How can you write a SuperBill for an individual who purchases packaged sessions. Example: A standard 60 min session costs $145. Patient buys 8 session package at $135 each (total $1080). How do you write a SuperBill for a individual session totaling $135 without changing the fee schedule for the individual CPT codes that were used on the standard session at $145?
Everything would be the same as a normal Superbill except that you would have a line item discount underneath each date of service showing the $10 discount per session. Alternatively, if you’re a point of sale system makes the above difficult or impossible, you can apply a single line item discount to the subtotal. Ex: let’s say you are providing them a super bill with three of the dates of service… Each date of service would have the CPT codes that add up to $145, the subtotal would equal $435, and a “package discount“ line item discount under the subtotal for $30, leaving the total charges for that super bill at $405
This video was so helpful!! I have a question about patient discounts. My clinic offers time of service discounts and need based discounts, so do I need to list the original total and subtract those discounts on the superbill? Or can I just list the discounted price as the total without showing any of the math it took to get there?
Yes, you would always list your full price per CPT code on the superbill date of service, then below you can add line item discounts to bring the total down to what you actually charged them. It’s great that you’re providing various discounts to accommodate your patients’ needs! When it comes to listing prices on the superbill, it’s important to ensure clarity and compliance with any applicable laws and insurance policies. Typically, it is best to list the original total of the services provided on the superbill and then show any discounts applied, such as your time of service or need-based discounts. This method provides a clear and transparent breakdown of how the final price was determined. It can be especially helpful in case the bill is submitted to insurance companies or used for tax deductions by the patient, as some insurers or agencies might require a detailed account of any discounts given. Listing the original charge along with the discounts applied not only helps maintain transparency but also ensures that your practice is aligned with the best billing practices, avoiding any potential issues down the line. Keep up the good work in managing your practice thoughtfully and effectively! If you have further questions or need assistance with specific billing policies, feel free to ask. Your proactive approach is key to running a successful clinic.
