U.S. Department of Labor
Some years ago the U.S. Department of Labor’s Dictionary of Occupational Titles was in use and defined the profession or occupation of hypnotherapist as: Hypnotherapist- “induces hypnotic state in client to increase motivation or alter behavior patterns. Prepares client to enter hypnotic state by explaining how hypnosis works and what client will experience. Tests subject to determine degrees of physical and emotional suggestibility. Induces hypnotic state in client using individualized methods and techniques of hypnosis based on interpretation of test results and analysis of client’s problem. May train client in self hypnosis conditioning.” The Identification number assigned was 079.157-010. 

Even though the dictionary is no longer being published, O*NET has taken over the classification process and has classified hypnotherapists in the "Therapists, all other (29-1129.99)" category. 

The insurance industry still acknowledges hypnotherapy as a viable adjunct to traditional health and wellness modalities and some insurance may pay for hypnotherapy services using insurance CPT Code 90880 and  the Description of Service Hypnosis/Single Session, ICDA943-2, and DSM Code 300.02.
