1 MODEL SUPERBILL for AUDIOLOGY The following is a model of a superbill which could be used by an audiology practice when billing private health plans. This sample is not meant to dictate which services should or should not be listed on the bill. Most billable codes are from the American Medical Association (AMA) Current Procedural Terminology (CPT). Prosthetic and durable medical equipment codes, such as hearing aid codes, are published by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) as the Healthcare Common Procedure Code System (HCPCS). The superbill is a standard form which health plans use to process claims. For the professional rendering services, it provides a time efficient means to document services, fees, codes, and other information required by insurance companies, (i.e., certification and licensure). The patient uses this form to file for health plan payment. NOTE: This is only a model, therefore some procedures, codes, or other pertinent information may not be found on the following model. A complete list of audiology related codes is available in Coding & Billing for Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology, which is updated annually. You can purchase this product through ASHA s Online Store or by calling ASHA s Product Sales at More information on coding for audiology services can also be found on ASHA s billing and reimbursement website.
