Can Chiro's and PT's bill for the new dry needling codes? 20560/20561
It doesn't indicate this requirement in the CPT book; however, Optum Encoder's lay description specifically says the services is provided by a 'Physician'.
 
You should check with your payers. Medicare considered making them "always therapy" codes before it decided not to cover them, so some places may allow a PT to do them.
