What is a Music Therapist invoice?

A music therapist invoice covers individual and group music therapy sessions using music as a therapeutic medium to support emotional, social, cognitive, and communicative development. Music therapists in the UK are regulated by the HCPC and must hold the Music Therapist designation. Like art therapists, music therapists work in schools, hospitals, hospices, care homes, and private practice. HCPC registration number must appear on all clinical invoices. Music therapy is VAT-exempt when provided by registered therapists. Instruments and equipment used in sessions are the therapist's professional tools and are not typically invoiced separately, though equipment hire for workshops or events may be.

Frequently asked questions

How do I invoice care homes for music therapy?
Invoice the care home (not individual residents) monthly with the number of sessions, dates, and group sizes documented. A service level agreement covering session frequency, group size, and reporting requirements protects both parties.
Is music therapy VAT-exempt?
Yes. Music therapy provided by an HCPC-registered music therapist for therapeutic purposes is VAT-exempt.
Should I charge for assessment report writing?
Yes. Assessment reports require time beyond the session itself. Invoice report writing as a separate line item or include it in the programme fee for contracted work.
Can I invoice for music therapy workshops?
Yes, but note that general music workshops for entertainment rather than therapeutic purposes may not qualify for VAT exemption. Invoice therapeutic workshops through your clinical invoice and non-clinical workshops separately.
What cancellation policy applies for school contracts?
Include a clause covering planned school closures (bank holidays, INSET days). Agree whether sessions missed due to school closure are rescheduled or written off. Cancellation by the school with short notice should incur a charge equal to the session fee.
