Audiology

About 92571: Filtered speech recognition test

Reports audiologic testing that presents filtered speech to assess speech recognition when portions of the speech signal are reduced.

An audiologist typically presents speech with selected frequency information reduced and evaluates the patient’s ability to recognize it. The test can help characterize speech understanding beyond routine pure-tone thresholds, including in an audiology workup for reported hearing or speech-recognition difficulty. It is performed in an audiology setting using auditory test equipment and speech materials.

Report 92571 for the filtered-speech testing itself, supported by documentation of the test performed and its results. CMS identifies this as a technical-component-only service; interpretation is represented by a separate code. The CMS fee schedule treats the service as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment. Distinguish it from speech-threshold testing and broader speech audiometry by the filtered stimulus and test purpose, rather than reporting it for ordinary word-recognition testing.

92571 billing questions

How does 92571 differ from complete speech audiometry?

92571 is for testing with filtered speech. Use 92556 for speech audiometry that measures speech recognition and related thresholds using its standard test materials.

Does 92571 include interpretation?

No. CMS identifies 92571 as technical-component-only; a separate code covers interpretation.

Should modifier 50 be appended when both ears are tested?

The CMS fee schedule treats 92571 as bilateral, and modifier 50 does not increase payment.

What documentation supports reporting 92571?

Document that filtered-speech testing was performed and record the test results. The documentation should distinguish this procedure from routine speech audiometry.

Is 92571 the same test as the staggered spondaic word test?

No. 92571 uses filtered speech; 92572 is the staggered spondaic word test, a distinct speech test.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
