At Rupa Health, we provide you with an itemized receipt and Superbill for your lab testing through email that can be easily submitted to insurance for reimbursement. You must wait until your results are in to submit your Superbill to your insurance provider.
🙏 Important detail: Unfortunately, Superbills are not available for orders placed using Physician Services. We are so sorry for any inconvenience here!
This is a standard Superbill for ordered tests based on the most common information for superbills. You are not required to submit a Superbill to insurance and you are also not required to use the provided Superbill or template below upon submission.
What is a Superbill?
A Superbill is an itemized receipt of services a client can submit to insurance after payment and services have been performed. Insurance reimbursement is made at the discretion of the insurance provider based on information provided in the Superbill. The Superbill you receive is not a guarantee of coverage or a guarantee of payment for lab testing.
For orders before September 22, you will receive an email that contains links to the downloadable receipt & downloadable Superbill for that order. If your order was after this date our team is happy to send you a template to fill out.
Key components of a Superbill include:
Client Information
ICD-10 Code(s): These are 3-digit diagnosis codes that correspond to the lab testing you completed. There may be just one or there may be multiple. Your practitioner may have given Rupa these codes when they placed your order.
CPT Code(s): These are the billing codes associated with your lab test. Lab companies provide these codes for each eligible test offered.
Test Information: This information includes the name of the test, the price of the test, and the price paid for the test.
When and how will I get a Superbill?
Upon payment of your order, you will receive an email that contains links to the downloadable receipt & downloadable Superbill for that order. However, you must wait until your results are in to submit your Superbill to your insurance provider.
If you used a payment plan to pay for your order, you can receive a copy of your Superbill upon complete payment of tests. If you don't see it after making your last payment, send us a note via your Patient Portal to receive your Superbill!
Note: if your practitioner paid for this order, you will not receive a Superbill. Reach out to your practitioner directly to understand the insurance options available.
What do I do with a Superbill?
Great question! Reach out to your insurance provider to understand their reimbursement process and required documentation. Usually, you will have to follow a reimbursement submission process, which typically requires submitting a Superbill and itemized receipt after your test results are in. Rupa Health does not handle any reimbursement inquiries and does not provide reimbursement advice.
It is possible that the Superbill provided will not have all the information required for submission.
CPT Code table:
Code(s) appear: This is great! The lab provided CPT codes and this section is complete.
Blank: This means the lab company did not provide CPT codes to Rupa Health. You can search on the lab website or reach out to the Rupa Health Support Team by logging into your Patient Portal for assistance.
‘Medicare’: This means Medicare was applied for payment of the test.
‘Not Eligible’: This means the test is ineligible for insurance.
What if I used a coupon or Medicare?
Your Superbill will reflect the amount of paid for each lab test in your order! It will take into account any medicare pricing or coupons applied to tests. For tests paid for with Medicare and ineligible tests, be aware that no prices will appear, as they cannot be submitted for reimbursement.
Can I submit a Superbill for every order?
Reach out to your insurance provider for any specific questions about the eligibility of orders and tests!
