Physical Therapy CPT Code

     Physical Therapy CPT code or Current Procedural Terminology Codes are the codes used to describe the services performed on the patient.  There are certain codes used specifically for physical therapy.  Those codes range from 97010 - 97546.

     Unfortunately, at this time there is no book that contains just the PT CPT codes.  In order to receive the codes you must purchase the entire CPT4 book which usually runs about $100.  The PT codes are only on a couple of the pages, so if you know a physician you may be able to just copy the pages for PT.

     Each year the CPT codes are updated.  It is important to check for changes.  It is not necessary to purchase a new book each year if you are only using the PT codes.  There are other ways to check for changes.

     Medicare usually posts any changes on their website.  If you belong to an organization for PT's, they will usually notify you of upcoming changes.  

     It is important that you use the most current CPT codes.  If you are using outdated codes your claims will most likely be denied.
