What 92548 covers

This test evaluates balance on a computerized platform while visual cues and the supporting surface are varied across six conditions. The resulting sway measurements help characterize how a patient uses vision, information from the feet and joints, and inner-ear balance signals to maintain posture. Audiologists and clinicians in vestibular testing programs commonly perform it for patients with dizziness, imbalance, or suspected difficulty integrating sensory balance cues. The service includes interpretation and a report.

Report 92548 for the six-condition sensory organization assessment, not for a broader vestibular battery simply because other tests are performed. The record should support the testing conditions completed, the patient’s measured responses, and the interpretation. CMS recognizes professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies the interpretation, modifier TC identifies equipment and staff, and billing without either modifier represents the global service. The professional and technical portions are separately priced.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

92548 billing questions

How is 92548 different from 92549?

92548 reports the six-condition sensory organization assessment. 92549 is the broader posturography service that adds motor control and adaptation testing.

Can the professional and technical portions be billed separately?

Yes. Use modifier 26 for the interpretation and report, or modifier TC for the equipment and staff portion. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.

What documentation supports 92548?

Document the sensory organization testing performed, the recorded balance responses, and the interpretation linking those findings to the patient’s balance assessment.

Is the interpretation included in 92548?

The service includes interpretation and a report. Modifier 26 identifies the professional component when it is billed separately from the technical component.

Should 92548 be selected for any computerized balance test?

No. Select it for the six-condition sensory organization assessment; use 92549 when motor control and adaptation testing are also part of the reported service.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
