Super-Bill Submission
What is a Super-Bill?
The Super-Bill Submission Process
Creation: During or immediately after a patient visit, the healthcare provider completes the super-bill, accurately documenting all services provided and diagnoses made.
Verification: The super-bill is reviewed for accuracy and completeness, ensuring that all necessary information and codes are included.
Submission: The verified super-bill is submitted to the medical billing department or service, where it is used to generate claims for insurance reimbursement.
Claims Generation: Using the information from the super-bill, claims are created and submitted to insurance companies for payment. This process involves entering the data into billing software and ensuring compliance with payer requirements.
Follow-Up: Once the claims are submitted, the billing department monitors their status, addressing any denials or rejections, and ensuring that payments are received.
