As you know, October is observed as National Physical Therapy Month since 1981 by the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA). This annual campaign helps to improve awareness about physical therapy treatment. To document physical therapy procedures in medical claims, CPT codes are to be used. CPT codes are procedure codes that identify the procedures or services rendered to patients.
