N95.1 is the ICD-10-CM code for menopausal and female climacteric states, which matches the patient's condition. 97810 is the CPT code for the initial 15 minutes of one-on-one contact with the patient for acupuncture without electrical stimulation, and 97811 is the code for each additional 15 minutes of acupuncture, which is not applicable here as the total face-to-face time was 30 minutes, covered by 97810 alone.
