Acupuncture Billing Codes overview
You may be wondering “Where can I find the right acupuncture CPT codes to use?” At Holistic Billing Services, we know this is a common concern when getting started if you’re an acupuncture provider who’s new to insurance billing.
We believe these codes are bones that most insurance will pay, distributed by the three main sources of profit for your practice acupuncture treatments, office visits, and physical remedy-grounded treatments.

Numerous of the services you'll bill to insurance for acupuncture treatments will fall under the following four codes:
