Audiology
About 92568: Acoustic reflex threshold assessment
Reports measurement of the sound level that triggers an acoustic reflex, typically during diagnostic evaluation of hearing or middle-ear function.
An audiologist typically uses immittance equipment to measure the sound level that elicits an involuntary middle-ear muscle response. The test may be included in an outpatient diagnostic hearing evaluation when reflex thresholds help interpret auditory or middle-ear findings. Results are recorded by ear and can be considered alongside tympanometry and audiometry.
Report 92568 for the reflex-threshold measurement itself, rather than tympanometry alone or a broader immittance service that includes this measurement. Documentation should identify the ears tested, test conditions, measured thresholds or absent responses, and relevant interpretation. CMS prices the service on a bilateral basis, so modifier 50 does not increase payment. CMS identifies this as a therapy service; the professional component modifier does not apply.

Why are the office and facility amounts different?
For 92568 in Delaware, the physician’s office rate is $15.31 and the facility-setting rate is $12.67: a difference of $2.64.
The calculation uses a different practice-expense RVU for each setting. Both amounts here are physician fee-schedule amounts. The facility figure does not include a hospital’s separate charges, so this comparison does not tell you the total cost of receiving care in each setting.

(0.29 × 1.005 + 0.08 × 0.988 + 0.01 × 0.899) × $33.4009 = $12.67
The office and facility calculations use their respective practice-expense RVUs. The facility amount here is the physician fee, not a separate hospital or facility bill.

92568 billing questions
How is 92568 different from tympanometry?
92568 measures the sound level that elicits an acoustic reflex. Tympanometry, reported with 92567, assesses middle-ear pressure and mobility.
Should 92568 be reported with 92550?
92550 represents tympanometry together with reflex-threshold measurements. When both services are performed as that combined service, compare 92550 with reporting the individual tests.
How does 92568 differ from 92570?
92570 describes a broader acoustic immittance service that includes reflex-threshold measurement. Use 92568 when reporting the threshold test itself, rather than the broader service.
Should modifier 50 be appended?
CMS prices 92568 as bilateral. Modifier 50 does not increase payment.
Can modifier 26 be used for the professional work?
No. CMS identifies this as a therapy service for which the professional component modifier does not apply.
What should the record include?
Document the ears tested, test conditions, measured thresholds or absent responses, and the interpretation of the findings.
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.
