Audiology

About 92577: Speech Stenger hearing test

Reports a speech-based Stenger test used by an audiologist to assess reported unilateral or asymmetric hearing loss against behavioral responses.

An audiologist performs this behavioral test when a patient reports hearing loss that is substantially worse in one ear, particularly when responses on other hearing tests are inconsistent. Speech stimuli are presented to both ears at controlled levels, and the patient’s responses help assess whether the reported asymmetry is supported by the test. The test may be part of an outpatient audiologic evaluation, alongside other hearing measures when those are separately performed.

Report 92577 for the technical performance of the speech Stenger test; CMS identifies it as a technical-component-only service, with interpretation covered by a separate code. Documentation should identify the reason for testing, the test conditions, responses from each ear, and the findings. The code is priced as bilateral, so report the service once rather than adding modifier 50 to increase payment.
