What 92614 covers
This service records flexible endoscopic laryngeal sensory testing, commonly performed with a transnasal endoscope and controlled air pulses to assess laryngeal sensation and protective responses. It may be used when a patient with dysphagia, suspected aspiration, or reduced awareness of airway entry needs sensory assessment. An otolaryngologist or a speech-language pathologist with appropriate training may perform the procedure, depending on the clinical setting and team.
Report 92614 for the recorded sensory test itself, rather than a sensory test combined with a full endoscopic swallowing evaluation. The record should support the reason for testing and describe the procedure and findings. Distinguish this service from 92615, which represents interpretation and report only, and from 92616, which includes an endoscopic swallowing evaluation with laryngeal sensory testing.
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.

92614 billing questions
How does 92614 differ from 92616?
92614 represents recorded laryngeal sensory testing. Use 92616 when the service also includes an endoscopic swallowing evaluation with sensory testing.
When is 92615 reported instead?
92615 is for interpretation and report only for laryngeal sensory testing. 92614 represents the recorded testing service.
Is this the same as a standard FEES?
No. A standard endoscopic swallowing evaluation without laryngeal sensory testing is represented by 92612 for the recorded study or 92613 for interpretation and report only.
What documentation supports 92614?
Document the clinical reason for evaluating laryngeal sensation, the recorded testing performed, and the findings. The record should make clear whether a full swallowing evaluation was also performed.
Who typically performs the test?
An otolaryngologist or a speech-language pathologist with appropriate training may perform laryngeal sensory testing as part of dysphagia or airway-protection assessment.
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.
