Georgia therapist superbill generator

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

This page is the same Therapist Invoice Generator generator with Georgia selected. Out-of-network clients still need a superbill with your NPI, tax ID, Georgia 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 Georgia superbills

Independent counseling in Georgia 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 Georgia Composite Board of Professional Counselors, Social Workers and MFTs. License line hint: GA LPC #.

Georgia is among the early Counseling Compact operational states. Composite Board licenses LPC, LCSW, and LMFT.

Telehealth coding (national rules, used in Georgia)

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 Georgia

Professional therapy services are generally exempt from Georgia sales tax. 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: Operational / issuing privileges
• 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.

Does Georgia require a supervisor on the superbill?

Only if you are an associate/APC. Independently licensed LPCs list their own license only.

What to put on a Georgia superbill

• Your legal name, LPC or other credential, practice address, phone
• NPI (Type 1) and EIN or SSN as tax ID
• Georgia license number as printed by the Georgia Composite Board of Professional Counselors, Social Workers and MFTs
• 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.

Georgia private-practice clinicians use superbills for out-of-network (OON) insurance reimbursement and invoices for self-pay clients. This generator builds either document in the browser—no PHI upload—and downloads a PDF with rendering credential, Georgia license number, NPI, CPT, ICD-10, place of service, and payment lines.

Select Georgia defaults when your rendering authority and the client’s location for the session are Georgia (or another jurisdiction you are lawfully authorized to serve, including via live Counseling Compact privilege). Match the Composite Board title exactly. This page is workflow documentation only—not legal, billing, or tax advice.

License titles that belong on the form

Georgia’s independent counseling title is Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). That is the generator default and the string most commercial payers expect from a Georgia counseling practice.

Other titles commonly used on Georgia superbills:

• LCSW — Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
• LMFT — Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.
• Licensed Psychologist — psychologists licensed through the Georgia Board of Examiners of Psychologists (Secretary of State Professional Licensing Boards Division)—print the exact title on your license.
• APC — Associate Professional Counselor (supervised; may use associate titles only; practices under direction and supervision while accruing experience toward LPC).

Exact credential dropdown strings:

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

Independently licensed LPCs list their own license only. APCs must use the associate title and should identify the supervisor when a payer asks. Do not put “LPC” on the form during the associate period.

Board, license number, lookup

LPC, LCSW, LMFT, and related associate licenses are issued by the Georgia Composite Board of Professional Counselors, Social Workers and Marriage & Family Therapists under the Secretary of State Professional Licensing Boards Division. Public licensee search runs through the state’s GOALS / Georgia One Stop licensee search (and related SOS licensing lookup pages).

Copy the license number exactly as shown in the official search result. The generator hint GA LPC # is a placeholder reminder—replace it with your real Composite Board number. Include individual NPI (and group NPI if applicable) plus EIN/SSN as the payer requires.

Psychologists verify through their own board’s gateway; do not confuse Composite Board counseling licenses with Composite Medical Board physician lookups.

Interstate practice: Counseling Compact / PSYPACT / SW compact

Counseling Compact — operational. Georgia is among the early live privilege states. Georgia-licensed LPCs who live in Georgia may apply for privileges in other live compact states; counselors from other live states may obtain privileges to practice in Georgia. Georgia went live for privilege issuance (Commission announcement June 2, 2026). Georgia licensees may need to confirm compact eligibility with the Georgia board before applying in CompactConnect—follow counselingcompact.gov application instructions. Associates are not eligible for privileges.

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

Social Work Licensure Compact — enacted (not yet operational for multistate licenses). Georgia is listed on the official Social Work Compact jurisdictions page. Multistate social work licenses are not yet being issued while the commission implements its data system—confirm at swcompact.org.

Verify both home and remote states on the official maps before every interstate episode of care.

Telehealth + place of service

Use POS 10 for telehealth when the patient is at home, or POS 02 when telehealth is provided elsewhere. Add modifier 95 for synchronous telemedicine when the payer’s guide requires it. Do not use POS 11 for a video-only visit.

A Georgia LPC license, a live Counseling Compact privilege naming Georgia, or another lawful authorization must cover the client’s location. Put your licensed practice address on the form even when the session is remote.

Sales tax on therapy invoices

Georgia imposes sales and use tax on retail sales of tangible personal property and on certain enumerated services (for example, accommodations, some in-state passenger transportation, admissions, and amusement/participation charges). The Georgia Department of Revenue states that most services are exempt. Professional psychotherapy and counseling session fees are therefore generally not subject to Georgia sales tax.

Leave the invoice sales tax at $0 for clinical services. If you also sell taxable tangible goods, collect tax on those goods as required. Service providers are typically end users who pay tax on taxable property they consume in delivering nontaxable services. Confirm edge cases with the Georgia Department of Revenue or a tax professional.

Two worked Georgia examples

Georgia's paperwork is shaped by its Composite Board — one agency covering counselors, social workers, and marriage and family therapists — and by an associate tier (APC) that is easy to mislabel on a superbill. The two documents below come from a fictional Atlanta practice: one private-pay invoice, one out-of-network superbill. All identifiers are placeholders.

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

An LPC sees a self-pay client for biweekly 60-minute sessions in the office. No insurer is involved, so the document is an invoice — a statement of services and payments — and the diagnosis column can stay empty since no claim will be filed against it.

POS 11 is correct for office sessions. The tax line stays at $0.00 because Georgia taxes retail sales of tangible personal property and certain enumerated services, and the Department of Revenue states that most services — including professional counseling — are exempt. The credential is LPC, Georgia's independent counseling title, and the license field follows the GA LPC # hint: copy the Composite Board number exactly as it appears in the state's licensee search.

Example 2 — a telehealth out-of-network superbill

A second client in Savannah 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 coding, 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 marks synchronous audio-video service for the plans that require it. The intake bills 90791; the 60-minute follow-ups bill 90837.

The provider block shows the rendering name with LPC, the Composite Board license number copied from the official search, NPI, practice address, and tax ID. The paid column is populated because out-of-network reimbursement repays money the client already spent — a blank paid column gives the plan nothing to reimburse.

One Georgia-specific verification habit is worth building: confirm the license in the Composite Board's licensee search, not the Composite Medical Board's physician lookup — the similar names trip up more people than you would expect, and a payer checking the wrong database sees no record found. The search result shows the exact number and license type; print that string, letter for letter.

The associate tier works the same way everywhere the document touches it: an APC delivering these sessions prints APC, names the supervisor when the plan asks, and stays out of compact conversations entirely — the Commission's June 2, 2026 live-privilege announcement applied to independently licensed counselors only.

Both parties were in Georgia throughout, so the state license sufficed. Georgia is among the early operational Counseling Compact states — the Commission announced live privilege issuance on June 2, 2026 — so a Georgia LPC reaching a client in another live compact state could apply for a privilege. That pathway is not open to associates: APCs are not eligible for compact privileges, and a Georgia APC treating across state lines would need the client's own analysis of what authorizes the work.

Common mistakes on Georgia superbills

• Printing LPC while holding APC. Associate Professional Counselors practice under direction and supervision. Disclose the APC title and identify the supervisor when the plan asks — do not borrow the independent license early.
• Confusing the Composite Board with the Composite Medical Board. The Composite Board of Professional Counselors, Social Workers and Marriage & Family Therapists issues counseling licenses; physicians verify through a different board. Use the correct lookup for the credential on the form.
• Assuming associates can use compact privileges. Georgia's operational Counseling Compact extends privileges to independently licensed counselors — not APCs.
• Coding telehealth as POS 11. Use 10 for a client at home and 02 for telehealth elsewhere. POS 11 describes an office visit.
• Adding a sales-tax line to session fees. Most professional services are exempt under Georgia's enumerated-services framework. Leave tax at $0 unless you sell taxable goods.
• Leaving the paid column blank. OON reimbursement repays actual expenditures. A superbill showing charges without payments usually comes back unanswered.

FAQ

Does Georgia require a supervisor on the superbill?

Only if you are an associate (APC) or otherwise practicing under supervision. Independently licensed LPCs list their own license only.

Is Georgia in the Counseling Compact?

Yes—operational. Privileges work only with other live states; verify counselingcompact.gov and any Georgia board pre-check steps before applying or practicing.

Can an APC issue an OON superbill?

Disclose APC (not LPC). Many commercial plans want the supervisor identified and may prefer an independently licensed rendering provider—confirm with the plan.

Does Georgia tax therapy sessions?

Generally no. Most professional services are outside Georgia’s taxable-services list. Leave tax at $0 unless you sell taxable goods.

What do OON payers want on a Georgia superbill?

Name + LPC (or accurate other title), NPI, Georgia license number, address, DOS, CPT, ICD-10, POS, charges, and amount paid.

Why these sources matter

Every factual claim on this page traces back to a primary source: Georgia Composite Board of Professional Counselors, Social Workers and Marriage & Family Therapists, the official interstate-compact commissions, and Georgia'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.
