Article Guidance

Article Text

This Billing and Coding Article provides billing and coding guidance for Local Coverage Determination (LCD) L35007 Vestibular and Audiologic Function Studies. Please refer to the LCD for reasonable and necessary requirements.

Coding Guidance

Notice: It is not appropriate to bill Medicare for services that are not covered (as described by the entire LCD) as if they are covered. When billing for non-covered services, use the appropriate modifier.

Consistent with the LCD, CPT codes 92553, 92557 and 92568 may be performed when there is current long-term use of ototoxic antibiotics.

The professional component of the services represented by CPT codes 92537, 92538, 92541, 92542, 92544, 92545, 92546, 92587, 92588, 92651, 92652, and 92653 may be reported for services performed in inpatient, outpatient, nursing facilities (when Part A benefits have been exhausted), rehabilitation facilities, hearing and speech centers, independent clinics, and independent diagnostic testing facilities (IDTF).

CPT codes 92547, 92552, 92553, 92555, 92556, 92562, 92563, 92565, 92571, 92572, 92575, 92576, 92577, 92582, 92583, and 92584 are considered technical services only codes and may be reported for services performed in the office setting, clinics, hearing and speech centers, and nursing facilities.

Note: Payment for technical components of Technical Component (TC)/Professional Component (PC) services (when the PC is performed by an appropriate professional) and for technical-only services are allowed to hospitals.

Utilization Parameters

Consistent with the utilization outlined in the related LCD:

  • CPT codes 92553, 92557, 92567 and 92568 may be reported once a month when a beneficiary is receiving ototoxic medications
  • The following may only be reported once during a session (same date of service)
    • CPT codes 92541, 92542, 92544,92545 and 92546
  • CPT code 92542 should not be billed two times for two positions or any multiple increments.
  • Payment may be made for two of the following services per patient per year:
    • CPT codes 92541, 92542, 92544, 92545 and 92546

Documentation Requirements

  1. All documentation must be maintained in the patient's medical record and made available to the contractor upon request.
  2. Every page of the record must be legible and include appropriate patient identification information (e.g., complete name, dates of service[s]). The documentation must include the legible signature of the physician or non-physician practitioner responsible for and providing the care to the patient.
  3. The submitted medical record must support the use of the selected ICD-10-CM code(s). The submitted CPT/HCPCS code must describe the service performed.

Bill Type Codes

Contractors may specify Bill Types to help providers identify those Bill Types typically used to report this service. Absence of a Bill Type does not guarantee that the article does not apply to that Bill Type. Complete absence of all Bill Types indicates that coverage is not influenced by Bill Type and the article should be assumed to apply equally to all claims.

Revenue Codes

Contractors may specify Revenue Codes to help providers identify those Revenue Codes typically used to report this service. In most instances Revenue Codes are purely advisory. Unless specified in the article, services reported under other Revenue Codes are equally subject to this coverage determination. Complete absence of all Revenue Codes indicates that coverage is not influenced by Revenue Code and the article should be assumed to apply equally to all Revenue Codes.

Note: The contractor has identified the Bill Type and Revenue Codes applicable for use with the CPT/HCPCS codes included in this article. Providers are reminded that not all CPT/HCPCS codes listed can be billed with all Bill Type or Revenue Codes listed. CPT/HCPCS codes are required to be billed with specific Bill Type and Revenue Codes. Providers are encouraged to refer to the CMS Internet-Only Manual (IOM) Pub.100-04, Claims Processing Manual, for further guidance.
