What 92607 covers
A speech-language pathologist with augmentative and alternative communication expertise evaluates whether a speech-generating device can meet a patient’s communication needs. The assessment may address people with complex communication needs, such as someone with ALS or cerebral palsy, and consider communication abilities, access methods, device features, and trials of candidate systems. It is commonly performed in an outpatient therapy setting with the patient present.
Report 92607 for the first hour of the face-to-face evaluation; report 92608 for each additional 30 minutes when the evaluation continues. Documentation should identify the patient’s communication needs, assessment activities, device or access options considered, recommendation, and time spent. CMS classifies this as a therapy service, so the professional component modifier does not apply. For multiple therapy units on the same day, practice expense is reduced for the second and later units under the therapy multiple procedure payment reduction.
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.

92607 billing questions
How is 92607 different from 92605?

92608 is reported for each additional 30 minutes of the speech-generating device evaluation after the first hour represented by 92607.
Does 92607 include device training or programming?
No. It covers evaluation for a device recommendation; 92609 describes services involving use of a speech-generating device, including programming or modification.
Should modifier 26 be appended?

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.
