Minnesota superbill and invoice for LPCC, LCSW, LMFT, and psychologists
This page is the same Therapist Invoice Generator generator with Minnesota selected. Out-of-network clients still need a superbill with your NPI, tax ID, Minnesota 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 Minnesota superbills
Independent counseling in Minnesota is commonly written as LPCC. Also print the letters you actually hold: LPC, LPCC, LICSW, LMFT, Licensed Psychologist. The board to match your number against is the Minnesota Board of Behavioral Health and Therapy. License line hint: MN LPCC #.
Minnesota independent counselors are LPCCs. Minnesota was in the first Counseling Compact go-live pair with Arizona.
Telehealth coding (national rules, used in Minnesota)
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 Minnesota
Most professional mental health services are not subject to Minnesota 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.
LPC vs LPCC in Minnesota?
LPCC is the independent clinical license. Use LPCC on superbills if that is the license you hold.
What to put on a Minnesota superbill
- Your legal name, LPCC or other credential, practice address, phone
- NPI (Type 1) and EIN or SSN as tax ID
- Minnesota license number as printed by the Minnesota Board of Behavioral Health and Therapy
- 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.
Minnesota private-practice clinicians use superbills when clients file out-of-network (OON) claims and invoices when clients pay cash or private-pay retainers. This generator builds either document entirely in the browser: no account, no PHI upload, and a downloadable PDF with the fields payers and clients actually need—rendering credential, Minnesota license number, NPI, CPT, ICD-10, place of service, charges, and amounts paid.
Use Minnesota defaults when the rendering provider’s authority and the client’s location for the session are Minnesota (or another jurisdiction you are lawfully authorized to serve). Match the exact title on your Board of Behavioral Health and Therapy (BBHT) record. This page supports documentation workflow only; it is not legal, billing, coding, insurance, or tax advice.
License titles that belong on the form
Minnesota’s independent clinical counseling title is Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). That is the default for this generator. Minnesota also issues Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC); LPC is a different license rank and scope. For most independent private-practice OON superbills, print LPCC when that is the license you hold.
Other titles commonly used on Minnesota superbills:
- LICSW — Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (clinical independent social work under the Minnesota Board of Social Work; print the exact letters on your license).
- LMFT — Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.
- Licensed Psychologist — psychologists licensed by the Minnesota Board of Psychology (separate board from BBHT).
Exact credential dropdown strings:
`LPC` · `LPCC` · `LICSW` · `LMFT` · `Licensed Psychologist`
Do not list LPCC if you only hold LPC. Supervised or provisional statuses are not interchangeable with independent clinical titles on the rendering-provider line. If a payer asks for a supervisor during an associate or provisional period, put the supervisor’s name and license in the notes field rather than inventing an independent credential.
Board, license number, lookup
Counselors (LPC/LPCC) and related BBHT licenses are regulated by the Minnesota Board of Behavioral Health and Therapy (BBHT). Public online entity search is available through Minnesota’s licensing portal. Social work and psychology sit on separate boards—use the board that issued the credential you are printing.
Copy the license number exactly as shown on your BBHT (or other board) record, including any prefix or formatting. The generator hint MN LPCC # is a reminder for counselors, not a claim that every Minnesota behavioral-health license shares one format.
Include Type 1 NPI for the individual rendering provider (and Type 2 if billing under a group), plus EIN or SSN as the payer requires. Taxonomy codes belong in notes or electronic claim fields when the plan asks for them.
Interstate practice: Counseling Compact / PSYPACT / SW compact
Counseling Compact — operational. Minnesota is among the live privilege states on counselingcompact.gov. LPCCs licensed by Minnesota who live in Minnesota may apply for privileges in other live compact states via CompactConnect; counselors from other live states may obtain privileges to practice in Minnesota. Associates and trainees are not eligible. Always confirm both home and remote states are live on the Commission site on the date of service.
PSYPACT — yes. Minnesota participates for psychologists who hold the required ASPPB authorizations (for example E.Passport / APIT as applicable). PSYPACT privileges do not authorize counselor or social-work practice.
Social Work Licensure Compact — enacted (not yet operational for multistate licenses). Minnesota appears on the official Social Work Compact jurisdictions list. Multistate licenses are not yet being issued while the commission’s data system is built—verify at swcompact.org before relying on SW compact mobility.
Telehealth + place of service
Use POS 10 when the patient is at home for a telehealth visit, or POS 02 when telehealth occurs elsewhere. Add modifier 95 for synchronous telemedicine when the payer’s billing guide requires it. Office POS 11 is for in-person office services—not for video-only sessions.
Interstate telehealth still requires lawful authority in the client’s state (Minnesota license, Counseling Compact privilege, PSYPACT authorization for psychologists, or another lawful pathway). Print the credential and number you actually hold for that encounter.
Sales tax on therapy invoices
Minnesota sales and use tax generally targets tangible personal property and certain taxable services enumerated by statute. Ordinary professional mental health counseling and psychotherapy session fees are typically not treated as a sales-tax line on a client invoice. Leave the sales tax line at $0 on therapy invoices and superbills unless you also sell taxable goods or listed taxable services.
Separately, Minnesota maintains a MinnesotaCare provider tax framework on certain patient-service receipts for defined health-care providers. That is a provider-level tax concept, not a routine “sales tax” add-on for clients on a superbill. Confirm registration and taxability with the Minnesota Department of Revenue or a tax professional; do not invent a percentage on the PDF.

Two worked Minnesota examples
Minnesota's paperwork runs through the Board of Behavioral Health and Therapy — BBHT — and its distinctive trap is the LPC/LPCC rank split: LPCC is the clinical independent license, LPC is a different rank and scope, and they are not interchangeable on a rendering line. The two documents below come from a fictional Minneapolis practice. All identifiers are placeholders.
Example 1 — an in-office private-pay Minnesota invoice
An LPCC sees a self-pay client for weekly 60-minute sessions in the office. No insurer is involved, so the document is an invoice — services, dates, charges, payments — and the diagnosis column can stay empty.
| Date of service | Service | CPT | POS | Charge | Paid |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| May 6 | Individual psychotherapy, 60 min | 90837 | 11 | $170.00 | $170.00 |
| May 13 | Individual psychotherapy, 60 min | 90837 | 11 | $170.00 | $170.00 |
| May 20 | Individual psychotherapy, 60 min | 90837 | 11 | $170.00 | $170.00 |
| May 27 | Individual psychotherapy, 60 min | 90837 | 11 | $170.00 | $170.00 |
| Sales tax (see below) | $0.00 | ||||
| Total | $680.00 | $680.00 | |||
POS 11 is accurate for office sessions. The tax line stays at $0.00 because Minnesota generally does not impose sales tax on professional mental health counseling session fees. (Separately, MinnesotaCare provider tax rules can apply to certain patient-service receipts at the provider level — that is a provider filing matter, not a client-facing invoice line; confirm with Minnesota Revenue.) The credential is LPCC, and the license field follows the MN LPCC # hint — copy the number exactly as the BBHT record shows it.
Example 2 — a telehealth out-of-network superbill
A second client in Duluth 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.
| Date of service | CPT | Modifier | POS | ICD-10 | Charge | Paid |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jul 8 | 90791 | 95 | 10 | F32.1 | $200.00 | $200.00 |
| Jul 15 | 90837 | 95 | 10 | F32.1 | $170.00 | $170.00 |
| Jul 22 | 90837 | 95 | 10 | F32.1 | $170.00 | $170.00 |
| Jul 29 | 90837 | 95 | 10 | F32.1 | $170.00 | $170.00 |
| Total | $710.00 | $710.00 | ||||
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 for the plans that require it. The intake bills 90791; the 60-minute follow-ups bill 90837.
The provider block carries the rendering name with LPCC — not LPC, which is a different license rank in Minnesota — plus the BBHT license number, NPI, practice address, and tax ID. If the rendering clinician were a clinical social worker, the credential would be LICSW from the separate Board of Social Work. The paid column is populated because OON reimbursement repays actual expenditures.
Both parties were in Minnesota, so the state license sufficed. Minnesota is among the operational Counseling Compact states — privileges are actually issuing — so a Minnesota LPCC can hold privileges in other live compact states. A supervised or provisional clinician would print that status instead; the associate tiers are not privilege credentials.
Common mistakes on Minnesota superbills
- Printing LPCC while holding LPC. Minnesota's two licenses are different ranks and scopes — LPC is not a shorthand for LPCC. Independent private-practice superbills show LPCC when that is the license held.
- Printing a supervised status as an independent title. Provisional and supervised statuses are not LPCC. Print the exact credential held and put the supervisor's name and license in notes when the plan asks.
- Verifying a social worker on the wrong board. LICSWs verify through the Minnesota Board of Social Work, not BBHT — use the board that issued the credential you are printing.
- 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. Session fees are generally not subject to Minnesota sales tax. Leave the line at $0 — and keep the separate MinnesotaCare provider tax question off the client invoice entirely.
- Leaving the paid column blank. OON plans reimburse money already spent — a superbill without payments usually comes back unanswered.
FAQ
LPC vs LPCC in Minnesota?
LPCC is the independent clinical counseling license. Use LPCC on superbills if that is the license you hold; do not upgrade the letters on paper.
Is Minnesota in the Counseling Compact?
Yes—operational. Privileges are usable only with other live states; verify the map before each interstate episode of care.
Does Minnesota charge sales tax on therapy?
Ordinary professional counseling/psychotherapy fees are generally left at $0 sales tax on the invoice. Confirm any MinnesotaCare provider-tax obligations separately with Revenue.
What do OON payers want on a Minnesota superbill?
Name + LPCC/LPC/LICSW/etc., NPI, Minnesota license number, address, DOS, CPT, ICD-10, POS, charges, and amount paid.
Can I use a Counseling Compact privilege number on the form?
Print the home-state license and note the remote-state privilege (and privilege number from CompactConnect) when you are practicing under compact authority—match what the remote board and payer expect.
Why these sources matter
Every factual claim on this page traces back to a primary source: Minnesota Board of Behavioral Health and Therapy, the official interstate-compact commissions, and Minnesota'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.
