Codes Used in Chiropractic Billing Services

Chiropractic billing codes are like a secret language between chiropractors and insurance companies. These codes precisely tell the insurance company what kind of treatment you received.

CPT codes are action codes. They describe the specific service a chiropractor performed during your visit. The most common ones revolve around chiropractic manipulative treatment (CMT), which is the fancy way of saying spinal adjustments.

• 98940: This code signifies a chiropractic adjustment involving one or two spinal regions. Maybe your neck and upper back were bothering you, so this code would likely be used.
• 98941: This code applies when adjustments are performed on three or four spinal regions. Perhaps you had lower back pain radiating down your leg, surely requiring adjustments in your lumbar and sacral regions.
• 98942: This code indicates adjustments throughout your entire spine, targeting five regions.
• 98943: This code goes beyond the spine. It undoubtedly adjustments performed on one or more regions outside the spinal column, like your knee or shoulder.

ICD-10-CM Codes: The Reason Codes
