What 92652 covers
This test records neural responses to sound at multiple frequencies to estimate hearing sensitivity. Audiologists commonly use it for infants and for patients who cannot provide reliable behavioral responses, including some patients with developmental or communication limitations. Testing is performed in audiology clinics and hospital settings, with results interpreted and documented in a report.
Report 92652 when the purpose is hearing-status determination across multiple frequencies, rather than a screening test or a neurodiagnostic evaluation. Documentation should identify the tested frequencies and ears, the response findings used to estimate hearing thresholds, and the interpretation. CMS prices this code as bilateral: the payment already reflects both ears, and modifier 50 does not increase payment.
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.

How to choose
- 92651Auditory evoked potentials
- Choose 92652 for hearing-threshold estimation across multiple frequencies. 92651 represents auditory evoked potentials for hearing-status determination without that multiple-frequency service.
- 92650Aep scr auditory potential
- 92650 is for auditory evoked-potential screening; 92652 is a diagnostic hearing-status evaluation across multiple frequencies.
- 92653AEP testing
- 92653 is for neurodiagnostic interpretation of auditory evoked potentials. 92652 is selected when the evaluation estimates hearing status across multiple frequencies.
92652 billing questions
How does 92652 differ from 92651?
92652 is for hearing-status determination across multiple frequencies. 92651 is used for hearing-status determination with auditory evoked potentials when the service is not the multiple-frequency threshold evaluation represented by 92652.
Can modifier 50 be used to increase payment?
No. CMS prices 92652 as bilateral, and modifier 50 does not increase payment.
Is this a screening test?
No. 92652 reports multiple-frequency testing to determine hearing status. 92650 is the auditory evoked-potential screening code.
When is 92653 more appropriate?
Use 92653 for auditory evoked potentials performed for a neurodiagnostic purpose. Use 92652 when the purpose is estimating hearing status across multiple frequencies.
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.
