For private-practice IBCLCs: hand exhausted new parents a clean, itemized superbill they can actually submit — without spending your evening formatting a Word doc between home visits.
Your clients are days or weeks postpartum. They paid you out of pocket for a home or office consult, someone told them "your insurance might reimburse lactation visits — ask for a superbill," and now there's a 2 a.m. message in your inbox asking for one. They don't know what a superbill is. You do — and you also know that producing one means digging out your template, entering the visit details, remembering whether this insurer wants the baby listed as the patient or the parent, adding your license and NPI, fixing the formatting, and exporting a PDF while your next consult is loading.
Lactation superbills have a genuinely tricky wrinkle other professions don't: the mother–baby pair. Depending on the situation and the plan, services may be documented under the parent, the infant, or both, and the person filing the claim is a sleep-deprived new parent who will not tolerate a confusing document. Your superbill needs to make it easy for them.
A submission-ready IBCLC superbill generally includes: your name and credentials (IBCLC, plus RN or other licensure if applicable), NPI if you have one, tax ID, and practice details; the client block — with room to identify the parent and the infant, including the infant's date of birth; and per visit: date of service, a description (initial consult, follow-up, home visit), the service code you bill, diagnosis code(s), your fee, and what was paid — with totals and your signature.
In SuperQuick Bill, the client block gives you room to document the pair — parent and infant names and the relevant dates of birth, however the payer wants them listed — and it produces a black-on-white PDF headed "SUPERBILL — Statement for Insurance Reimbursement" — a document that looks like it came from a professional practice, because it did.
Coding for lactation services is famously inconsistent across payers, which is exactly why we never prefill or suggest codes. A tool that guessed at lactation codes would be wrong often enough to cost your clients real money. Instead: you enter the codes you bill under, we save them in your browser for next time, and we link to free official sources — the CMS ICD-10-CM code files and your professional association's payer and billing resources — so you can verify them for your situation. Codes entered by provider. Verify with your biller. Not medical or billing advice.
| Word/PDF template | SuperQuick Bill | |
|---|---|---|
| Parent + infant on the document | Rarely included; you improvise per insurer | Room for both in the client block |
| Repeat requests | Re-edit the file each time, at whatever hour the message arrives | Your practice details and codes are saved in your browser; enter the visit and download |
| Look and feel | Depends on your Word skills | Consistent, professional PDF every time |
| Totals | Manual | Computed for you |
| Cost | Free | Free during early access |
Straight talk: if you do a handful of consults a year, a static template is fine. If superbill requests are part of every week — and in private lactation practice they usually are — the generator pays for itself in saved evenings.
Everything you enter — parent names, infant names and birth dates, visit details — is stored only in your browser (localStorage) by default and is never sent to a server. We make no HIPAA-compliance claims; many cash-pay solo IBCLCs are not covered entities, but that determination is for your own compliance advisor. What we can state as fact: our default architecture stores nothing server-side. Details in the Privacy Policy.
