Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 9, September 1, 2024

(1) A physician's referral is required for the tests shown in this rule. The tests may only be performed and billed by a licensed audiologist or a licensed physician.

(2) Procedure codes are the following:

(a) 92541 - Spontaneous nystagmus test, including gaze and fixation nystagmus, with recording;

(b) 92542 - Positional nystagmus test, minimum of four positions, with recording;

(c) 92543 - Caloric vestibular test, each irrigation (binaural, bithermal stimulation constitutes four tests) with recording;

(d) 92544 - Optokinetic nystagmus test, bidirectional, foveal or peripheral stimulation, with recording;

(e) 92545 - Oscillating tracking test, with recording;

(f) 92546 - Sinusoidal vertical axis rotational testing;

(g) 92547 - Use of vertical electrodes in any or all the above tests counts as one additional test;

(h) 92548 - Test for balance and posture;

(i) 92551 - Screening test, pure tone, air only;

(j) 92552 - Pure tone audiometry (threshold); air only;

(k) 92555 - Speech audiometry; threshold only;

(l) 92556 - With speech recognition;

(m) 92562 - Loudness balance test, alternate binaural or monaural;

(n) 92563 - Tone decay test;

(o) 92564 - Short increment sensitivity index (SISI);

(p) 92565 - Stenger test, pure tone;

(q) 92567 - Tympanometry;

(r) 92568 - Acoustic reflex testing; threshold;

(s) 92569 - Acoustic reflex testing; decay;

(t) 92571 - Filtered speech tests;

(u) 92572 - Staggered spondaic word test;

(v) 92575 - Sensorineural acuity test, test to assess hearing loss using different tone pitches;

(w) 92576 - Synthetic sentence identification test;

(x) 92577 - Stenger test, speech;

(y) 92579 - Visual reinforcement audiometry (VRA);

(z) 92582 - Conditioning play audiometry;

(aa) 92583 - Select picture audiometry;

(bb) 92584 - Electocochleography, test to assess electrical potentials generated in the inner ear as a result of sound stimulation;

(cc) 92585 - Auditory evoked potentials for evoked response audiometry or testing of the central nervous system, comprehensive;

(dd) 92586 - Auditory evoked potentials for evoked response audiometry or testing of the central nervous system, limited;

(ee) 92587 - Evoked Otacoustic Emissions, - limited (single stimulus level, either transient or distortion products);

(ff) 92588 - Evoked Otacoustic Emissions, comprehensive or diagnostic evaluation (comparison of transient or distortion product otoacoustic emissions at multiple levels and frequencies);

(gg) 92620 - Auditory function 60 minutes, evaluation of hearing function brain responses, first hour

(hh) 92621 - Auditory function +15 minutes, evaluation of hearing function brain responses, each additional 15 min

(ii) 92589 Central auditory function tests (specify).
