Which code does this activity belong in?
Offices of Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapists, and Audiologists cover establishments providing physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, or audiology services to address impairments, functional limitations, or disabilities through therapeutic intervention. The boundary with Offices of All Other Health Practitioners lies in the type of therapy offered: respiratory therapists, podiatrists, dietitians, and other specialist practitioners excluded from this code operate in the broader category of all other health practitioners. Mental health practitioners who do not provide the specific therapeutic modalities of physical, occupational, or speech therapy are classified separately.
