(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)

92551 – Screening test, pure tone, air only;

(i)

92552 – Pure tone audiometry (threshold); air only;

(j)

92555 – Speech audiometry; threshold only;

(k)

92556 – With speech recognition;

(L)

92562 – Loudness balance test, alternate binaural or monaural;

(m)

92563 – Tone decay test;

(n)

92564 – Short increment sensitivity index (SISI);

(o)

92565 – Stenger test, pure tone;

(p)

92567 – Tympanometry;

(q)

92568 – Acoustic reflex testing; threshold;

(r)

92569 – Acoustic reflex testing; decay;

(s)

(t) 92572 – Staggered spondaic word test;

(u)

92576 – Synthetic sentence identification test;
(v)

92585 – Auditory evoked potentials for evoked response audiometry or testing of the central nervous system, comprehensive;

(aa)

92586 – Auditory evoked potentials for evoked response audiometry or testing of the central nervous system, limited;

(bb)

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

(cc)
