Manually Enter a Superbill

Version 20.3
Path: Clinical, Practice Management, or Billing tab > Patient Chart button > Charges > New Superbill button
Path: Clinical tab > Superbill button > Charges > New Superbill button

Overview

Superbill charges are automatically passed from the clinical team as they complete their documentation; however, it may be necessary to manually enter superbill charges. If a user find that they are repeatedly entering the same charges, they may consider creating a Superbill Template to streamline the process.

Manually Enter Superbill Charges

  1. Navigate to the Superbill- Pending Procedures window by following one of the paths above. If you have not yet searched for and selected a patient, you will need to do so before proceeding. The patient's name is displayed at the top of the window.

  • Assist by: This is the staff member who assisted during encounter (optional).
  • Render by: This is a required field and indicates the provider who rendered services.
  • Supervisor: This field is only required when the Rendering provider requires a Supervising provider. 
  • Bill patient all charges: Select this checkbox if all charges are the patient's responsibility and should not be sent to the insurance.
  • Service Date: This date defaults to the current date. It may be changed to a prior date in case of back entry.
  1. In the Diagnosis section of the window, click the Add button  to add a diagnosis code.
  2. Search for and select the diagnosis code(s):
  1. Click in the blank ICD-10 Description field or the ICD-10 field. 
  2. Entering a description (in the Description field) or the code (in the ICD-10 field).

NoteIf the same CPT code should be billed twice for a medication, but the NDC ID differs for the two instances of the code, you must manually enter the NDC ID that is not housed in the CPT code table for that particular CPT.

  1. Confirm the correct DX 1-DX 4 fields are populated for each CPT code.
  2. Edit the following fields, if necessary:
  • Units
  • Bill Pt
  • EPSDT
  • EP Ref
  • POS
  • NDC ID 

NoteThe NDC ID field in this form will be blank. If you are entering the CPT code for a vaccine whose NDC ID would normally be pulled from the Vaccine Inventory, you must manually enter the NDC ID when entering superbill charges. If you are entering a medication CPT code whose NDC ID is housed in the CPT Code Table, you will see that ID populated on the claim once the charges have been converted (not in the Add/Edit Charges window).
