Audiology

About 92565: Pure-tone Stenger hearing test

Reports bilateral pure-tone Stenger testing used to assess suspected nonorganic hearing loss when reported hearing differs from audiometric findings.

A pure-tone Stenger test uses simultaneous tones of the same frequency presented to both ears at different levels. The response pattern helps assess suspected nonorganic hearing loss, often when a patient reports substantially poorer hearing in one ear than the audiometric findings support. An audiologist or other qualified hearing-care professional typically performs the test with audiometric equipment in an office or audiology setting.

Report this code for the technical testing, not for the interpretation, which is covered by a separate code. Documentation should identify the indication, test conditions, and responses that support the findings. CMS prices the code as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment. The test is reported for both ears as one bilateral service rather than as separate unilateral services.

92565 billing questions

When is the pure-tone Stenger test appropriate?

It is used to assess suspected nonorganic hearing loss, particularly when reported unilateral hearing loss is inconsistent with audiometric findings.

How does this differ from the speech Stenger test?

Code 92565 covers Stenger testing with pure tones. Code 92577 is for the speech version.

Does this code include interpretation?

No. This code covers the technical testing; a separate code covers interpretation.

Should modifier 50 be added?

CMS prices the service as bilateral, and modifier 50 does not increase payment.

Can pure-tone audiometry be reported with this test?

Pure-tone threshold testing may be performed in the same evaluation. Document the distinct testing performed and its results.

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.
