New Jersey superbill and invoice for LPC, LCSW, LMFT, and psychologists
This page is the same Therapist Invoice Generator generator with New Jersey selected. Out-of-network clients still need a superbill with your NPI, tax ID, New Jersey 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 New Jersey superbills
Independent counseling in New Jersey is commonly written as LPC. Also print the letters you actually hold: LPC, LCSW, LMFT, Licensed Psychologist, LAC. The board to match your number against is the New Jersey Professional Counselor Examiners Committee. License line hint: NJ LPC #.
New Jersey uses LPC and LAC. PSYPACT is active.
Telehealth coding (national rules, used in New Jersey)
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 New Jersey
Professional counseling services are generally exempt from New Jersey 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: 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.
Should an LAC appear as rendering provider?
Only with the associate title disclosed. Many plans want the independently licensed supervisor identified.
What to put on a New Jersey superbill
- Your legal name, LPC or other credential, practice address, phone
- NPI (Type 1) and EIN or SSN as tax ID
- New Jersey license number as printed by the New Jersey Professional Counselor Examiners Committee
- 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.
New Jersey professional counselors are licensed by the Professional Counselor Examiners Committee under the Division of Consumer Affairs. This generator builds a therapist invoice or out-of-network (OON) superbill PDF in the browser with New Jersey defaults: LPC as the independent counseling title, LAC for associates, and a NJ LPC # license hint matched to DCA verification.
An invoice bills the client for payment. A superbill packages CPT, ICD-10, provider, and payment detail for OON reimbursement. Both need accurate name, credential, license number, NPI, diagnoses, procedures, place of service, and amounts. The tool runs in the browser only—no PHI upload.
License titles that belong on the form
New Jersey’s independent counseling license is Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). Associates hold Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) and must practice under qualified supervision (see N.J.A.C. 13:34 counselor rules summarized on the Committee FAQ).
Independent titles commonly used on New Jersey superbills:
- LPC — Licensed Professional Counselor (default on this page)
- LCSW — Licensed Clinical Social Worker
- LMFT — Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
- Licensed Psychologist — New Jersey Board of Psychological Examiners
Associate / pre-independent:
- LAC — Licensed Associate Counselor
Disclose LAC and identify the supervisor when plans ask. Do not print LPC until the Committee has issued the independent license.
Exact strings for this generator’s credential dropdown: `LPC`, `LCSW`, `LMFT`, `Licensed Psychologist`, `LAC`.
Board, license number, lookup
Committee: New Jersey Professional Counselor Examiners Committee — njconsumeraffairs.gov/pc.
Official license verification: New Jersey MyLicense verification search (also linked from DCA verify tools).
Print the license number exactly as MyLicense shows it for your LPC or LAC. Psychologists and social workers verify under their respective New Jersey boards—use the number that matches the rendering credential on the form. Refresh before a first OON mailing.
Interstate practice: Counseling Compact / PSYPACT / Social Work Compact
As of retrieval on 2026-09-14:
- Counseling Compact: New Jersey is a member (enacted) on counselingcompact.gov/map. Confirm operational privilege status before CompactConnect use—enacted is not automatically live.
- PSYPACT: New Jersey is a participating jurisdiction for psychologists. Verify psypact.gov and hold current authorization.
- Social Work Licensure Compact: New Jersey has enacted the compact and is listed on swcompact.org/compact-jurisdictions. Multistate SW licenses were not yet issuing as of mid-2026—confirm before marketing.
Verify before you rely on any compact.
Telehealth + place of service
For video sessions, commercial superbills commonly use:
- POS 10 — telehealth in patient’s home
- POS 02 — telehealth other than patient’s home
- Modifier 95 — synchronous audio-video telemedicine (when required)
Do not use POS 11 for pure video. Print the New Jersey credential (or compact/PSYPACT authorization) that authorizes practice where the client is located during the session.
Sales tax on therapy invoices
New Jersey sales tax applies to tangible personal property and enumerated services under N.J.S.A. 54:32B-3. Professional counseling / medical professional services are generally not on the taxable list; the Division of Taxation Sales Tax Guide (SU-4) treats professional services (doctor, lawyer, etc.) as outside ordinary sales-tax collection for those service fees. Leave tax at $0 on therapy invoices unless you sell taxable goods or an enumerated taxable service (for example certain information services or tangible products) and confirm with Taxation or a CPA.
This is not tax advice.

Two worked New Jersey examples
New Jersey documents have a few sharp edges: the LPC/LAC distinction between independent and associate counselors, the MyLicense verification portal, and compact statuses that are enacted on paper but still need operational confirmation. The two documents below come from a fictional Princeton practice: one private-pay invoice, one out-of-network superbill. All identifiers are placeholders.
Example 1 — an in-office private-pay New Jersey invoice
An LPC sees a self-pay client for weekly 45-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 because no claim will be filed.
| Date of service | Service | CPT | POS | Charge | Paid |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jun 3 | Individual psychotherapy, 45 min | 90834 | 11 | $155.00 | $155.00 |
| Jun 10 | Individual psychotherapy, 45 min | 90834 | 11 | $155.00 | $155.00 |
| Jun 17 | Individual psychotherapy, 45 min | 90834 | 11 | $155.00 | $155.00 |
| Jun 24 | Individual psychotherapy, 45 min | 90834 | 11 | $155.00 | $155.00 |
| Sales tax (see below) | $0.00 | ||||
| Total | $620.00 | $620.00 | |||
POS 11 is accurate for office work. The tax line stays at $0.00 because New Jersey sales tax under N.J.S.A. 54:32B-3 applies to tangible personal property and enumerated services, and the Division of Taxation's SU-4 guide treats professional services — including counseling — as outside ordinary collection. The credential is LPC, New Jersey's independent counseling license, and the license field follows the NJ LPC # hint: copy the number exactly as it appears in the MyLicense verification search.
Example 2 — a telehealth out-of-network superbill
A different client in Jersey City 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.
| Date of service | CPT | Modifier | POS | ICD-10 | Charge | Paid |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aug 5 | 90791 | 95 | 10 | F41.1 | $185.00 | $185.00 |
| Aug 12 | 90834 | 95 | 10 | F41.1 | $155.00 | $155.00 |
| Aug 19 | 90834 | 95 | 10 | F41.1 | $155.00 | $155.00 |
| Aug 26 | 90834 | 95 | 10 | F41.1 | $155.00 | $155.00 |
| Total | $650.00 | $650.00 | ||||
The client was at 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 45-minute follow-ups bill 90834.
The provider block carries the rendering name with LPC, the license number copied verbatim from MyLicense verification, NPI, practice address, and tax ID. The paid column is populated because out-of-network reimbursement repays actual expenditures — a superbill without it usually comes back unanswered.
One habit worth building before the first submission: pull the license number from the MyLicense verification search rather than from memory or a renewal receipt. The string that resolves there is what a payer verifies against, and MyLicense also shows license type and status — useful when the rendering clinician is an LAC whose associate status must be disclosed alongside the supervisor's identity anyway. A document whose credential, number, and verification record all agree is the one that sails through.
The compact caveat matters at the field level too. An LAC on this superbill is practicing under qualified supervision — a New Jersey license status, not a compact privilege — and that stays true whatever the interstate map eventually shows.
Both parties were in New Jersey, so the state license sufficed. New Jersey has enacted the Counseling Compact, but enacted is not automatically live — privileges require operational listing, and the September 2026 snapshot does not confirm it. The LAC associate tier is similarly not a compact pathway: associates practice under qualified supervision and disclose that status when plans ask.
Common mistakes on New Jersey superbills
- Printing LPC while holding LAC. Licensed Associate Counselors practice under qualified supervision under N.J.A.C. 13:34 rules. Disclose the associate title and identify the supervisor when the plan asks — do not borrow the independent license early.
- Guessing the license number format. New Jersey license numbers should be copied verbatim from the MyLicense verification search. A reconstructed format will not match the public record.
- Treating the Counseling Compact as live. New Jersey is an enacted member, but privileges require operational status — verify on counselingcompact.gov before relying on it for either direction of practice.
- 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. Professional counseling fees are generally outside New Jersey's taxable-services list under SU-4. Leave tax at $0 unless you sell taxable goods or an enumerated service.
- Leaving the paid column blank. OON plans reimburse money already spent. A superbill showing charges without payments gives the adjuster nothing to act on.

Why these sources matter
Every factual claim on this page traces back to a primary source: New Jersey Professional Counselor Examiners Committee, the official interstate-compact commissions, and New Jersey'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.
