1 s CPT Removal of impacted cerumen using irrigation/lavage, unilateral Removal impacted cerumen using instrumentation, unilateral Facial nerve function studies (eg, electroneurography) Spontaneous nystagmus test, including gaze, without recording. This is used to report removal of impacted (cannot see clinically significant portions of the tympanic membrane) cerumen using irrigation and/or lavage. Medicare will not reimburse independent audiologists for this procedure but patients may be charged privately for removal of impacted cerumen. This is a unilateral code. If the procedure is performed bilaterally you must add the 50 (bilateral procedure) modifier to the claim. This is used to report removal of impacted (cannot see clinically significant portions of the tympanic membrane) cerumen using instrumentation other than irrigation/lavage such as curettes and/or alligator clips; Medicare will not reimburse independent audiologists for this procedure but patients may be charged privately for removal of impacted cerumen. This is a unilateral code. If the procedure is performed bilaterally you must add the 50 (bilateral procedure) modifier to the claim. This code is used to bill for electroneurography (ENoG) This code is used to perform any spontaneous or gaze testing, without recording (just visualization). Medicare does not cover this procedure Positional nystagmus test, without recording This code is used when you perform any form of positional testing, such as a Hallpike Maneuver, without recording (just visualization). Medicare does not cover this procedure Caloric vestibular test with recording, bilateral, bi thermal (i.e.one warm and one cool irrigation in each ear for a total of four irrigations) Caloric vestibular test with recording, bilateral, mono thermal (i.e.one irrigation in each ear for a total of two irrigations) Basic vestibular evaluation, includes spontaneous nystagmus test with eccentric gaze fixation nystagmus, with recording, positional nystagmus test, minimum of 4 positions, with recording, optokinetic nystagmus test, bidirectional foveal and peripheral stimulation, with recording, and oscillating tracking test, with recording Spontaneous nystagmus test, including gaze and fixation nystagmus, with recording This code is for bilateral, bi thermal (four irrigations total) caloric testing. This code should not be billed as multiple units. If three irrigations are completed, a 52 (reduced services) modifier should be added. If more than four irrigations are completed, a 22 (increased procedural service) modifier should be added to the claim. This code is for bilateral, mono thermal (two irrigations total) caloric testing. This code should not be billed as multiple units. If one irrigation is completed, a 52 (reduced services) modifier should be added to the claim. This bundled code is used to bill for codes 92545, 92542, 92544, and when they are performed on the same patient on the same date of service /8 are not included in this bundle and should be billed separately. Spontaneous nystagmus portion of the common ENG/VNG test protocol; if billed with either 92542, and/or (two or three of the codes) add the 59 (distinct procedural service) modifier to the claim.

2 92542 Positional nystagmus test, minimum of 4 positions, with recording Positional portion of the common ENG/VNG test protocol, including all positions and the Hallpike maneuver; if billed with either 92541, and/or (two or three of the codes) add the 59 (distinct procedural service) modifier to the claim Optokinetic nystagmus test, bidirectional, foveal or peripheral stimulation, with recording Optokinetic portion of the common ENG/VNG test protocol; if billed with either 92541, and/or (two or three of the codes) add 59 modifier to the claim Oscillating tracking test, with recording Tracking portion of the common ENG/VNG test protocol; if billed with either 92541, and/or (two or three of the codes) add 59 modifier to the claim Sinusoidal vertical axis rotational testing Rotation chair testing; requires special equipment; commonly used to verify bilateral caloric weaknesses; supply documentation supporting medical necessity if claim denied Use of vertical electrodes (List separately in addition to code for primary procedure) (Use in conjunction with codes ) (For unlisted vestibular tests, use 92700) This is an add on code; it can be added to codes 92537, 92538, 92540, 92541, 92542, 92544, 92545, and/or if vertical electrodes are used and add diagnostic value to the procedure. This code is inappropriate for use as part of a VNG test battery when billing Medicare (except in Florida) Computerized dynamic posturography Requires special equipment; commonly used for malingerers or as part of a vestibular rehabilitation program; supply documentation supporting medical necessity if claim denied

3 92550 Tympanometry and reflex threshold measurements This bundled code is used to bill and when they are performed on the same patient on the same date of service Screening test, pure tone, air only. This is the code for a pass fail pure tone screening. This is inappropriate to use when thresholds are established. Medicare does not cover this procedure.
