A Super Bill is an itemized bill that gathers the charges from a visit, along with billing codes, diagnoses, provider details, and the patient’s insurance, into one document the patient can submit to their insurer for out-of-network reimbursement.
Prerequisites: Super Bills fill in faster when you record the patient’s insurance on their chart and set default billing codes on your services. Both are optional — you can also enter everything by hand.

​
Build a Super Bill from a Visit

Open the patient’s chart and go to the Billing tab. In the Super Bills section, click Construct Super Bill.
1

Pick the charges

Select the charges from the visit you want to bill. Turn on Include other recent charges to add charges from the patient’s recent history.
2

Add insurance

Choose the patient’s insurance, or leave it as No insurance selected (self-pay). You can add insurance details here if none are on file.
3

Construct

Click Construct. Decoda creates the Super Bill and opens it in the editor.

​
Edit the Super Bill

The editor lets you review and complete everything an insurer needs. For each billed item you can set:
  • CPT/HCPCS billing code and any Modifier(s)
  • ICD-10 Diagnoses for the visit
  • Rendering Provider, Billing Provider, and Place of Service
If a service has default billing codes, its CPT, modifier, and diagnosis fields are pre-filled — you only adjust what’s different. The editor also shows the Primary Payer, Plan Name, Coverage Type, and Claims Address, pulled from the patient’s insurance on file. Add Notes for the patient or payer if needed.

​
Send or Print

When the Super Bill is ready:
  • Click Print / Save PDF to print it or save a copy.
  • Click Email to send it to the patient. The bill goes to the patient’s email address on file.
If the patient has no email on file, the send option is disabled. Add an email on the patient chart first.
