superbill
Medical billing document
A superbill is an itemized form healthcare providers give patients after a visit, listing diagnoses, procedures, and costs with standardized codes.
Patients submit superbills to insurance companies for reimbursement when paying out of pocket: My therapist doesn't take insurance, so she gives me a superbill to file claims myself.
The document bridges provider billing and insurance processing.
