What 92549 covers

This computerized balance assessment evaluates how a patient maintains posture when visual, somatosensory, and support-surface cues are varied. The sensory organization test uses six conditions; the motor control test assesses responses to platform translations, and the adaptation test assesses responses to platform rotations. Audiologists and other vestibular clinicians typically perform the testing in an audiology or vestibular clinic, with a practitioner interpreting the results and preparing a report. It can help characterize balance impairment in patients with dizziness, unsteadiness, or suspected vestibular dysfunction.

Report 92549 for the combined testing, rather than for the six-condition sensory organization portion alone. Documentation should identify the testing performed and include findings and interpretation supporting the balance assessment. CMS recognizes professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies the interpretation, modifier TC identifies the equipment and staff portion, and no component modifier represents the global service. The reported component should match the work and resources furnished by the billing entity.

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.
