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.

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.

95992 billing questions

Is 95992 reported once for each maneuver?

No. The code is reported per day, so repeated repositioning maneuvers during the same date of service do not create additional units.

How is 95992 different from positional nystagmus testing?

95992 describes treatment with a canalith repositioning maneuver. Positional nystagmus testing, such as 92542, is diagnostic assessment rather than repositioning treatment.

What documentation supports 95992?

Record positional symptoms and examination findings, the side or canal involved when identified, the maneuver performed, and the patient's response.

Can 95992 be reported with balance training?

A separately performed balance or coordination intervention may be distinct from repositioning. Document the separate skilled work rather than treating the maneuver itself as balance training.

Which clinicians commonly perform this service?

Physical therapists and physicians with vestibular training commonly perform canalith repositioning for BPPV.

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.
