Which of the following is a non-billable supply?

• A. Ice Packs
• B. Bandages
• C. Office Chairs
• D. Marketing Brochures

Answer: (A)

Non-billable supplies are the small, consumable items you use during service delivery that aren’t charged to the client. Ice packs fit this well because they’re used to support the service (for cooling, preservation, or client comfort) but aren’t itemized on the client’s invoice. Bandages, while also consumables, are often treated as direct care items that can be billed as part of the treatment. Office chairs are furniture and considered overhead or capital assets, not something billed per service encounter. Marketing brochures are promotional materials whose costs are typically handled as marketing expenses rather than as billable service items.
