If I give my client a superbill  for reimbursement why does the insurance company require my EIN. I do not want them reporting any income to IRS.

  Hi Mark, EIN stands for Employer Identification Number, also called a Federal Tax Identification Number and is issued by the IRS. It could be described as a social security number for businesses and it identifies the healthcare provider who rendered the services. That's why it's required on Superbills.

  Shouldn't the NPI number be identification?

  Mark, the requirements of insurance payers vary - I'd recommend checking with payers directly to learn more about whether EIN is required on individual Superbills. Typically, it is.

  So we should put the EIN in the spot where it asks for Tax ID# in order to have it included on the superbill?

  Hi Amy, that's correct. Be sure to enter the EIN in the correct format (xx-xxxxx) so that SimplePractice recognizes it as an EIN. Future Superbills you create will include the EIN, and any past Superbills can be deleted and recreated to update them with the EIN.

  How do I get the EIN number to show up on Superbills? I have input the number correctly (and in the format Simple Praticce recognizes) but only my NPI and License number continue to show up.

  Hi There, did you add your Tax ID to Settings > Billing & Services? If not, you may've added your Tax ID in the Taxonomy Code field under Settings > Basic Info > Clinical Info instead. The Taxonomy Code is different from your Tax ID, so if you did this, please delete your Tax ID from this field and add it to Settings > Billing & Services. Then delete the Superbill and regenerate it so it has your Tax ID included. Here's a screenshot of how this will appear:
