Connecticut therapist superbill generator

Connecticut superbill and invoice for LPC, LCSW, LMFT, and psychologists

This page is the same Therapist Invoice Generator generator with Connecticut selected. Out-of-network clients still need a superbill with your NPI, tax ID, Connecticut license number, CPT codes, ICD-10 diagnoses, place of service, and fees. Private-pay clients usually need a simpler invoice — toggle the document type above.

License titles used on Connecticut superbills

Independent counseling in Connecticut is commonly written as LPC. Also print the letters you actually hold: LPC, LCSW, LMFT, Licensed Psychologist. The board to match your number against is the Connecticut Department of Public Health. License line hint: CT license #.

Connecticut LPCs are licensed by DPH. List license number and expiration if the client's insurer asks for it on the superbill notes.

Telehealth coding (national rules, used in Connecticut)

In-office sessions use place of service 11 and no telehealth modifier. Video visits with the client at home use POS 10 and modifier 95. If the client is not at home, use POS 02. Audio-only, when the payer allows it, is modifier 93. Do not pair POS 11 with modifier 95.

Sales tax on therapy in Connecticut

Mental health counseling is generally not taxed as a Connecticut sales-taxable service. This generator defaults tax to zero. Add a note, not a tax engine, if your situation is unusual (retail products, groups billed as events, etc.).

Interstate compacts (verify before you practice)

• Counseling Compact: Enacted (confirm if privileges are live)
• PSYPACT (psychologists): Active
• Social Work Compact: Enacted (confirm if privileges are live)

Enacted is not the same as operational. A compact privilege does not replace documenting the license or privilege you used on the date of service.

Is telehealth billed differently in Connecticut?

Use POS 10 (patient at home) or 02 (elsewhere) plus modifier 95 for video. Do not use POS 11 for a video session.

What to put on a Connecticut superbill

• Your legal name, LPC or other credential, practice address, phone
• NPI (Type 1) and EIN or SSN as tax ID
• Connecticut license number as printed by the Connecticut Department of Public Health
• Client name, date of birth, member ID if they want reimbursement
• Each date of service, POS, CPT (90834 / 90837 / 90791 are the usual set), ICD-10, fee, amount paid

Orientation only — not billing, tax, or legal advice. Payer rules beat this page.

Connecticut clinicians in private practice use invoices for cash-pay clients and superbills for out-of-network (OON) reimbursement. This generator builds either PDF in the browser with Connecticut defaults: LPC as the primary counseling title, a CT license # hint aligned with Department of Public Health (DPH) eLicense lookup, and fields for NPI, CPT, ICD-10, place of service, and payments. Nothing is uploaded—work stays on your device.

Select Connecticut when your DPH license (or another lawful pathway) and the client’s location for the session authorize care. Print the credential and number shown on eLicense. This page is not legal, billing, coding, insurance, or tax advice.

License titles that belong on the form

Connecticut professional counselors use Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). That is the default credential on this page. Clinical social workers print LCSW; marriage and family therapists print LMFT; psychologists print Licensed Psychologist.

Exact credential dropdown strings:

`LPC` · `LCSW` · `LMFT` · `Licensed Psychologist`

Match the profession name and license type on DPH eLicense. Associate, temporary, or supervised statuses are not independent LPC/LCSW/LMFT titles—identify supervisors in notes when required and print only the credential you hold.

If a client’s insurer asks for license expiration on OON paperwork, add the expiration date from eLicense in the notes field rather than inventing fields.

Board, license number, lookup

Connecticut LPC, LCSW, LMFT, and many other health professions are licensed through the Connecticut Department of Public Health Practitioner Licensing & Investigations Section. Public verification uses eLicense Online – License Lookup.

Copy the license number exactly as eLicense displays it. The generator hint CT license # is intentionally generic because DPH formats vary by profession—paste the full string from lookup.

Include Type 1 NPI (Type 2 for groups), tax ID, and practice address. Taxonomy codes belong in notes or electronic claims when the plan asks.

Interstate practice: Counseling Compact / PSYPACT / SW compact

Counseling Compact — enacted (not yet operational for privileges in Connecticut). Connecticut appears on the Counseling Compact jurisdictions list. Enactment does not by itself authorize practice in remote states. Live privilege states are listed on counselingcompact.gov; verify Connecticut’s operational status and the remote state’s live status before interstate care.

PSYPACT — yes. Connecticut participates for psychologists with required ASPPB authorizations. PSYPACT does not authorize LPC, LCSW, or LMFT practice.

Social Work Licensure Compact — enacted (not yet operational for multistate licenses). Connecticut appears on the official Social Work Compact jurisdictions list. Multistate licenses are not yet issued—confirm at swcompact.org.

Telehealth + place of service

Is telehealth billed differently in Connecticut on the claim form? Use POS 10 (patient at home) or POS 02 (elsewhere) plus modifier 95 for video when the payer requires it. Do not use POS 11 for a video session.

Interstate telehealth still requires lawful authority in the client’s state—Connecticut license, live Counseling Compact privilege when available, PSYPACT for psychologists, or another lawful pathway. Print the credential that authorizes that encounter.

Sales tax on therapy invoices

Connecticut imposes sales and use tax on retail sales of tangible personal property and on certain services specifically enumerated in Conn. Gen. Stat. § 12-407. The Department of Revenue Services publishes lists of taxable services (for example certain business analysis/management consulting, computer and data processing, personnel services, and many personal services). Ordinary licensed mental health counseling and psychotherapy are generally not treated as those enumerated taxable services.

Leave the invoice sales tax at $0 for clinical session fees. If you also sell taxable enumerated services or tangible goods, follow DRS rules for those lines. Confirm edge cases with DRS or a tax professional.

Documentation tips for Connecticut OON claims

DPH eLicense lookup is the verification source most Connecticut payers expect. Print the license number and, when requested, the expiration date from the same record. If you renew mid-claim-cycle, update subsequent superbills so DOS falls within an active license period.

Connecticut’s enumerated-services sales-tax regime means adjacent offerings (for example certain consulting, training sold to employers, or taxable personal services) can be taxable even when psychotherapy is not. Keep clinical session fees on separate invoice lines from any taxable ancillary services so the $0 tax treatment on therapy remains clear.

Until Connecticut is live for Counseling Compact privileges, do not tell clients you can “practice in any compact state” based solely on CT LPC licensure. Use compact language only after CompactConnect shows an issued privilege for a live remote state.

Two worked Connecticut examples

Connecticut runs its counseling, social work, and MFT licenses through the Department of Public Health rather than a standalone counseling board, which is why the license hint on this page is deliberately generic. The two documents below come from a fictional Hartford practice: one private-pay invoice, one out-of-network superbill. All identifiers are placeholders.

Example 1 — an in-office private-pay Connecticut invoice

An LPC sees a self-pay client for weekly 60-minute sessions in the office. No insurer is involved, so the document is an invoice — a record of services and payments — and the diagnosis column can stay empty.

POS 11 is correct — every session was in the office. The tax line stays at $0.00 because Connecticut taxes only services specifically enumerated in Conn. Gen. Stat. § 12-407, and licensed mental health counseling is not on the Department of Revenue Services' taxable-services lists. The credential is LPC, and the license field follows the CT license # hint — DPH formats vary by profession, so paste the full string from the eLicense lookup rather than assuming a pattern.

Example 2 — a telehealth out-of-network superbill

A second client in New Haven has a PPO and attends weekly by video from home. The document must satisfy an adjuster's checklist, so it becomes a superbill: the invoice fields plus diagnosis, telehealth place of service, the telemedicine modifier, and the complete provider identity block.

The client joined from home, so POS 10 applies — telehealth from anywhere else would take 02, and 11 would falsely claim an office visit. Modifier 95 flags synchronous audio-video service where the payer requires it. The intake bills 90791; the 60-minute follow-ups bill 90837.

The provider block shows the rendering name with LPC, the license number copied verbatim from eLicense Online, NPI, practice address, and tax ID. If the plan asks for license expiration on OON paperwork, put the eLicense expiration date in the notes field rather than inventing a column. The paid column is populated because OON reimbursement repays money already spent.

Both parties were in Connecticut, so the DPH license sufficed. Connecticut has enacted the Counseling Compact but enactment alone does not authorize practice in remote states — privileges require live operational status on the Commission map. Connecticut does participate in PSYPACT for psychologists holding ASPPB authorizations.

Common mistakes on Connecticut superbills

• Guessing the license-number format. DPH formats vary by profession — that is why the hint reads "CT license #." Paste the exact string from eLicense Online rather than inferring a pattern.
• Printing an associate or temporary status as LPC. Supervised statuses are not the independent title. Print the credential you hold and identify the supervisor in notes when the plan requires it.
• Treating enacted compact status as live. Connecticut is a Counseling Compact member, but privileges require operational status on both ends — verify counselingcompact.gov before interstate care.
• Coding telehealth as POS 11. Use 10 for a client at home and 02 for telehealth elsewhere. POS 11 means the client sat in your office.
• Adding a sales-tax line. Counseling is not among Connecticut's enumerated taxable services under § 12-407. Leave tax at $0 unless you sell taxable goods or listed services.
• Leaving the paid column blank. OON plans reimburse actual expenditures — a superbill without payments usually comes back unanswered.

Why these sources matter

Every factual claim on this page traces back to a primary source: Connecticut Department of Public Health, the official interstate-compact commissions, and Connecticut's own tax authority. That matters because out-of-network billing guidance ages badly — license titles get renamed, compacts add members, and taxable-service lists get amended. Secondhand summaries lag those changes by months. The links below are the records themselves, with the date each was checked, so you can re-verify anything here before you rely on it for a claim.
