Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 95992 covers

This service treats benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), in which displaced inner-ear particles trigger brief vertigo with changes in head position. A clinician, commonly a physical therapist or physician with vestibular training, performs a canalith repositioning maneuver such as the Epley or Semont maneuver. It is typically provided in an outpatient clinic after positional testing identifies findings consistent with BPPV.

Report 95992 once for the date of service, even when the clinician repeats or adjusts repositioning maneuvers during that visit. Documentation should identify the positional symptoms and findings, the affected side or suspected canal when known, the maneuver performed, and the patient's response. CMS assigns work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs to the service; the practice-expense RVU differs between office and facility settings.
