

Processing times for insurance reimbursement can vary. It may take several weeks for insurance to respond to your claim.

After reviewing the claim your insurance company may:

  • Send reimbursement directly to you or

  • Send an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) or

  • Request additional information.

If your claim is denied you can:

  • Contact your insurance company for clarification

  • Ask if the claim can be appealed

Do I Have to Use Thrizer?


Absolutely not! You are always welcome to apply for the sliding scale or pay for services out-of-pocket and have the option to send the superbill to your insurance if you’d like.

I’m happy to discuss which option feels best for you.

Using Thrizer

I use Thrizer, a payment platform designed to make out-of-network (OON) therapy more accessible and affordable. It allows clients to pay only their copay upfront rather than paying full session costs at the time of service.

Thrizer helps you successfully navigate your out-of-network benefits, saving you thousands on therapy and all the insurance headache.

How it Works


With Thrizer, they instantly check if you have out-of-network benefits and can give an estimate without having to call your insurance. You can get an estimate with widget to the left.

Instead of paying the full session fee upfront, you’ll only pay your estimated co-insurance or co-pay amount and small processing fee. Thrizer submits the claim to your insurance company on your behalf, and handles the whole process, including any back-and-forth with your insurance company.

Please note that reimbursement amounts are ultimately determined by your insurance company, and benefit estimates are not a guarantee of payment.
