What 92546 covers

This vestibular test uses a rotating chair to deliver smooth, back-and-forth changes in rotational speed while eye movements are recorded. The response helps assess vestibulo-ocular reflex function, including in patients evaluated for persistent dizziness, imbalance, or suspected vestibular hypofunction. Audiologists and otolaryngology or neurotology teams commonly perform it in a vestibular laboratory or audiology setting.

Report 92546 for the sinusoidal rotational test itself, supported by documentation of the clinical indication, test performed, recorded response, and interpretation. It is distinct from eye-movement tests that use visual tracking or positional changes, and from caloric testing that stimulates the vestibular system through ear irrigation. For Medicare, modifier 26 identifies the interpretation, modifier TC identifies the equipment and staff service, and no modifier represents the global service.
