A pregnant patient is having problems with her round ligaments and increasing pain in her pelvic region. She visits a chiropractor who performed chiropractic manipulation of the pelvic region. What is the correct CPT code for this procedure?
  1. 98940
  2. 98941
  3. 98942
  4. 98943
Explanation
Answer: A - 98940 is the correct code for chiropractic manipulative treatment of the spine for 1-2 regions.
Codes 98941 and 98942 are incorrect codes because, although these are codes for manipulation of the spine, these codes involve more than just one region of manipulation. Code 98943 is incorrect because this code involves the extraspinal regions.
