Thoroughly review the superbill before finalizing

Before completing the superbill, check the following details carefully:

  • The CPT code matches the service performed. For example, confirm that "97810" corresponds to "Acupuncture, 1 or more needles; without electrical stimulation, initial 15 minutes of personal one-on-one contact with the patient."
  • The diagnosis code (for example, "G47.00 – Insomnia, unspecified") is accurate and aligns with your clinical documentation.
  • The session fee (for example, $100) is correct and current.
  • All required information is present and spelled correctly, including client name, provider details, and service descriptions.

Address any inconsistencies before proceeding, since small errors can lead to claim denials or additional back-and-forth for your client.
